WOULD MAKE PARK Of
FORESTRY GROUNDS

William Savidge wants to see the
corner of the territorial forestry station
at King and Keeaumoku streets turned
into a public park. In speaking of the
matter Saturday afternoon he said.
eff the authorities would only tear
down the fence, place a few benches
around the trees. and make the grounds
easily accessible to the general public,
they would be doing the people ser.
vice well worth while The trees are
large enough so that there would be
no danger of their sustaining injury.
and the parks and walks are already
there
Even a corner of the grounds would
be better than the way they at present
are fenced off, but l believe that the
public should be allowed ready access
to the entire makai-Waikiki end. It
would be worth all it would cost. to
people who have to wait there for the

WORK STARTED
Plans for the kaIaupapa Home
Completed; Money
Ready.

Plans for the new home at Kalau-
papa have been completed and $13,S50
has been subscribed toward the project.
This money will pay the cost of erect
ing and equipping the building, accord
ing to Trustee Morgan. Considerable
lumber is now on the ground and a
beginning has been made on the con-
struction work. Morgan believes that
the building will be ready for occu-
pancy within the next six months.
The home will contain twelve large
bed rooms, a social hall twenty by
thirty feet in size, reception room, large
dining hall, sick ward, nurses rooms,
kitchens, pantries and store rooms, am,
pie bath arrangements and will be sur
rounded on all sides by wide verandas.
Ia the grounds there will be detached
cottage for nurses.
The construction work is being car
ried on under the supervision of Su-
perintendent j. D. McVeigh. All of
the work is being done by mechanics
from the settlement
The building project has met with
general favor and one man alone sub
seribed $1,000. The entire $13,S50 was
subscribed by eleven persons and firms.
While the building will be under the
supervision of the Board of Health,
Trustee Morgan will have a say in mat
tiers relating to its disposition and it
will be used for the purpose for which
the money was donated and no other.
A special fund, to provide extra COM
forts for the patients, not included in
the regular rations, is now being col
lected. The fund is as yet small, but
it is believed that it can be increased
to such size that the interest will be
ample to provide the rations and other
supplies.
