QUESTION
UP FOR DISCUSSION

What is expected to be large meet
ing of citizens will be held in the
Senate Chamber at the Capitol this
evening to discuss measures to be
taken to prevent the further encroach-
ment of tenement house builders in the
residential sections of the city. This
is a question of interest to everyone
having desire to keep Honolulu a
beautiful city, while, in addition to
the purely esthetic side of the present
agitation is a strictly business side,
that of keeping property values up and
insurance rates down.
The Kaahumanu Improvement Club
has taken the initiative in this mat
ter. but the meeting tonight has been
called by the Central Improvement
Club and the invitation is general to
every interested citizen. 1t is expect
ed that there will be a number of rep
resentative japanese citizens at the
meeting to assure the community of
their interest.

an inkling of the reasons for the storm
of opposition that the proposed ex-

the Merchants Association is going

The Association has prepared a map
of the proposed Irwin site, the purpose
being primarily to show misinformed

an impression prevails as yet among
many, although contradieted on sever

END CROWNS
EARNEST WORK

The long looked for opening OF the
Union Hospital OF Cecil county was
made on Tuesday without any formal
observance OF the occasion. The idea
OF local hospital was broached by
DR.. Howard Bratton, OF Elkton, now
President OF the State Board OF Health
about six years ago to whose earnest,
unhagging and well directed efforts
the realization OF the project is large
ly due. He secured n number OF SIoo
subscriptions from public spirited res
idents with smaller ones from others
A public meeting was called and the
project was launched with the choice
OF a Board OF Directors. Later he
invited the cooperation OF the women
OF Elkton and the county in general
and a Ladies' Auxiliary Committee
representing the various churches Of
Elkton was formed with cooperating
committees in other neighborhoods
Their successive and successful enter
tainments of various kinds swellcd the
fund required considerably. The
County Commissioners voted $4,000 to
the fund and further help was obtain
ed from the Legislature through the
efforts oi former State Senator Hen
ry NJ. Mccullough Finally the resi-
dcnce known as the Singerly Cottage,
Cathedral street and Singerly avenue
with spacious grounds was bought for
$500 Additional ground was bought
the building was overhauled and work
was started in the fall OF 1907 upon a
new wing or annex built after the de.
signs and under the supervision OF
Levi o. Cameron. OF Elkton. The
work was admirably done, and the
wing conforms closev to the main
structure in general style of cxecu-
tion. The entire structure has been
painted and its appearance while not
imposing is quite impressive.
The complete structure is in the
shape OF an L. In the north end OF
the annex is a hall in each story in a
line with the hall in the original build
ing Opening into these halls is an
elevator running from the basement
to the third story In the halls are
the back stairways, with a sink on the
first floor and fine bathrooms on the
second and third floors The first
floor has two rooms or wards, each
Of which will accommodate FIVE pa
tieu,s The second floor is divided
lengthwisc by hall. on each side OF
which will be two rooms with a ca
pacity. il necessary, Of eight beds. The
operating room--2s by II icet-is at
the end Of the third floor toward the
south, and has five large windows.
Next to it is the ethcrizing room.
On the south end of the new build
ing are sun parlors for the first and
second stories. with balcony on top,
entered from the operating room. Ex-
ccllent provision has been made for
sunlight and air in every room and
hall
There will be accommodation for 20
patients. The cost OF rebuilding the
Singcrly cottage was about SIhoo. and
the annex was built at a cost OF about
