signs Of progress. The houses erected
IN this section are. for the most part,
more pretentious and many Of them
might almost be dignitied by the name
OF mansions. Much real estate has
changed hands recently and the new
owners seem anxious to put up new
houses for themselves
The same is true of Nuuanu Valley.
In that direction the city is developing
rapidly and all along the road that
leads to the Pail new houses are going
up. The traveller along that road sees
at every turn almost. beautiful bunga-
lows and other styles of residences
that have only recently been CON
structed
General Growth.
Other sections of town are showing
"a quiet but substantial growth
Throughout Kalihi one sees constantly
new cottages, either just completed or
IN process of erection. Marquesville
is a residence section that is fast com
ing to the front and one who has not
visited that section Of the suburbs
within the past year would be aston
ished to see what has been done in that
period.
And scattered throughout the entire
city are many evidences of the rapid
and material growth of city that is
inevitably destined to become. within
a few short years, a much greater city
than the residents of a few years ago
ever dared dream it would be.
Business Blocks.
Although there is not a great deal
of building now in progress in the
downtown section, plans have been
made for the erection within the next
few months of several imposing struc-
lures.
The Y. NJ c. \. building on Hotel
street will probably be started within
the next fortnight, and this, when com
pleted, viii add greatly to the general
attractiyeness and air of prosperity of
Honolulu.
Tenants Of the old Pantheon block
have been notified to vacate this week
and the old buildings VIII Immediately
be torn down. to make room for the
SS0000 reinforced concrete building
that is to take their place.
As stated yesterday in The Adver-
tiser. the Carnegie Library building
to be located at the corner of King and
/ Punchbowl streets, viii probably be
started next February. This will add
very much to the attractiveness of that
section of the city, and viii probably
have the effect of encouraging the
building of other fine structures in Its
! Immediate neighborhood.
/ And. then. there is in prospect the
proposed federal building. Just where
| this is TO he located is still matter Of
conjecture, but it will certainly be
| somewhere near the business center OF
| the city. And when completed. it vii
| without doubS be an incentive to neigh
| boring property owners to improve
their property and put up buildings il
j keeping with their imposing neighbor.
Army and Navy Building.
/ Much building IS planned for the army
and navy. Fort Shafter will without
j doubt be increased to regimental size
which viii mean that the size and mum
Der of the buildings Of the post will be
multiplied several times over.
| At Fort Ruger ten porary camp OF
! very respectable size has already been

! permanent barracks viii he erected
which viii add largely to the beauty
/ Of that district.
Honolulu Waterfront.
! The construction last wear Of the Ala
kea street wharf added greatly to the
accommodations and appearance of the
| Honolulu waterfront, Now comes the
! announcement that the ,rn--arr7r .,
proposes to erect alongside this fnf
! wharf another which is to he equally
| as large and imposing in appearance
| and which viii accommodate as many
| large vessels. Other extensive improve
