Senator Chillingworth came to the
front again yesterday ms the cham.
pion of the oil trust. The first bill in
troduced by him was SO defective that
amendments in sufficient number and
strength could not be found to put it
into shape SO new one has been drawn
and sent to the Ways and Means com
mittee, the same one that turned down
the original bill. What action the com.
mittee will take on the new one is con
jectural.

the Associated Charities asking assist
ance. The petition was returned for

He had about made UP his mind In
favor of either the lot opposite the
Young hotel or the one across the
street, he said. There were other good
Sites however, and he wanted to get
the best. 1t would have to be proved
that Bishop street had been extended
and dedicated to the public use before
money could be paid over for the ma
kai lot. Either lot was only a hum
dred feet from Fort street, the city's
great traffic artery. 1t was rare indeed
that sufficient land could be obtained
for the site of Federal building near
the center of city.
Mr.. Taylor told the meeting that they
could take it for granted that there
would be a site selected and again ap-
pealed for second choices.
c. NJ Cooke moved that those present
vote on first, second and third choices
and suggested that others forward their
opinions to Mr.. Taylor by mail today.
c. j. Hutchins seconded the motion.
paid to the dust question on the makai
site as the problem would disappear
when the streets were properly Oiled
In his opinion the makai site was fifty
per cent ahead of the other.
CO.. Sam Parker thought that those
present weren't going the right way
about securing a Federal building. 1t
would be much easier to get a building.
he thought, IL the government was Civ
en- the land. Why not rebuild the
judiciary building? he asked. He didn't
believe in taking a vote as it would
only be the vote of Interested parties
The prices of the proposed sites were
bound to be high, some probably four
times as much as taxes were being paid
on 1t would take a year or more to
put condemnatory proceedings through.
when you've been here little long
err, Mr.. Taylor you'll know all about
it, he concluded.
Mr., Dodge remarked that the Bishop
Estate offered the land for considerably
less than they were paying taxes on 1t
and for considerably less than the
amount of the appropriation.
Fred Macfarlane said that one feat
ure had not been touched upon. 1t
hadn't been suggested that the site Sc
lected be large enough to have park
around the building. He thought that
1t would be wise to leave that matter
in Mr.. Taylors hands.
Mr.. Taylor said that while the idea
was good it took money to take care
OF parks and II they weren't kept up
they quickly became eyesores. He
said that he wouldn't take vote on
second choices at present but stated
that II any present cared to send him
their choice of sites or any suggestions.
he would be glad to receive them.
Governor Carter said that Hawaii
suffered from having the iron shoe OF
lHt Dl
He said that II there were room for
park round the building the Territory
would undertake to take proper care
Of it. He desired the Federal building
to be a credit to not only Hawaii but
the Union. Hawaiians enjoyed nature
and nothing would so much. enhance
the appearance OF the building as some
royal palms and a lawn In front.
F.. ]. Lowrey expressed hope that the
lot in front of the Young building would
one day be converted into public
park
