CITY MARKET IS
NOW CERTAINTY;
HAVE Site READY
Municipal Commission Closes
Lease for Rink and Will
Use It Soon.
LOOP QUESTION IS UP
Company Will Not Double-Track
Ninth Avenue and Says II Has
Chosen Only Logical Point.

The city market ordinance, which
has been thrashed out time and again.
was finally passed at the meeting Of
the municipal commission held yester-
day afternoon and a contract leasing
the skating rink from A j. Endter
was ratified. This means that the city
market is at last a reality and will
soon be placed in operation. The mar
ket will be modelled somewhat after
the Des Moines market which has been
so successful and will provide a place
where dealers in farm produce can dis
pose OF their goods.
REFUSE TO DOUBLE TRACK.
A considerable portion Of the meet
ing was spent in listening to and con-
sidering the objections Of DR.. J. R. HoI-
lowbush. Louis Schmidt and Robert
Wagner, who complained that the pro-
posed switch on the Long View line
on Ninth avenue between Twenty-third
and Twenty-fourth streets would leave
too narrow a passage way for vehicles
on either side of the avenue and that
Il would be more expedient IL the rail-
way company laid double tracks from
Twenty-frst 10 Twenty-fifth street ].
G. Huntoon, representing the Tri-city
Railway company, declared that the
company would not lay double tracks
and that the proposed place was the
only one to place a switch If it was to
better the time made by the Long View
line.
SERVICE CAUSE OF COMPLAINT.
The irregularity OF service has been
the subject OF many complaints and the
company is making an endeavor TO
remedy this defect in service by short
ening the distance the cars will have
TO go in their limited time. The mat
ter was laid over until a later date
and after the council meeting the mem
bers OF the council we're taken to the
ground 10 look over the situation. Def
mite action will be taken later. In the
meantime the work on the switch has
been stopped.
ADOPT TWO WATERWAYS.
The two ordinances providing for
the laying OF water mains scheduled
10 come before the meeting were
adopted unanimously. The first pro-
yides for water mains from Thirtieth
10 Thirty-ffth street and Fourteenth
70 Eighteenth avenue. The second
provides water mains from Thirty-sev.

companies are anxious to do the work
and the bids were close. Sleight, Good
manson & Co., of Moline, offered to
do the work for SIS day and SO ad-
ditional for an assistant or for $3.50
outright. Mahoney, Jackson & Co.
asked SIS 6. day and $40 for an assist
ant. Clayton Picket, who is attempting
to get like contract from Moline, Of
fered TO do the work for Rock Island
at SIS a day and said that his price
would be lower should be get the work
for Moline at the same time. The Ed.
win A. Pratt Auditing company asked
$500 for the work. The meeting al.
journed until tomorrow at 8 o'clock
when the matters which were laid on
the table will be taken up and dis
cussed.

drafted by Commissioner NJ. T. Rud
gren was brought before the commits
sioners for formal consideration. Il

ton. The ordinance was considered
informally last week and passed upoI
favoraDly by the other commissioners

ELECTRIC IRON IS
CAUSE OF ABLAzE
American Regaha Company
Plant in Carse Building
Damaged.
LOSS MAY REACH $1,000
Concern Is Moving Into New Quar-
tiers on Third Floor and Will
Continue Its Operations.

An electric iron, ammunition for
which there was a superabundance
last night, set fire to a table and the
flooring of the American Regalia COM
pany workshop in the Carse building
at 1517h Second avenue last night
at 10 o'clock and caused a damage
which will amount to nearly 1000.
The blaze was discovered by a wo-
man who saw 1t from her home and
when the department arrived on the
scene, was just eating its way into
some cloth material which was in
process of panufacture into regalia.
1t was necessary to lay line of hose
in order to successfully fight the
flames and the damage by water was
considerable. The gold laces and
other more valuable materials used
by the firm in the manufacture of re-
gala, was sheltered in the vault and
the only damage to it will be from
smoke. Little of it, though, will be
rendered valueless.
HAS NEW AND SPACIOUS QUARTERS
The regalia company, housed on
the second HOOr OF the DullQlnS anu
managed by Theodore Eichelsdoerfer,
will continue it's operation tomorrow
morning. 1t is being moved to the
third floor of the building where
spacious quarters have been leased.
Insurance covers the loss and it will
be adjusted at once.
The workmen in the shop who used
the iron yesterday, state that they
turned off the Juice" before going
home. In fact, several of them are
certain that they turned the switch
Possibly they did, with the result that
someone, thinking that he was turn
ing it off, turned on the power. A
cloth covered the table upon which
the iron rested. When hole had
been scared through the table, the
iron fell to the floor and burned g
hole in it. The discovery of the fire
was timely as a few minutes more
would have enveloped the entire
building in flames.

