DRAWING PLANS FOR
GARAGE ALTERATION
Associated Is Converting an Un-
welcome Necessity Into a
Blessing.

ciated garage, has been the busy man
on gasoline row during the week. Ths
final arrangements for the widening OF
the extension Of Bishop street have
made necessary the alteration Of the
building, long slice being taken off
it on the Eva side. This slice is nearly
| as long as the building itself, and is
wide enough to decrease the floor space
materially and uncomfortable
Architect Kerr is now working on
| the detailed plans for the alterations,
and Manager Hall has been burning the
midnight oil figuring out his exits and
entrances, as if he was preparing to
stage play.
As the plans stand at present. the
/ garage viii become one Of the best
arranged in the city, and will have the
advantage of fronting on three streets.
| There will be two entrances on Bishop
street, one on Merchant street and one
on Queen street.
| The one on Merchant street viii be
/
| ing there having the choice of three
exits. The Merchant street entrance
was an afterthought, and was ordered
| solely as a convenience to autoists, who
can drive right alongside OF the auto
sundry salesrooms. make their purchases
and get away without leaving their
| cars, at the same time being able to
look over the stock.
The salesrooms Will be remodeled com
pletelv, and will occupy the mauka Eva
corner of the building, taking up all
the room except that needed for the
passageway for the machines. What Is
left Of the present building after the
| Eva wall is taken down and rebuilt
further back, viii be used for storage
purposes only, and as the shops viii
be taken out, it will leave more floor
space than at present.
The building will be extended On the
Waikiki side to make up for the loss
of room on the other, and machine
shop and repair room, sixtyfve by
seventy-five feet, will be constructed
there. Part Of this space will be de
> voted to an overflow room, and abso-
lutely nothing will be done with the
cars except in this annex.
. On the Merchant street side of this
J annex Will be the tireroom, where the
garages complete vulcaniZing and other
tire departments will be installed. In
front of this, again, there will be an
open-air space for packing and shipping.
The alterations will commence. neces-
sisafly. as soon as the city commences
, the extension of Bishop street.
. The Royal Chauffeur.
James Quinn, supervisoriai chauffeur,
can kowtow to royalty with the best
of them now. He knows the exact in
= dentation Of the spine necessary TO
please a Prince Royal of heavenly
: descent, mere Sultan and a nobleman.
4 When Jim sized up the list of pros
: pective arrivals at the commencement
of the week he decided that he was cut
out for a courtier and would try and
land some of the royal fish that were
= scheduled to seek the waters of the
Paradise of the Pacific.
Consequently he spent the first part
, of the week practising the bow he was
j, going to make before His Imperial
, Highness Prince Tsai Hsun. He got a
book of anatomy and checked off the
exact vertebrae where he was to dis
connect himself when the Prince was to
hand him his auto fare and a brass
medal
Then the Prince got cold feet and
| decided that Prince in a stateroom is
4 safer than a fraction of one outside.
: Jim was in dispair until the transport
Sherman tied up al the Matson wharf
and the cute features Of the Sultan
of Sulu gazed curiously over the side
OF the big boat
Jim frightened mp on the instant and
rushed back to his auto. seized his book
l of anatomy and checked off the Yerte
brae four inches further up; for the Sui

When the Sultan came down the
gargplank. James let off the salaam
= at half-cock and although he got the
wrong yertebTae, the Sultan was 80
pleased with him that he engaged him
t and they sailed off.
= Then besides this Jim took out the
+ Governor of Samoa when the latter ar
rived on the colonial liner. which gave
him 4 fair start in his career as a
conrtier. He won't look at a governor
now. Yesterday an unassuming young
