Boil until the damsons are ready

amount of sugar and boil steadily

to give the rooms rent free, the super

SOME H|LO|TES
OBJECT To PLAN
New Courthouse for Hawaii
City Not Designed to
Please Everyone.

Among the appropriations that will
be urged on the next Legislature by the
delegation from Hawaii will be fnan.
cial provision for new courthouse at
Hilo, built upon modern plans and in
tended to meet the present and future
necessities of the big islands civil ad-
ADMINISTRATION.
Superintendent of Public Works Mars
ton Campbell has had plans for the new
courthouse prepared and, should the
building be provided for, Hilo will have
a public structure that it may well be
proud Of The plans call for ample
provision for. the various administra-
tive departments and, in addition to
considering the requirements Of the
present day, provision has been made
that win meet the needs of expansion.
The most uptodate methods will be
followed in the erection of the build
ing. Reinforced concrete is the mate
rial to be used, and the design calls for
a structure of the very best construc-
ton. All of the executive offices will
have plenty of room, and fireproof
vaults for the storage of public docu-
ments.
The chamber intended for the delib-
erations of the supervisors will be par
ticularly spacious and suited for the re-
quirements The large windows will
be feature of the building, and a
large, well-lighted basement is designed
to provide for general storage pur-
poses.
The delegation of lawmakers from
Hawaii will come to the Legislature
with the unanimous determination to
secure the necessary appropriation. The
new courthouse is looked upon as an
absolute necessity, and it is pointed out
that the present quarters are not only
inadequate but tend to limit the effi-
cheney of the county government.
Through the gathering of all of the
executive departments in one building
it is argued that the general work
would be greatly benefited and that
there would be no small profit in the
economy that would naturally result.
'EWe have designed this building for
practical utility" said Superintend-
ent Campbell, in speaking of the new
courthouse. s'Nothing that our expe-
