sTREET.CAR SERVICE
Ihis nom q washington newspaper:

This from q Washington newspaper:
eThe public utilities commissioners will have
nnbounded public support in their endeavor to
effect the installation of street railway system
ID the District which will give comfortable and
safe accommodations to all car-users. As a
means to this end stands their order to prohibit
the carrying Of passengers ON the running
boards and the platforms Of cars and the stop
ping of cars for more passengers after the full
car sign is displayed This is working to the
point of sno-seatno-fare' regulation, against
which, of course, the companies will always be
disposed to interpose vigorous opposition, but
that some such system of carrying the public
win ultimately be attained is not to be doubted.
How this is to be accomplished cannot now be
told, but it may be regarded as assured that uti-
mately there will be enough ears on the lines in
this city to carry all passengers without crowd
ing and possibly all without standing in the
aisles
ut is 1nathematically assured that reasonable
profits can be made by street-car companies
without packing their cars to the doors. The old
dictum that the straps make the dividends is
not acceptable

statements from those running this resort, the
holder of the licenses 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 dance-hall
license and another person to operate the place.
No responsibility can be fixed under such cond-
TONS The supervisors should insist that Ii
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 danee-halls 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.
A woman who wished to run adance-hall told
the editor of this paper that it is misunderstood
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
mayer sole authority to issue licenses. He sees
two advantages in this plan--that it will not re-
quire the time of the whole board to pass upon
applications, and that twill center responsible
Lity in the mayor. The first reason is valid; the
second is doubtful Why it is doubtful is OBJ.
yious to everyone who considers the present con-
dition Of the maycralty.
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, were given the entire con-
troll of public and semi-publc dances, a more
creditable state of affairs might be attained.

resenting the Playground Association.
Secondly, there seems 20 be con-
fusion as to identity. The Playground
Association is the institution in
charge of the playground ard 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
erty, retaining it in its own name and
allow the Playground Association to
carry on its very efficient service in
supervision and maintenance. Such a
combination of public and private
finance to serve the community would
be most efficient
Thanking you for the opportunity
of correcting this Misunderstanding.

REOPEN THE PLAYGROUND HALTER

The Advertiser is quite right in suggesting
a. the Star-Bulletin did several days ago, that
the supervisors reopen the Beretania playground
natter and find out the exact status of the play
1tound and what the Free Kindergarten and
-1iIdrens Aid Association wishes the superyi
'Qrs to do. There are several twists to the ques
ton at issue, but the meat Of the whole matter
q this: The Beretania playground is in danger
a being lost to the city and the board Of super
I'eors should not be inactive The association
and the community feel that this recreation
''eld 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
tie association in seeing that the field is kept fol
the thousands Of children of this crowded sec
ton. The Bishop Estate is undoubtedly open
% fair offer that will solve the problem.

BARCE.HlLl LICENSES and THE MAYOR

There is no doubt that change is needed
in the handling of dance-hall 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
Dance-hall licenses are now issued by the
board Of supervisors, after considering appli-
cants and applications. The municipally-con-
tfolled dancehall has so far been anything but
q conspicuous success in Honolulu, due very
largely TO the fact that it is not really controlled

Al quarrel among the holders of the Kukui
dance-hall license not long ago was carried up
to the supervisors. At that time, according to

borer ants, and are ii danger of
failing; ~ the wooden lintels
over the doors and windows,
which are threatened IN the same
ways and $50 the wall on the

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

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

been let for $4,000, which we be-
