At WORK
FOR A CITY
HALL

That the BouTbons are hard at work
TO push through the legislature an
! appropriation 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. II 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 $150,000
A bill of this nature, calling for a
$150,000O appropriation was introduc-
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
csc diet. Meantime. he stated, the
company has decided that If the deal
is consummated and the city wants
the block for a municipal building. II
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
cvert1res to the owners OF the Model
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 $4,000 that would be
required to construct new building
for the city's use.
According to Secretary Miles. the
bill asking for city hall will be
followed by another and similar
measure showing in the senate at the
same time The measure is assured
but the exact amount that will be
needed is still indefinite 1t is re
ported that the supervisors have been
discussing the matter in caucus. but
have reached no definite decision re.
garding the matter. The offer report.
ed to have been made by Clarence
Cooke has not, it is said, been received
officially by the city and county law
makers, but made informally to one
or two of the local municipal officials.

liner now in service in the Pacific.
Unlike the rooms found in the Ven
tura and the Sonoma, each suite, will
be provided with private bath. Both
fresh and salt water will be acces-
sible. r.
The six new rooms are to occupy a
position on the upper deck of the lin
Ter. The work is predicted can be done
without necessitating the withdrawal
of the vessel from her regular service
between San Francisco and Homo
lulu.
While an advance in rates will be
charged for this class of accommoda-
ton, the improvement is one that is
generally believed will meet with in
slant and popular favor with the tray-
cling public.
At the agency of G.. Brewer & Co.
this morning ITO passengers had been
booked for transportation to the coast
in the Sierra, leaving this port at noon
Saturday. The liner will carry full
cargo of island products.

NEW WESTMINSTER-One forced

quentine Alta, which has arrived from
Melbourne and is berthed at the
Fraser mills to take on a million and

Several years ago this four-master

out the shipping world by reason OF
the fact that she was known as the
ship without flag.
Originally flying the ensign of the
British mercantile service, she
changed ownership and was trans
ferred to Chilian registration. Some
time after this she was sent to Man
liza for the purpose of securing papers
under the Jurisdiction of the Stars

taken over by the United States.
The purpose of this move was TO

Sand CARRIER
MAY SAIL soon

Providing that the last few tons of
California sand, which are to be used
for making the huge concrete blocks
which will eventually form the bot
tom of Pearl Harbor drydock, can be
unloaded this afternoon from the col
lier Nero, that ship will be dispatched
for the Coast tomorrow morning. The
Nero brought 1850 tons of Coast sand
here a couple of weeks ago, and nearly
all of it has been transferred to the
big bins near the contractors wharf
at the drydock site. Keeping the Nero
in commission is an expensive under
taking for the government, and every
day that can be gained is many dol
lars saved, as the collier will have to
make number of trips between here
and California to secure the vast
amount of sharp sand needed in the
concrete mixing
Change Command March 10
March 10 is the date set by Admiral
Cowles for the transfer of command
of the naval station to Admiral Moore
The ceremony, which consists of the
lowering of one two-starred blue flag

saluted with the proper number of
guns, will take place at the naval sta
ton at 10 a. m, the full marine guard
and band being turned out
Admiral Cowles was to have eff
fected the transfer, of command last
month, and sailed for the Coast to as
sumo command of the aPcific fleet,
but his orders were held up by cable
instructions from the navy depart
ment. He now plans to sail on the
10th. 1t will depend on the Mexican
situation whether he takes over the
fleet at once, for when last heard from
Admiral Switzerland was at Manzanil-
10, with the flagship California, and
as long as trouble threatens he will
probably be undisturbed.
