II appeared to be the consensus Of
opinion that it would be better for all
concerned to endeavor to arrive at q
satisfactory basis through conference
than to attempt to take the matter
into the courts.
Under the present arrangement the
City and County stands ready to place
$2j, 900 towards the widening of the
street. There will yet remain about
five thousand dollars of the original
appropriation, which sum, in the opin.
ion of Murray and several other Super.
visors, could be devoted to paving the
street following its widening.
On a motion passed by the Board
the committee is authorized to accept
not less than $4,000 as a compromise
amount.
Four thousand and five hundred for
Pantheon corner, 5000 for mauka side
of Hotel street from Bethel to Nuuanu
street, $4,000 for Damon and Campbell
Estate and Empire corners, $4,000 for
Hotel street block from Bethel to Nuu.
anu (makai side), $3.50 for Mott-Smith
corner, $3.50 for Brewer Estate site,
$500 for Benson, Smith section, "A to-
tai of $4,000.
II was some weeks ago that the City
ldlHtTS IuSStu All OIulHdHtt WnltH
would compel property-owners within
prescribed downtown district to lay
n cement sidewalk In front of their
respective premises. This ordinance
has been totally ignored by number
of owners of land lying swithin the
business section. The Supervisors
have now by resolution requested
City Engineer Whitehouse to draw up
plans and specifications and establish
grades for a sidewalk to be laid along
that muddy bog lying on Bethel
street between Hotel and King.
II appears that the Kaimuki delega'
ton favoring the erection of a small
rest-hOuse at the intersection of Wal
nlao road and Eighth avenue failed to
follow the mandate of the Board as
regards the installation of seats with.
I'm the structure. A complaint has
reached the City fathers that the
plans submitted to the Board at re.
cent meeting have not been followed
TO the letter. Several Supervisors ia.
vor a halt being called in the work
until the rest-house advocates decide
to obey the instructions OF the Board.
Supervisor Murray has come for.
ward with a complaint anent the dust
that is permitted to exist along the
right.of,way over which Rapid Transit
cars pass.
With but perhaps one exception, tho
Cl,y and County Board of Supervisors
will report fayorably upon the project
of accepting a compromise in the
matter of adjusting the betterments
as planned by the special committee,
Supervisor Low is still of a mind
that the Hotel street widening propo
sition should be dropped until a more
opportune time. On the other hand
IL is contended that with gradually
stlifenng real estate market the city
government can Ill afford to daily
