EXPERT STEERE
TESTIF|ES ON
.MAHUKA VALUES
Third Section of Federal Build
ing Site Cases Goes to
Jury on Friday

F. E. Steere, testifying in the Ma
huka- site hearing this morning for
the government, fixed total valua-
ton of $46,480 for the Office. Supply
Company site. estimating the land to
be- worth $37,9S0 and the improve
ments $500. He divided the land, for
the purpose of appraisement, into two
classes, taking the frontage and depth
for an area of 36x70 feet and Faluing
that at $3.50 per square foot, the re.
mainder at IS per square foot.
Attorney Olson, for the owners, in
cross examination developed the fact
that $35 per square foot had been paid
for neighboring properties in 1911.
One of these was the sale by the Ha-
waiian Trust Company to the Brewer
Estate of the Chambers Drug Com
pany building site, where that amount
was paid for the land alone Another
was the sale, in 1911 by Bruce Cart
wright Sr., to Thomas Douglas of a
one-sixth interest in the Gunst corner
at $35.25 per square foot, for the land
alone.
All evidence probably will be con-
cluded and arguments at least partial
ly finished tomorrow morning, and the
case is expected to go to the jury some
time Friday morning.

A present cause of delay of the

of surveyors just now to do the work.

That Labona deliberately planned
to take the shippers life is the claim

smoking revolver in hand take care

Altogether four shots, were fired
from the gun held by Labona at the

By the time the final shot had been

The skipper proceeded to the police
