The reckless and insolent automo-
bilist is hated the world over. In the
Philippines. where most of the auto
mobilists are foreigners. and where
the natives have been used to loiter
comfortably in the roads after the
fashion of easy-going southern coun.
tries, the automobiles have long been
grievance, and, failing to secure ef-
fective regulation. the Filipinos have
adopted the practice of rolling big
boulders into the roadway as a hint
not to turn corners at breakneck
speed.

URGES MUNICIPAL
BUILDING IN CITY
A. H. Ford Talks to AID Club
w. o. Smith Gives His
Ideas.

Pulling Together for the Civic
Building" was the topic for the Al
Club lunch meeting yesterday noon at
the Young Rathskelier. The civic build
ing is one of Alexander Hume Ford g
pet schemes.
From Mr.. Ford 5 figures it appears
that at least sixty thousand dollars an.
nually could be secured from rentals
to be paid by public or quasi-public
organizations.
The proper place for such build
ing, Mr.. Ford said, is the property of
the Bishop Estate across the street
from the Young Hotel.
w. o. Smith one of the trustees of
the Bishop Estate, said he would not
sell the property in question for any
price. He was sure, however, that the
estate would consent to lease it, though
it would require to have specified in
the lease the character of the build.
ing that it was proposed to erect
The Bishop Estate, he said, wanted
to have building erected ON che prop.
erty that would be credit to the city
and to the location. The estate would
not lease any part of the block so
that there was no danger Of the site
being disfigured by an abomination of
hotchpotch architecture.
Mr.. Smith thought that Mr.. Ford s
ideas We're, in the main good but he
was afraid that the different bodies in.
terested would be unable to raise suf-
icient money to carry their plans into
effect. He also doubted if the city
was quite ready to father such an am
bilious project.
