The Marketing Superintendent
Comes Back on Resolution
to Probe Dept. Work

Marketing Supt. S. T. Starrett

to the implied charges made by Rep
resentative Tayares in the house Ia
wares introduced a resolution yester-
day calling on Starrett for complete
explanation of his reasons and au-
thority for charging 5 per cent COM
mission to farmers for handling their
produce in the public markets.
He asserted private merchants in
Honolulu will handle the same goods
for a 2 per cent charge. and believed
moreover that the market superintend-
ent had no authority for making any
charge at all.
Starrett, in communication to the
house this morning, cites section of
act 123 Of the laws of 1911 and quotes:
1t 1.-The marketing diyision) may
charge a reasonable commission on
amounts realized from sales of prod
uce made byit or through its agency;
all moneys so received as commits
sions shall be paid into the territorial
treasury, and all such moneys are
hereby appropriated for the use of
the said board"
He added that he believed the per
cent commission is a reasonable one
and that 10 and even 15 per cent is
charged by commission merchants on
the mainland on perishable goods.

RAILROAD JOIN 5
Fight AGAINST
IENENENTS

The war on the tenements. which
was begun some time ago by the
board Oh health and various improve
been actively resumed. this time by
the Oahu Railroad & Land Company.
Within two weeks the block OF tene-
ments running south from the Palama
Settlement on the makai side of King
street, which are owned by the COM
2any, will have been torn down.
The block of tenements in question
have been standing ever since the
time of the Chinatown fire in 1909
At this time the land on which they
are now located was owned by the
railroad, and was leased to the Cross
Brothers, who Immediately set about
erecting the buildings, which were
rented out to Japanese and Chinese
for dwellings and stores. A few years
later, the lease was taken over by
the railroad, making it the sole owner
of both the land an dthe buildings.
On account of their long standing,
the buildings, which are two-storied
frame affairs, have become SO dilapi-
dated that 1t was thought best by the
company to make way with them en-
trey, Six months ago, block of tene
ments which was also owned and con-
trolled by the company, was torn
down
The company reached the conclus-
ion that it would forever go out of
the tenement business, and therefore
h. in hO piIr
a month to move The place is now
being rapidly vacated and it is thought
that within a week and half work
can be commenced in tearing down
the structures.
The land on which the tenements
are now located forms a part of a
largastract now owned by the railroad
company The entire portion fronts
on King street, south of the PalanIa
Settlement grounds, and extends in
that direction for distance of about
one and a half regulation city mlocks.
The land. it is said, is valued at from
seventy-five cents to one dollar per
square foot. According to Fred C.
Smith, general passenger agent for
the 0. r. & L., the land on which the
tenements are now located will be
turned over to the temporary use of
the Palama Settlement as play
ground until such a time as the com
pany decides to lease the land or
build upon it. The makai half Of the
land has been used. for some years
past bv tho settlement both as play
ground for the children and as loca-
ton for IN office building and for a
location Of residence for one of the
workers and his family. 1

AT WORK
FOR A CITY
HALL

That the Bourbons are hard at work
TO push through the legislature an
ar preparation sufficient to provide
Honolulu with an up-to-date city hall,
is the latest news to leak out semi
officially from the solons in the Pal
ace. 1t is reported that the mayor,
his secretary. William Miles. and 9TH
ers of the Democratic cohorts, have
been at work lobbying for measure
that will carry sum approximately
of $15O,O0o.
A bill of this nature, calling for
$3.50 10000 appropriation was fntroduc-
ed in the house during the early days
of the session. 1t was referred to the
finance committee and is likely to re-
main buried there for the next forty
days, say members of that body.
Representative Clarence Cooke stat
ed today that the C. M. Cooke estate
is negotiating for the purchase OF the
Progress block, now owned by the
Japanese consulate, and that the deal
is pending the approval of the Japan
ese diet. Meantime, he stated, the
company has decided that If the deal
is consummated and the city wants
the block for a municipal building, it
will be leased to the city by the pur-
chasers.
But, according to the Bourbons who
have been working on the scheme, the
Progress block will not accommodate
all of the city departments and the aim
is to have them under on reoof, with
the idea of promoting the efficiency
of each office, and the saving OF much
time now lost To that end the pro-
moters of the plan have been making
cvertures to the owners of the Hodel
block. adjoining the Progress block
intending. if possible. to purchase that
also, combine the two into one. Ne
gotiations for the Model block have
but just commenced, through Willard
Brown, who is acting for the owners,
The hope is that the building can be
secured for between forty and fifty
thousand dollars.
In all. therefore, the sum needed by
the city to carry out this last plan
would be about ten thousand dollars
less than the $150,000 that would be
required to construct a new building
for the city's use.
According to Secretary Miles. the
bill asking for a city hall will be
followed by another and similar
measure showing in the senate at the
same time. The measure is assured,

Public Building Bill Passes with
Item of Appropriation for

STATUS or ENTIRE
PROJECT CONFUSED
District Attorney Breckons Ger
tain There Will Be Approx
mately Million Dollars for the
Structure After Ground Is All
Paid For

-Four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars were APPROPRIATED by the last
congress and approved by exPresi-
dent Taft in the closing moments of
Ills administration, for use in provid-
ing Honolulu with a federal building
On the so-called Mahuka site. This
information was received here this
morning in a cablegram from lhe
delegate to r. w. Shingle, which an
nouaccd Building passed. S450,000
for honolulu, Kuhio".
Considerable confusion exists here
as to the exact status of the appropri-
atlon and Just what the city and ter
ritory may expect in the way OF ap-
aropriatipns for the construction OF a
new postoffIce, customs house and
federal courts building. 1t is recalled
that the bill, introduced by the dele
gate last January. calling for an in
crease OF five hundred thousand dol
lars in the original measure. died a
natural death, and the belief Is that
the four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars referred to is provided for in
substitute bin introduced subse-
zqncntly end provides for that amount
only.
Mr.. Shingle believes that the terri,
tory will have approximately $1,000.
600 to spend on the construc-
lion of the building, but others
are not so optimistic. and fear
that the four hundred and fifty thou
sand mentioned in Cupid's dispatch
means that much out of the total orig
inal appropriation. which would leave
but slightly more than half a million
dollars for the building.
Some weeks ago the senate passed
the public buildings bill. containing a
provision for appropriation of $780,
900 for the federal building here. This
thinks w. r. Castle, is the measure
referred to by Cupid's dispatch.
w r. Breckons, u. s. district al
torney, who has been closer In touch
with the developments of the matter
in congress than anyone else in Ho-
nalulu, differs from the opinion ex-
pressed by Mr.. Castle and others. He
said this afternoon:
II believe that the appropriation OF
four hundred and fifty thousand dol
Jars leaves the original appropriation
of approximately one million untouch-
ed. and ready for the construction eN-
penses. Other information received
prior to the receipt of the cable this
morning, lead us to believe that there
will now be enough-with this last an
propriation--to pay all the awards
and leave us ABOUT $1,000 in the
clear"
