statements from those running this resort, the
holder of the license-a member of the police
department, by the way-was not the actual
manager Of the hall. He merely collected ten
per cent of the profits, while the place was run
by others. Aside from the manifest improperly
of members of the police department being pri-
vately interested in resorts that must be pa
trolled by the police it is certainly against good
public policy for one person to hold danee-hall
license and another person to operate the place.
No responsibility can be fixed under such condi-
tions. The supervisors should insist that IL
censes be issued only to those who are the real
operators of the resorts and the present case sug
gests very strongly that the supervisors either
do not know the facts, or that they do not care
particularly how the dance-halls are run.
One of the dancehall inspectors has told the
Star-Bulletin that the present system of super
vision is useless, that the dancehalls are not
properly guarded. The city supervisors have the
only real authority over these places, and the
control exercised by the inspectors is more APP
parent than actual.
Al woman who wished to run dance-hall told
the editor of this paper that it is we'll
that none but Democrats and friends of the po-
lice and certain influential supervisors need APP
ply for licenses Possibly this is not the case
but it illustrates powerfully the sentiment ere
ated by the present method of handling the IL
censes.
Deputy Attorney Weaver proposes to give the
mayor sole authority to issue licenses. BE sees
two advantages in this plan-that it will not re-
quire the time of the whole board to pass upon
applications, and that it will center responsible
ity in the mayor The first reason is valid; the
second is doubtful. Why it is doubtful is OBJ
vious to everyone who considers the present con-
dition of the may6ralty
An instance of body doing good administra-
tive work is the liquor commission. II dance
hall commission, selected with as much care as
the liquor commission, we're given the entire con-
troll Of public and semi-public dances, more
creiitable state of affairs might be attained

resenting the Playground Association.
Secondly, there seems to be con-
fusion as to identity. The Playground
Association is the institution in
charge Of the playground and was the
organization that made the appeal in
writing to the supervisors for their
assistance The Beretania Settlement
has no connection with the Play
ground Association other than a CO.
operative interest in the welfare OF
the neighborhood.
Thirdly, my verbal suggestion as to
the lease or purchase of the property
was simply this: That the City and
County either lease or buy the prop
ferty, retaining il in its own name and
allow the Playground Association to
carry on its very efficient service in
supervision and maintenance Such
combination of public and private
finance to serve the community would
be most efficient,

REOPEN THE PLAYGROUND HALTER

The Advertiser is quite right in suggesting,
as the Star-Bulletin did several days ago, that
the supervisors reopen the Beretania playground
matter and find out the exact status of the plau-
ground and what the Free Kindergarten and
Childrens Aid Association wishes the supervi-
sorS to do. There are several twists to the ques-
ton at issue, but the meat of the whole matter
= this: The Beretania playground is in danger
q being lost to the city and the board Of super
F'eors should not be inactive. The association
and the community feel that this recreation
field should be-maintained, and it ought to be
helped along by the city. AT the very least, the
city should join hands with Spencer Bowen and
the association in seeing that the field is kept for
the thousands Of children Of this crowded sec.
ton. The Bishop Estate is undoubtedly open
to 4 fair offer that will solve the problem.

DAEct.HALl LICENSES and THE MAYOR

There is no doubt that a change is needed
10 the handling of dancehall licenses by the city
and county, but it is an open question if Deputy
Attorney Viewers plan to centralize authority
in the mayor will help matters.
Dancehall licenses are now issued by the
board of supervisors, after considering appli-
cants and applications. The municipallycon-
trolled danee-hall has so far been anything but

largely to the fact that it is not really controlled

a clear way. The letter is as follows:
Honolulu, T. H., Sept 2. 1913.
Reverend IL p Judd, President
Oahu College Alumni Association
Honolulu, T. H.
Dear Sir:-Old School Hall at
Punahou has reached q condition
where something must be done, If
it is to be preserved for the fu-
ture. A detail report on its con-
dition was presented to the Trus-
tees of Oahu College at their Ju-
ly meeting, and, with but one ex-
ception, those present expressed
themselves strongly in favor of
the restoration and preservation
of the. building as the only r0
naming link connecting the Pun
ahou of the. present with that of
the past. BY vote Of the Trustees.
the buildings and grounds commit
tee were aauthorizedsIto do what
they deemed necessary for its
I preservation.
As the corporation has no funds
available for the purpose, it was
proposed by an enthusiastic mem
Der of the College Alumni to place
the matter before the Punahou
Alumni Association, as one in
which the Alumni ought to De in
terested. and in which the trus-
tees could well look to them for
financial support.
The weak points in the build
ing are ID the ceiling of the old
assembly room and the roof sup
ports, which have been riddled by
borer ants, and are in danger of
falling; ~ the wooden lintels
over the doors and windows,
which are threatened in the same
way; and go the wall on the
Waikiki side, which has long
shown signs of weakness.
The plan is to strengthen the
side walls by eighteen concrete
columns on the inside, so ar
ranged as to carry, the entire
weight of the floors. and roof, thus
relieving the walls of any strain
as well as reinforcing them; to
remove and rebuild the ceiling
and roof; and also to remove the
wooden extension on the mauka
end of the building, which is in
more or less disrepair, and re-
place the stairway in its original
position within the building.
After this work is done, we are
assured that the life of the build
ing will be indefinitely prolonged.
The contract for this work has
been let for $4,000, which we be-
lieve to be a reasonable figure.
AS the building will soon be need
ed for use, we are going ahead
with the work of restoration con-
fident that the Punahou alumni
wish the old school hall to be
preserved as a memorial of the
past and that they will not fail to
come TO our aid with the neces-
sary funds.
Yours very sincerely,
