CANNOT BUILD THE
MAKIKI TENEMENT

Police Magistrate Andrade yesterday
afternoon decided in favor of the com
plainant in the case of c. j. Mccarthy
VS.. Muranaka and Yamana, which was
in the nature of a test of County Ordi-
nance No. II, recently passed by the
Board of Supervisors. The court sus-
tains the order preventing the erection
of tenements within certain distance
of a school building, with especial ref
erence to tenement camp for Japan
csc on PiikOi street, opposite Kaahu-
manu- school.
A short time ago some property fac
ing on Piikoi street and another por-
ton of it facing ON Klnau street, form
ing an L around buildings on the cor
ner of these two streets, was being
prepared for a new Japanese compound.
Makiki residents held a mass meeting
in protest, and the matter was event
ually brought to the attention of the
Board of Supervisors, who passed Ordi-
nance No. IL, dealing with this subject.
The contractors, however, started to
build, and then Col. Mccarthy brought
proceedings.
An appeal has been taken by Attor-
ney Peters on behalf OF the defend
ants, and his next move will probably
be a plea in bar on the ground that
the contractors received a permit to
build the place from the Superintend-
ent of Public Works.
