use every opportunity to give him

of giving him toys, told him he could
carry out one of his cherished plans.

more things now than you can break

Well, Willie, I'm glad there's one.

Improvement Clubs Favor and
Are Opposed to New Street
Betterment Plan

Heartily commencing the supervis-
ors for their action in creating and
providing for a bureau of grades,
which bureau is for the purpose Of
having grade maps made Of all the
streets OF the city, encouraging them
70 proceed under the frontage laws
wherever possible, and challenging the
logic and statements of facts contain
ed In a resolution of the Kahili Inn
provement committee, which went on
record as disappearing Of the present
application Of the frontage tax stat
Rutes in the district, representatives of
the Central Improvement Club appear
ed last evening before the board of
supervisors and made short speeches.
BY coincidence they came at the
same time that the first petition by
property holders for street improve
ments under the frontage tax law was
received, which acted as q powerful
setoff to the resolution of the Kalihi
Improvement Club. The different
speakers referred to both of these in.
struments, and as q rule they con-
tended that the resolution was not
representative of the sentiment of the
district. The residents asking street
improvements live in Nuuanu valley,
and the improvements they ask were
estimated to cost $635S, and are de-
scribed as ain the district Of Puiwa
and Laimi on the eastern side of NJ
uanu street, consisting of Puiwa road
as to 745 feet, Park road 1410 feet
and Lai1ni road 100. feet, making a
total length of street to be improved.
2275 feet" This is the first instance
where property owners have come In
voluntarily and asked for improve
ments under act 131.
The resolution from the Ka1ihi I'm
proyement Club, which was published
in the Star Bulletin yesterday, argued
that it would be inequitable to apply
the law in that district at this time;
that the property was not of sufficient
value to stand the improvement as,
sessment. ....-. -~s. ...s
The speakers from the Central I'M
proyement committee, an .organi-
zation mainly made up of representa-
tiyes of district clubs, were Clarence
w. Ashford, d. L. Wilmington, D. C..
Swain, for the merchants association,
Senator Albert F. Judd. r. R. Reid
ford. G.. II. Gere and Professor An
drews of the College of Hawaii.
Mr.. Ashford introduced the speak.
ers. He also made a short address
himself. Mr.. Wilmington declared
that the scheme Tor improvements
contained in the two frontage tax
statutes was now In operation over

the entire country, and that there is.
no reason why 1t can not meet here
with the same success 1t has else
where. He said that by working un-
der the laws it would give the super
visors q greater degree of power and
a greater responsibility. He made q
point of the reliability Of the Hawaiian
voter, and took issue with q statement
In the resolution of the Kalihi I'm

more money had been spent In the

fourth.

am not woman suffragist myself
but want to say that when women
get interested, look out! They are in
terested in th;s, and they are going to
demand better roads - -. ~
Mr. Gere began his remarks by de-
claring that the supervisors had made
a good start by appropriating $4,000
for a bureau to get grades fixed. -
Nothing can be DONE" he said,
until this data and cost estimates are
prepared. This planning can't be done
In piecemeal. In these grade maps
sidewalk lines, water pipes, sanitary
sewers, ETC., must be provided for.
The city is entitled to have plans so
prepared that the most efficiency and
economy may be enjoyed. The first
thing to be planned IS not the artistic,
but the practical side. We need big
plans and definite ones that can be
taken up bit by bit."e~~
Senator Judd also commended the
supervisors in the creation of the bu-
reau. He said they were approaching
the problem from the right standpoint.
And speaking of the suggestion Of
making big bond issue for street
work, he observed that the right to
issue bonds should be reserved for
other needs, cases such as cannot be
cared for under the frontage statutes.
I'm the latter part of 1914 you are
going to have to put in a sanitary
sewer system, which will need bonds.
Again the city and county needs a
dignified home, and a bond issue for
such a building will be needed"
Supervisor NJ Petrie replied to the
speakers. He said that the board was
anxious to do all it could under the
statutes. and he thanked the speakers
for their advice.
