regulation measure may be rushed

of the original with some of the
faulty, Objectionable sections revised
or sctricken out. 49,. III.
The amended, or substitute bill was
to go on second reading this after
noon. AS it bears the approval of

IL was learned today that this bill
does not carry the drastic provision

render aid to persons his car has in

more than ten years for its infringe

Over Many Obstacles

Construction work has been started
at Koko Head on the largest wireless
station in the world. The great sta
ton will be completed In few
months by the Marconi Wireless Com
pany and will be part of the chain of
stations that will flash, day and
night, news all the way around the
world
Although handicapped to some ex-

5cnus sfl2f1ibl6 asne1lnt nfxn<nt teFitsl has
been moved to the new site, and fifty
men are now engaged in the pre-
liminary building work.
The side of the new wireless sta
ton is on the broad plain which
slopes down toward the sea from the
base of Koko Crater. The land has
been leased from the Bishop Estate
by the Marconi company for period
Of fifty years, and the station, when
completed, will become practically
model village according to the plans
which have been drawn up. The work
which is now going on is under the
direction of N. H. Slaughter, con-
structing engineer, who has been with
the Marconi company for number
of years and who was sent here by
that corporation to have full charge
of the work. At present, all material
which is used in the preliminary con-
struction work has to be hauled in
drays from the city over the toughest
of roads, and it is on account of this
that the work is progressing slowly.
Some material, however, has been
taken to the new station by boat, and
then landed In lighters. The camp,
as it now stands, consists of sleeping

SENATE AGREES ON 100000 K
FORHAWAIPS FAIR EXHIBIT

One hundred thousand dollars, just
half what was originally called for, is
the sum of money the senate agreed
on today to be used for exhibition
purposes at the San Francisco 1915
Worlds Fair.
After the promotion committee has
cut off $4,000, leaving the amount to
be appropriated $150,0C0, Senator
Metzger moved this morning when the
bill came up for final reading that it
be amended and that 100000 be writ
ten in the bill as the sum of the ap-
preparation for Haaii's part in the ex-
position.
He made this motion after Senator
renhallow had unsucCpssfuly moved
to have action deferred.
"T am very much in favor OF a good
display a the fair" announced Sena-
tor Metzger. But it seems to me
that 100000 is sufficient, and | am
sure it is all the territory can afford
Senator Rice seconded the motion.
and mentioned the difficult time the
ways and means committee is having
making the expenses Of government
correspond with the revenues.
AT this time, when our chief reve-
nue. is threatened. and when there are
SO many crying needs in the territory,
we can little afford to set aside more
than 100000 for such an appropria-
lion. | believe that Hawaii should be
we'll represented at the fair, but $780,
600 is all We should appropriate"
The motion of Senator Metzger car
ried, and the bill now goes to the
house for consideration there.

BILL
NSIREET WORk
IS INTRODUCED
Senator Judd Supplements I'M
portant Improvement Meas
llre with Plan tor
Operation

/ n = s
Suprl lpeutipg the legislative work
which 7Was commence last week Dy
Senh6or Judd for the improving of
street conditions in Honolulu. the
same solon introduced q bill In the
senate this morning which carries out
the plan of his first bill by specifying
the manner in which money for the
widening or opening, or otherwise i'm
proving thoroughfares In Honolulu
made may be raised.
This bill is taken from the act now
in force in Denver, and has been
heartily endorsed by those who are in
terested in improving the health con-
ditions of the city and making it a
city beautiful Becoming enacted. res
idents in district will not find 1t inn
possible to pave or curb or widen the
streets bordering on their land. but
may have the improvements desired
brought about, the cost of which Is to
be borne by the property-holders benz
efited.
Bonds for the work may be issued
by the supervisors, which are to be
ultimately discharged by assessments.
The new bill goes into the financial
phase of the improvements thorough
ly, an dcompletely carries out the
scheme embodied in Senator Judd's
first measure, which has been char
actet tzed by DR.. Pratt Of the terri
toria hoard of health as the most inn
porant piece of legislation before the
sefate.
Fn section four of the bill it-is pro-
fded that If so per cent of the prop
'eFty owners of an area designated by
them as a proposed district for as
sessment, sign petition calling for
the particular improvements desired,
the supervisors are directed to cause
the work to be done. The procedure
for the supervisors to follow in award
inf contracts for such work is also
carefully set out
In order not to make the assess
ment for this work hardship on
any owners, the bill stipulates that
in place of paying their entire pro
rata, the sum may be paid In INSTALL
ments, the balance remaining due to
bear interest. In case of election to
pay the assessment in installments,
the payments are to be made in not
less than five nor more than ten in
stallments, and the unpaid principal
is to bear per cent annual inter-
est. Section II provides for the
bonds. 1t is recited there that If
the entire cost of improvements are
not paid on the letting of the con-
tract for the work, the amount re-
quired for immediate use to pay the
contract price is to be secured. by
a bond issue of sufficient district i'm
provement bonds of Honolulu to
raise the needed amount.
In speaking of this stipulation, Sena-
tor Judd stated that he wished to
emphasize that the bonds so issued
we're not city and county liabilities,
but were issued on the property of
the district seeking the improvements.
The paying off of these bonds is to
be done as the instalments come to
the hands of the treasurer. When
ever sufficient money is on hand to-
pay off set of these bonds, the fact
is to be advertised, and after that time
they will not bear interest. Prior to
that time they are to bear 6 per
cent interest .-.-.-
