ARCHITECTS AND
CONTRACTORS BUSY
Many Homes Being Planned and
Built = Business Blocks
to Be Built.

Real estate men and architects are
being kept very busy these days with
home-bailding propositions Honolulu,
according to the dealers in land and
building contracts, is entering on a reg
ular boom in building Every archi-
tect's office in the city is crowded with
work, and inquiries for homes are more
active now than at any time for many
years past.
AS far as residences are concerned,
the building is largely of bungalows,
and the Japanese contractors are doing
n good deal of this work. However,
the white contracting firms have their
hands full. They are figuring on some
very big business building deals with
in the year, and there are some expen-
sivo residences going up.
The demand for small houses is very
strong, and all the contractors in town
cannot build them fast enough "Peo.

All Architects Busy.
"There is enough big work in sight
to keep us very busy" said IL. l..

being done by orientals. We are busy
on bigger jobs, and the indications are
that work will increase. Among the
contracts Mr.. Kerr is now working on
are the Library of Hawaii, to cost 1925

BETTER QUARTERS FOR
BANK Or HAWAII

Work will be begun Monday, ander
the supervision of Architect H. L. Kerr
on the alterations of the Judd building
to provide better quarters for the Bank
of Hawaii. About $4,000 will be spent
on the job, and it will take nearly a
year to finish it. The bank will con-
tinue to occupy its present Offices while
the work goes on, which makes it slow
job, as only one part of the building
can be worked on at time.
The bank is to take the whole ground
floor space, giving it about double the
room it now has. The elevator will be
moved to the makai end of the build

The Maui Chamber of Commerce has
decided that too much time has been

posed plan for steamer wharf at
Maalaea Bay and is going after the

cision. He stated yesterday that if the
decision stood, it means that the gov.

the future" said the Governor. "If

Everything that an officer must wear
is set down, however. There are
charts to tell him just how to dress,
and when to dress. Particular stress
is laid on the necessity of getting
no part of one uniform mixed with
another. Shoes must be this or that
color or style to accord with this or
that uniform. There is new style
for wearing aiguillettes even. They
must now be worn draped from the left
shoulder. Oh, there are style forms
for the army officer just as there are
for milady, and fashions in the army
seem to change as rapidly in the service

are ribbons which carry medals for
