nation to acting mayor L. G. Dalton,

Produce Him in Court--
Don't Think He Skipped"

delay as possible.
Indications are that the bonding

ed over Cheesequage creek at Nor
gan Station. The Board of Free
holders at It's adjourned meeting
yesterday afternoon decided upon
this make, and the contract for the
erection OF such a bridge was award
ed to the Oswego Bridge Company,
OF Oswego, New York. The bid OF
this company for the erection OF
the bridge was the lowest. 1t being
$43,250. The bids for the construc-
ton of the bridge were received by
the freeholders week ago. TheJ
were referred to the board for con-
sideration, as the members had not
determined what kind Of bridge
they wanted to place over the creek.
The bids of the several contrac-
tors were gone over with the result
that they decided the estimate of the
Oswego company was the lowest.
The company will enter into con-
tract at once with the board for the
erection OF the bridge, and the work
viii soon begin.
The present bridge evc- the creek
has been inadequate fUr some time,
The county has had considerable
trouble with 1t, especially during the
busy time. The freeholders decided
some time ago to replace the present
bridge. The Oswego Company is q
large concern with Offices in Phila-
Ideiphta.

By resolution the board gave per-
mission to the Susquehanna Coal
Company to put in siding from the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to the land of Asbury and
James Fountain in Madison town

of the agreement, shall replace tgi
road in the same condition as it was

improvements in Equipment
and Changes in Stats
Announced. .

The College of Hawaii begins its
fifth year today at the new location
in Manoa valley. During the summer
the buildings formerly occupied by the
college on Beretania street have been
moved to the new location and will
provide accommodations for the
chemistry department and the shops
of the engineering classes. All other
work will be carried on in the new
building recently erected.
While there will be only few new
lines of work added this year, the
main advantages that will be enjoyed
by those who attend the college will
be the increased facilities provided in
the already established lines of work
by the larger and more commodious
rooms and the freedom from dust and
noise.
1t is the desire of President Gilmore
that the public at large shall avail
themselves of all the facilities afford
ed by the college as they are open to
the use of any. person or persons who
desire to use them.
Punahou also begins its fall term
today. 1t promises to be a successful
one both from an educational and a
financial standpoint One hundred
and twenty-five new students have
been added to the already large num-
Der that will return as regular STU

The appointment of all certified

that time there have been a few
transfers and appointments to such
places as could not be filled at the
regular meeting of the department.
Within the last few days there have
been. several designations which have
come to. the department entirely too
late to give ample time for filling such
ivacancies; however, additional teach.

that the work of the public schools

FISHER HEARING
CONTINUED from Page u

that he thought great number would
take advantage of the chance to get
the cane lands. He thought very lit
tie discretion need be exercised in
granting homesteads, but if any such
is exercised, he said, it should be in
favor Of Notwithstanding or Latin
peoples. .. =.
Mr.. Ashford, asked as to hsw to
get American homesteaders here, de.
clared his opinion that If sufficient
advertisement were given the opening
of homesteads, Hawaii could get 755
homesteaders here to take up SO acres
each. making up the $4,000 acres
available. s=. Il
Secretary Fisher then questioned
Ashford further as to how to get this
result, asking him just for "construc-
tive suggestion" on definite methods
to make demonstrating effective.
Ashford thought a number of peo-
pie on the mainland could seLd
agents here and that the settlement
association idea might be workable.
81 contend that the association is all
excellent idea and should be encour-
aged" he said. There is no such
rush of individual applicants as to
prevent having land assigned 70 a
colony" r..
Secretary Fisher then asked how
Mr.. Ashford would assure the taking
up of the land by mainland emigrants.
Mr.. Ashford said he did not consider
that the birth is not SO important
as bona fide settlers, and further mat
a large sprinkling of Americans would
be assured. He would not exclude The
Hawaiians in any case.
Mr.. Fisher then took up further his
line of investigation into the possibil-
tiles of assuring American homestead
ing. III
Those are really the only two
things we can insist on-residence and
cultivation, aren't they?" he asked, and
Mr.. Ashford assented. The Secretary
then asked if these two requirements
would not, exclude most of the pres
ent holders of land. Mr.. Ashford said
he wasn't prepared to- admit this, GER
tainly so far as the other islands are
concerned.
MIR. Fisher then asked how Ashford
would regulate the prices paid to
+homesteaders for cane, and if compe-
.tition by the mills would become a
fact. Ashford said that in a numbe.
of places the lands would be with
in marketable distance of several
mills. A discussion of the Waiakea
situation then ensued, Mr.. Ashford
pointing out that here several mills
are available and saying they would
compete for cane.
In response to other questions, Mr.
Ashford said he thought that the
mills would continue to compete or
that capital would be available to
build others in case they did not
Later, however, he expressed a doubt
