reported, all at the prevailing price
$1,000 Olaa g. brought $3.50, while $1O,-

The market for shares continues
fairly firm, but trading is rather light,
as compared with the past few weeks.
A sale of 10 shares of Waimanalo

THE PALAMA
TENEMENTS
PAY RICHLY

paid on certain of the property on ac-
count of the fact that the leases un-
der which it is held were made many
years ago and therefore not to be
taken as even approximating what the
same property should pay if leased
within the past few years.
Breckons asked him about the e. o.
Hall premises. Reidford replied that
he had not calculated on the rental
paid on that property, the lease hav-
ling been made away back in the COS.
Under further questioning he stated
that e. o. Hall & Son pay only $1,000
a year for the premises.
Many of the clients of the Bishop
Trust Company, stated the witness,
would refuse to part with any invest
ments that pay them as high as five
per cent year. This, however, was
by no means the maximum of returns
on Hawaiian investments. For IN
stance, he said, sugar stocks pay as
the money invested in them Much of
the real estate averages returns of
about five per cent, but it would be
hard to arrive at an average of the
returns. For instance, he said, the
cheap tenements in Palama return as
high as fifteen and twenty per cent on
the money invested, while there is
some property that pays much less
| than five per cent.
Breckons requested the witness tc
figure an approximate average of the
per cent of return on real estate in
vestments in Honolulu. The witness
protested that this would be difficult
but Breckons insisted and gave hin
until tomorrow morning to arrive al
the figure.

MANOA VALLEY
FIRE PROTECTION

BY Thursday next a portion of Ma
noa Valley will be protected from fire
by a fine water supply The water
will be along Oahu avenue this week,
and that part of the valley win be
safe Within three months, the whole
suburb will be protected from fire.
The pipes for the mains are ar
irving well on time from the mainland,
and the superintendent of public
works is very pleased. The work of
putting the mains down is also going
ahead well, and the job will be rushed
to a finish.

TO BOOM HAWAII
ATlTHE SHRINE

"The Shrine conclave in Los An
geles, which opens on May this year,
is going to be the biggest thing in the
way of conventions that that city has
ever had," is the declaration of J. S.
McCandless, who is just back from
making the preliminary arrangements
for the part the Honolulu Arab Patrol
is to take in the big event.
"We have arranged to have Hawai-
ian headquarters in the Lankersheim
Hotel" continued Mr. McCandless,
"and have engaged twelve rooms. We
shall hold our reception on the night
of Monday, May 6, and it is going
to be one of the features of the oc-
casion They are expecting big things
from Honolulu in Los Angeles. In
his official anpoupcement, Motley H,
Flint, chairman of the committee on
arrangements, has given us a great
send-off, and this has been scattered
broadcast among the Shriners over
the country"
From now until the local Shriners
start on their pilgrimage, about April
% or "a, there will be continuous
preparation made A big ball to be
given at the Outrigger Club shortly
and later a minstrel performance, are
/ expected to help swell the fund for
expenses which are going to be heavy
| but other than this, the people of Ho,
nolulu are not to be asked to assist
Notwithstanding the fact that the af-
| fair will doubtless be one of the great
est advertising features for the isl
ands that has ever been given on the
mainland, 1t is possible that the Ha
waii Promotion Committee may be
asked to help bear the expense of en-
tering great float, which will be
representative of the islands.
The local patrol will number about
80, although it is probable that many
others from Honolulu will attend the
festivities.

PART Of SEWER
MAY Be MADE

Although the awards have not been
made for the contract for the con
struction of the Waipilopilo sewers,
the full figures are now available.
The firms that put bids in, and the
amounts of their tenders, are as fol-
lows: Lord & Young Engineering
Company, S54,15753; Honolulu Con.
struction Company, $55,G0O.O5; L. M,
Whitehouse, s5S,S4l.55; J, Il. Wilson,
S59,131SO
The amount of money in hand at
present is not sufficient to cover the
fun expense of the construction of the
sewer. If no further appropriation is
granted, only part of the work can
be done at present The balance will
have to wait till after August next,
when further money will be available.
For the three largest items in the
work-such as the twentyfour-inch
pipes, the crossing of the river and
the bridging-three of the firms have
sent in figures that are very close. 1t
is possible that only contracts for
these three items may be let at pres
ent.

The owners of the cheap tenements
in Palama make from fifteen to twen-
ty per cent on their investments, ac-
cording to a statement made under
oath this morning by r. r. Reidford,
manager of the Bishop Trust Com
pany, whereas most Of the owners of
other real property think themselves
fortunate if their investments earn
them as much as five per cent.
Mr. Reidford was testifying as an
expert for the defense in the Mahuka
site case which is dragging it's weary
way along in the Federal court His
testimony, though highly technical
and running into much detail as to
values and returns, was very interest
ing. 1t is probable that he will be on
the stand the rest of today and at
least a part of tomorrow
Mr.. Reidford fixes value of SILL
900 on the Cummins property that is
under lease to Castle & Cooke. He
stated that he was keenly interested
in the matter under trial and had for
weeks been preparing his data and
working to arrive at a proper valua-
ton of the property. In this work he
had consulted with G. w. Olson, Judge
Stanley, James Pratt, Eugene Steere
and e. L. Schwarzberg.
Under cross-examination by United
States District Attorney R. w Breck-
ons, Reidford was asked the most
searching questions as to how he ar.
rived at his valuation of the property
and of what it does and ought to- re
turn to the owners. He stated that
he had taken into consideration the
values and profits of all the surround
ing property but that he had eliminat
ed from his calculations the rentals

TO RAISE ROADS
GREEN
!, IN KEWALO TRACT

Tomorrow active field work will be-
gin on the existing roads in the Ke-
walo section of the city. AS the own
ers of the land are responsible for
the bringing of their land up to the
proper grade, it was easy to see that
the government should do its part OF
the work and fill in the low-lying
roads.
Some filling in is being done by
owners, but the great bulk of the
work will be done in one big contract
that will be under the jurisdiction OF
the public works department. The
owners will pay tor the work later on
A big field staff from the public
works department will start in right
away to get the grade figures, and
thus estimate the amount of material
that will be necessary to bring the
low lands up to the proper mark.
1t was Marston Campbell who, IN
conference with the governor, attor
ney general and the land commits
sioner, declared that the government
should perform its part of the hiline
in of the low lying streets in the Ke
Walo section. Campbell waived ser
vice of notice on his department, anc
agreed to go ahead with the necessary
work at once.
