part of the city, can go on comfort
ably and safely. The slight alteration
would give the street something of a
fan shape, opening on what is fire.
uuently the most animated part of the
waterfront, and would at once attract
attention of strangers as being an en-
blem of good sense and convenience.
The date and other palm trees with
in the line of this improvement could
be carefully dug out, set back to line
and made to form beautiful APP
pearance.
There is some talk of leasing the old
fishmarket property. / hold that there
should be no lease until this improve
ment is made. The improvement is an
urgent necessity, and I believe that 80
per cent of the people who will think
over the matter two minutes will
agree with me.
In this connection I might further
add that, in my opinion, the street
now called Allen street could be more
appropriately named Front street, or
better still Naval Parade.
There are numerous small reasons
for this improvement, but L wish to,
be brief. The expense of it would be
small at most. If prisoners who cut
grass and keep the grounds In shape
were put to work laying out and level
ling it into the street annex, there
would be scarcely any expense at all.
This is a matter well worth the fav-
orable attention of the Supervisors.

A STEADY FIRE.

During the discussion of the Madden
Bill for cheaper gas Congressman Lee
care told the following story of a.
cook he had once brought from home
with him. She was a splendid SER
want, but she didn't know anything
about gas to cook with, so he went to
the kitchen with her to explain about
the range. So that she could see how
it was operated, he lit each of the many
burners. While still explaining, mes
sage called him from the kitchen, and
he left her, saying, 81 guess you will
find that it will work ali right now,
Martha" He didn't see the cook
again for four or five days, then upon
entering the kitchen he said, "Well,
Martha, how's that range doingR"
To his utter CONSERVATION she replied,
"Deed, sir, that Is the best stove L
ever did see. That fire what you
kindled for me four days ago is still
a-burning, and it amt even lowered
once. "-Lippincott' IS.

STREET IMPROVEMENT
ON THE WATERFRONT

Editor Advertiser: I wish to call
your attention to one small piece of
work that would prove of immense
value to the waterfront near the Naval
docks and great convenience to the
public at large. Reference is made
TO the foot of Alakea street, which
should be at once widened sufficiently
to accommodate the traffic there. In
place of being wider at this point,
where traffic and travel are greatest,
the street is actually narrower than
at any other section of it's entire
length. i saw the memo wars'm men
trying to ,maneuver there a few days
ago and was struck with this fact.
While the drill was going on, there
was not room for carriages, street
cars, automobiles or even pedestrians
to pass. So narrow is the street, in
fact, that, to have a straight course.
the street car tracks had to be set
far over mauka. This throws vehicles
of every sort and pedestrians going
both ways together on the Waikiki
side of the street, a strip far too mar
row to contain and accommodate them.
What is to be done? The remedy
is easy. Beginning at Halekauila
street, extend the Waikiki boundary
of Alakea street in straight line,
across the old .fishmarket lot, to the
waterfront. This would mean cutting
about ten feet off the defunct fish
market lot at Halekauila street, the
width gradually increasing to fifty
feet at the harbor front. Do this, and
You do not only improve the appear
ance of Alakea street but you widen
1t to the extent that travel of every
kind, perhaps more than in any other

THE GOVERNOR
AND H|LO WHARF
Inter-Island Directors Urge the
Expediture of $4,000
Item.

A committee of the directors of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
panv waited on Governor Frear yester-
day to urge on him that the S2O,O0O
from the loan fund appropriated by the
legislature for the Hilo wharf be spent
for that wharf The amount was not
included in the $2sS,000 bond issue
which the Governor has approved.
The committee urged the need of the
wharf. There is another wharf there
to which the steamers of the Inter
Island Company can come up-the
Hilo railroad wharf, but the committee
claimed it could get permission to use
that wharf only on the windward side,
which was not always safe. The Gov
ernor was not convinced that the COM
pany had exhausted endeavor to Sc
cure permission to bring its vessels
to the leeward side.
The principal reason, however, why
the item was rejected when the total
of the bond issue was made up, is that
the Hilo breakwater, work on which
will commence very shortly, is likely
to altogether change the arrangement
of the wharves and slips in Hi1o har-
Dor. Hence the Governor does not
feel justified in spending $4,000 on
wharf which may be obsolete in
very few years. Something like $40,-
900 has already been spent on the
wharf, and the $4,000 appropriated
from the loan fund was not for in
creasing its size or carrying it out to
deeper water, but was merely TO change
the angle at which the wharf extends
into the water so as to better meet
prevailing winds and seas In addi-
tion a large amount will have to be
spent for repair from current accounts.
The committee consisted of Presi-
dent J. A. Kennedy, w. o. Smith and
c. NJ. Cooke.
