officers. in which tactics of various
kinds are being taken up. On Friday
it is expected that the local company
will be divided into two sections and
One-half will be given a position to
hold while the others do the attack
ing. Twenty-four hundred rounds
blank ammunition will be furnished
for this purpose.
Front Street Work.
There is a likelihood that work on
the remacadamizing Of Front street
will be commenced in the near future.
County Engineer Southworth, in an
interview, stated that the plan was to
macadamize only the mauka half of
Front street. The plans were for
ten-foot sidewalk and twenty-five
foot roadway on each side of the
street, with a space of sixteen feet in
the center for a street car line or
parkway. At the present time he
stated that the county did not have
the money available for rebuilding
both sides of the street.
Mr.. Southworth also stated that the
Bishop Estate had agreed to do the
necessary sidewalk work on both sides
of Front street and that the territorial
government was also going to do it's
part of the work, which would mean
that the entire stretch would soon be
completed and in good shape. In the
business section the cement sidewalk
would be the full ten feet wide, with
a parkway of two feet on each side.
Engineer Southworth says that the
entire job must be completed for the
$4,000 available, but according to his
figures, which give the approximate
cost of macadam of an average depth
of seven inches, at $3.50 per cubic
yard, this would mean that only about
quarter of a mile of road twenty-five
feet wide would be constructed.
Board of Trade.
AS the result of a suggestion made
by DR.. Elliot at the meeting of the Hilo
Board of Trade held Tuesday after
noon, in the future night meetings at
which large attendances are expected
will be held every three months and
a special program of speeches on vari-
GUS subjects of interest will be ar
ranged. Mr.. Kennedy suggested that
some men could only be touched
through their stomachs and that it
would be a good idea to have din
ner on the occasions mentioned, at
which all might come together for a
general good time, as well as for bust
ness. DR.. Elliot, however, thought
that this idea would better come up a
little later on.
Applications for membership broke
ing voted i'm. The following new
corners have. swelled the membership
of the board to nearly sixty William
Pullar, James Webster, w. II. Heen,
w. H. Beers, w. F. Cole, Charles
Swain, Vasco Osorio, John Ross,
Harry Irwin, Levi Lyman r. r. For
rest, A. j. TAFT, Judge W. S, Wise,
Judge c. F. Parsons and Hilo Tele-
phone Company.
Among the matters which came up
for consideration was the agreement
in connection with the use of the pro-
posed Hilo wharf to be made between
the government and the Hilo Railroad
Company. The text of this agreement
has never been made public, and after
considerable discussion, on the mo-
ton of Mariner, seconded by Osorio,
the secretary was instructed to write
the harbor commissioners asking for
full information on the subject before
any final action be taken.
The matter of the coming visit of
the Pacific fleet to Honolulu was also
mentioned, and the fact that the local
people would like to have the vessels
or at least some of them visit this
city. 1t was finally moved by DR.. Mich
E Olo anu SGCOuu6u ny NIL hSuueuy that
, the secretary be instructed to write at
once to the admiral in command and
ask that Hilo be paid visit by the
, warships. In this letter the fact that
the officers and men might enjoy max
ing a trip to the Kilauea volcano will
, also be called attention to.
, Mr. Brughelli called the attention
, of the board to the fact that the orig
inal purpose of the organization, the
? fostering of business in this city and
, adding to it in various ways, was be-
, ing lost sight of, in his opinion, and
, too much entertaining was being done
He said that when men came to Hilo
and wanted to go into business they
were always discouraged unless they
came to him. If they went to the
business men of the town they were
