HOTEL STREETS
MERRY MIX-UP
One Dunning Does Stunts With
an Auto and Some
Officers.

A strong man named Dunning, half
a dozen policemen, and a Saturday
night crowd woke up things consider
ably for brief spell on Hotel street,
last evening.
Dunning, along about 8 p. M, ex-
hibited E beery curiosity in the me-
chanism of a merry automobile stand
ing outside the "Cri,' the owner hay
ing gone inside to replenish his stock
of gasoline.
Detective Lake happened along while

ly bosom and waded into the fray.
After an exchange of muscular re-
partee of which the detective got none
the best, Chris Holt came to Lakes
assistance and proceeded to put Dun
ming under arrest. The latter's gorge
rose and he became fighting son of
d gun. The united efforts of Holt and
Lake couldn't down Dunning and even

every property owner signed the peti-
tion for the extension. The presump-
tion was that the propertyo owners
along the extension would pay their
share for the betterments.
Mr.. Campbell stated that the Water
house Trust company had not ap-
preached Mr.. Taylor first. He came to
them after he had looked over the pro-
posed sites and the Mahuka site was
his preference. It was Mr.. Tayior's
idea, which was expressed to Governor
Carter by himself, that it was only
matter of time when Bishop street ex-
tension would be demanded by the COM
munity. If the Bishop estate lot-the
only other one Mr.. Taylor was disposed
to consider-were selected, then, instead
of $3.50 square foot, the price of land
would jump to $5 for Bishop street ex-
tension purposes.
BY having the street extended now
by the Territory, with the assessment
for betterments deducted, it would cost
only matter of $4,000. Perhaps the
abutt.ng owners would avoid the ne
cessity for an assessment by subscrib-
ing $4,000.
Mr.. Campbell did not believe that the
Governor was wantonly throwing oo-
stacles in the way of opening Bishop
street, but that his sole motive was
belief that it would cost $35, 900 and that
the treasury was not in a position to
stand the outlay.

A. n. Campbell of the Henry Water
house Trust Co., when questioned on
the subject matter of the foregoing let
ter, did not care to speak for that con-
Germ but frankly stated his personal
understanding of the business. In sub
stance he said:
1.-THE first bid of the Henry Water
house Trust Co. was for s14S,000. We
expected that Uncle Sam would buy the
extension of Bishop street, therefore in
cluded the price of that in our bid.
"Mr. Taylor, however. stated that
Uncle Sam would not pay for the
street. He made a counter-proposi-
ton that the Territorial Government
should open the street.
Accordingly our final bid was for
s107, 7,O0o''

understanding with the property-own-
ers, Mr.. Campbell stated the fact that

THE FEDERAL
SITE SELECTION
Some Queries About 1t Are
Discussed by Those at
Interest.
Honolulu. April 8, 1907.


Editor Advertiser: The community
well know that Secretary Cortelyou
has approved of Mr.. Taylor's selection
of the property known as the Mahuka
property for the Federal building site.
but this selection is made conditional
on Bishop street being extended
through from King street to Merchant
street. 1 am one of great number
who would like to know the true status
of this matter, and if you could answer
the following questions through the
columns of your valued paper, you
would be throwing great deal of light
on the situation:
First When the agents of the Ma
huka property made their tender to
the authorities at Washington, in an
swer for sealed bids, did they intend
that in addition to the price for which
they offered the property, say s148,00O.
the taxpayer should pay $4,000 for that
part of their land which would be used
in the extension of Bishop street?
If so, did they ask the government
to pay them $35. 900 for the land to be
used in said street, and what reply did
the government make?
Second. Referring to the petition
circulated by the agents of the Ma
huka property, to have condemnation
proceedings taken out to condemn the
land necessary for the extension Of
Bishop street, were the property-hold-
ers owning land adjacent to said street
consulted in the matter, and did said
property-holders agree to pay such
betterments as would be assessed
against their property for said extern
sion?
Third. Did the agents of the MANU-
ka property in said block, including
the property which has been selected
for the Federal building site, agree to
pay their proportion of whatever bet
terments may be assessed against their
property?
In one of the evening papers, the |
Governor is charged with having |
thrown obstacles in the way of acquir- |
ing the Mahuka property for the Fed /
eral building site, and while I cannot
see what object he could possibly have
in doing such a thing, it might be well |
to ascertain from him what object he |
would have in SO doing. if he did do So
