GENERAL WOOD URGES COMPLETION
OF THE FORTIFCATIONS OF HAWAII

Pacific were the completion of the for
tifcations at Hawaii, the Philippines
and the Panama Canal.
There are" said General Wood, "in
the opinion Of the department, the
three most important pieces of work
in which we are at present engaged.
feel, however, that greater atten-
ton should be given to the comp'e-
ton of work in the Philippine Islands,
canal zone, and the Hawaiian Islands
,han anywhere else; and if reductions
are to be made in our estimates rath-
er than reduce the estimates for the
above works that the work in the
United States should be reduced to
basis of mere maintenance, with
such allotment for ammunition as you
can give u.s."

meeting of the Civic Sanitation Coln-
mittee this morning. All the mem
bers of the committee were present,
and the sense of the meeting was
that, while the efficient services of
Judge Lymer were recognized, his re-
quest that he be allowed to go back
to his private practice should be
granted
Everything is running so smoothly
now that it is not thought necessary
to retain the separate legal depart
ment. When DR.. Mccoy returns from
Hawaii, about March 20, he will take
hold of the reins of office, and will
attend to the sending out of notices
to people who are not complying with
the rules regarding mosquitoes.

Is Exterminated

On March 20 Judge Lymer will step
out of the management of the legal
department of the Board of Health.
That is to say, he will cease to make
the office near the Judiciary building
his headquarters, and thereafter Je
back with his firm. He, however, will
receive a retainer of 500 per month
from the Civic Sanitation Committee,
and will help out, when called upon,
with legal advice. He will also con-
duct any police court case that may
come up, but any jury trials or higher
court affairs will not come within the
sphere of his duties, unless specially
arranged for.
All this was decided upon at a

OPINIONS OF CITIZENS.

The general sentiment among the
business men of the community seems
to favor the central parking idea for
Kalakala avenue. Opinions differ re.
garding the size the parked strip
should be, but almost all believe that
the proposition is one which would
enhance the beauty of the popular
drive, and for this reason, if for no
other, it should be carried out. The
Star interviewed a number of proml-
nent citizens on the subject this
morning, and the following are among
the replies received:

Symposium on Parking
of KaIakaua Avenue

Editor Star: A week ago, nearly
the road department, by order of the
Board of Supervisors, finished the con
struction of a parkway on Kalakaua
avenue, Waikiki of Sunny South II
is only temporary one, 20 feet by
18O feet in size, and is intended tc
give the public an idea how the thor
oughfare would look with a system OF
such parkways established all along
the entire length of the same from
Pawaa to Kapiolani Park.
The supervisors, at a recent meet
ing, respectfully requested that the
newspapers give it as much publicity
as possible by inviting expression OF
opinion from the public relative to, the
advisability of ests blishing a system
of parkways along the said thorough
fare. With that end in view, may }
ask for your cooperation, and believe
me, faithfully yours,

J. G. HeHiques has won his appeal
from the circuit court of the third
circuit. Judge Matthewman, in which
jury found him guilty of common
nuisance in the first degree and he
was fined 500 and costs, for allowing
cattle to run at large upon the high,
way. An opinion of the Supreme
Court, by Judge De Bolt, sets aside
the verdict and judgment and grants
a new trial, on the ground that the

proposed, and there can be some as

one, but the strip as laid out by the

OLONA FIBER OF HAWAII MAY
BECOME AN IMPORTANT PRODUCT

in Hawaii, where it has been usel for
centuries in making rope of superior
tensile strength. When whaling was
a more important inlustry the Ha-
waiians furnished rope from this fiber
to that trade, and its tensile strength
was so great the ropes never broke.
Its ribbon-like form makes it difficult
to spin, but should the present expe-
riments prove satisfactory the new
product would find many uses.
The fiber, II produced by machinery
could be used in the paper currency
of the United States, where the great
est durability IS demanded, while
ropes of extreme tensile strength
would thus be available at a price
within reason.

the preference Of the Navy Depart