therefore most desirable in the case of
burns that parents should know what
and above all what MOTTO do while
waiting for the doctor to come.
The first thing is to fight shock with
all the resources at command, because
shock is usually the immediate cause
of death. Too often shock is aggravat-
ed rather than helped by the treatment
1t receives.
Valuable time is wasted and I'M
necessary agony caused in trying to
remove the clothing; then various ap-
plications Of or or of whatever else
the distracted bystanders may have
heard was good for burns are made
until by the time the doctor arrives
irremediable mischief is done.
Do not waste time in any such way,
but Immediately prepare a warm salt
water bath and gently place the child
in it, clothes and all. If the clothes
are much burned the warm water will
make them easier to remove, and the
child can be kept in the bath until the
pulse and the temperature show that a
T6dCIlOn IEOul Tue SuOCh has TAKEN
place. 1t will often be necessary for
some strong and careful person to
kneel and hold the patient in the best
position.
Even after the child has been placed
in bed with the proper dressings the
bath should be given again if there are
indications that shock is returning
Always remember that speed is essen
tIal. Even the slightest delay is dan
gerous.
Almost every one believes that in the
case of burns water is always harm
full and oil always helpful. You will
be wise to reverse the rule and learn it
by heart. In case of burns fill the
bath with warm water, adding salt in
the proportion of a teaspoonful to a
pint of water, and hold the child in it,
clothes and all, until the doctor ar
rives.-Youth's Companion.

ENGINES CAUSE OF SHORTAGE.
J. z. Larkin complained to the ad-
ministration that at certain times he is
unable TO get water, or at best, a very
small stream, and attributed this to
the taking of water from the water
main by the engines in the Rock Is
land yards. The matter was laid over
and Commissioner Jonas Bear will
look into the matter. A C. Hall who
resides on Twenty-eighth street be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth ave

placed on the corner OF Twenty-eighth
street and Sixteenth avenue. Com
missioner r. r. Reynolds offered to
take charge of the matter.

MAYOR TO LEAD
SIDEWALK BALL
Special Celebration for New
Years Eve win Be a
Great Affair.

Mayor Fern wrote letter to the
special New Year Eve celebration
committee of the merchants associa'
tion yesterday, to the effect that he
would join in the festivities on New
Year 8 Eve at Bishop Square and do
all he could to make the affair sue
cess.
The committees chairman, Julius
Unger, takes this statement by His
Honor to mean that he will lead the
grand march for the sidewalk ball as
planned, and thus have the distinction
of starting Off the first Grand New
Years Eve Annual Mayor = Ball which
this, OF any other city, has ever seen
danced on a cement sidewalk in the
open air, especially in the middle OF
winter
Something of the same plan of illu-
mination will be followed on New
Years Eve as was done on Christmas
Eve, only more 80. Besides the strings
of lights woven through the trees and
along Bishop street, it is probable that
there will be "A great searchlight to
write with in the sky and on the back
ground of green hills.
And another thing which the mem
bers of the committee are giving out
in confdenee--is the advice that all
the ladies who attend the ball will
kindly wear white dresses; it will take
better in iiashlight photograph, also
il will accentuate the summer weather
of midwinter in Honolulu.
Altogether things are booming along
in fine shape for great night on De-
eember 81, the last day of the old year,
and the chances are that the celebra'
tion will be as much of a success as
that of Christmas Eve, and then some.
The Hawaiian band, under the
leadership of Captain Berger, and the
famous First Infantry Band will play
in Bishop Square, first the Hawaiian
band and then the First Infantry Band.
The music will only end at midnight,
when the screech of whistles aud the
blowing of horns will announce that
1913 has come to stay with us for just
one year

Particularly worthy of comment was
the excellent manner in which the Boy
Scouts assisted. The full force Of the
Honolulu Scouts was out, some forty
in all. and much of the smoothness with
which the event was held was due to
the excellent work of the disciplined
youths in preserving the lines, handling
the children up to the time when they
filed before the tree, keeping back the
sometimes too eager spectators and IN
"spotting' repeaters. The boys be.
haved like veterans, jumped at the word
of command to carry out orders and
/ generally demonstrated their usefulness
1t was a pleasure to see the youngsters
mt work and general praise was heard
of them during the morning.
