a COOP ROADS SUGGESTIONS.

Editor Honolulu Star-BuIIetin,
Sir:-I am. IN perfect. accord with
all that was said and done by every
body taking part in the late inter-
island civic convention. and the all
absorbing, general interest question
of good roads was the ne plus ultra
of the whole conclaye.
A heading in the Star Bulletin Of
Monday read Roads Topic That In
terests the Engineers" 1t seems 20
me that such a topic should interest
almost every person within the boun-
daries of Hawaii, whether he or she
owns an automobile or not Then
again it was stated that there was
the foundation of a good roads po-
Icy for next year Why for mex.
year? Why for not right now? Now
is the time TO do things while the
fever is on.
If I am not mistaken, one of the
engineers, speaking at the conven-
ton. said that we did not know how.
to build roads in Hawaii; that we
had not yet learned the secret of road
budding, the art of building q road
that would last. Possibly so, but !
should like to refer the citizens of
this city to the old Waialae road.
There was never before, and has not
been since, a piece Of road built in
this territory that has stood the trail
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-09-26

fic and travel that that road has. The
heaviest kind OF hauling has been go
ing over 1t for the last eight years,
and it Is but recently that 1t has been
put in the hands of the repairers. !
do not know how the road was built
nor who built il, but that can be very
easily ascertained. | do know. how
ever. that il was built under contract
and was considered one Of the cheap
est pieces OF work the counts govern
ment ever obtained There does not
seem to be any need to send employees
to the coast to study up on road
building. It is a needless expense.
] know that there has so far been no
mention of sending parties to the
coast for that purpose, but it would
not be long before somebody win
want to take jaunt to the main
land. and it is possible that that lit
tie stunt would be pulled On the pub
lie. If every road in Hawaii is built
as good as was the old Waialae road,
and holds up as well under similar
usage there should be no kick from
the public.
The Waialae road has been under
repairs for some time now. and much
money has been spent on 1t, but this
win all be thrown away If the road
is not given dressing of oil This,
1t is stated, is too expensive, or, at
least, there is no money to do the
work with. Such being the case, !
can guarantee that the first heavy
rains Of the coming winter win wash
all the new work into the cutters.
and it will be like washing so much
money along with it.
The only way the road can be saw
ed is with oil. 1t is the city's only
thoroughfare leading to the east end
of the island, and should be put in
the best condition Of any road tn Ha.
wall.

ENFORCING EEE TRAFFIC RULES

-
Deputy City Attorney Weaver is framing
what appears to be a good traffic ordinance.
Among its best features is the provision carry
ing Imprisonment and loss Of ehauffeur's license
ppon conviction OF third offense
Unless the ordinance is going to be enforced
rigidly and impartially, it should not be passed,
and IN passing il, the board Of supervisors should
zee that the police department is given every
support in holding chauffeurs TO strict obsery-
ance Of the regulations
a good deal has been said recently regarding
the rights Of Automobiles and the claim has
been set mp that some of those rights were being
endangered. Now is the time for the chauffeurs
and drivers to make thesnselves heard and their
desires with regard to this new ordinance knoun
II they have any suggestions to make they
should ask the supervisors for public hearing,
either with the hoard or with the proper com
mittee. The ordinance as it finally passes
should be fair to the important auto traffic Of
the city and at the same time furnish full sal To-
guards to the rest-the majority Of the travel
ling public If the automobilists viii cooperate
with the city officials in seeing that wise prac
ticable and just ordinance is passed. the enforce
nlent 0f traffic rules viii be made much easier.
Then let the supervisors cooperate with the
police department in the enforcement Of the law,
and Honolulu will have made big stride for
ward toward remedyipg what is now Disgrace

THE CAMPAIGN FOR OCEAN TRADE

Honplplu's plans for developing the port lend
special interest to a resume Of shipping activity
and a forecast for the future made by the New
York Times Annalist Never before has there
been such activity in building ships it is stated.
Ocean freighting seems to be on the threshold
Of great expansion, in which one stimulating
Influence is the Panama Canal The tons gross
under construction in the United Kingdom at
the end Of March this year was greater than all
previous totals ever recorded by Lloyd's Regis
ter since that famous society was founded. It
exceeded the tonnage for March, 1912, by 377,
600 tons, and the tonnage for June, 1909, BY l.
$4,000.
Outside British yards, S92 vessels, of ,34s,-
900 gross TONS were under construction on
March 81 Of this year Germany led the list
with SO vessels, of 5S4 ALP gross tonnage This
country came next with IS ships of 22S 159 gross
tonnage In the United Kingdom on June 80
this year there were SAB vessels under construc-
ton, with gross tonnage of ,003, 241. OF this
tonnage, 996, O24 was for steam craft
American ship.builders never have been so
hIsy, or their yards so crowded. The years to-
tai output probably will break all previous rec
or,ls. a Philadelphia firm is said to have $751;
100000 Of orders in hand, and to be working
its big plant to its fullest capacity. Similar
reports indicating an unprecedented boom in
American ship.building come from the other cen
tiers Of this industry From Chile have come or
ders for fleet that will ply between United
States ports and the west eoastsof South Amer
lea; the number Of ships in the American Ha
maiiau line is being greatly augmented; several
ocean steamers are being built in sfipyards on
the Great Lakes, and nearly all the coastwise
lines are adding to their equipment.

The suggestion that the. house eonamitteesall
naval affairs be invited to Honolulu this fall is
good one. The committees itinerary, taking
in both the northwest and the southeast Will
probably not permit all of the members to come
to Hawaii, as the party does not leave Washing
ton until late in the fall and most Of the con-
gresslnen will wish to be back in the capital for
the opening Of the regular session. At the same
time, hearty invitation to the party may secure
a visit from several of the members, which will
be a point gained for Hawaii. It is to be hoped
the commercial bodies will act and act quickly in
forwarding the invitation.

senqer conductor on the Duluth 4
Iron Range railroad paid fine OF
s25 and costs in Judge Brady's court
at Hibbing yesterday on a charge OF

entering a plea of guilty. The war
rant for his arrest was sworn out by
a member of the Hibbing Gun club
and was served by Special Deputy
Sheriff Wood. Altar was found with
venison in his possession at a hotel
he conducts at Ridge. Wood has
made "a arrests and secured convict
ions in all of them during the three
months he has been in the employ OF

PROF. SWIFT LECTURES
AT HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING

Prof. F. H. Swift of the extension
department of the University of Min
nesota on a tour of the Mesaba range
investigating conditions with regard
to the social center movement in the
schools delivered an interesting lecture
at the high school yesterday in which
he urged the club women of Virginia
to work for state censorship of NOV
ing pictures and suggestive songs. He
opposed local boards of censors such
as are now being advocated in some
range towns, particularly at Hibbing.
Mr.. Swift also indicated he was not in
favor of members of the University of
Minnesota Dramatic club receiving
paw while on the road. His audience
yesterday was made up for the most
part of teachers in the Virginia
schools, while many parents availed
themselves of the opportunity present
ed to hear him speak. Comparing the
schools of the United States with
those of European countries he de-
clared the latter were the better
systematized.

First Class Restaurant in Charge Of
Experienced Caterer for

The New Manhattan restaurant, IN
point of equipment and appointments
the finest thing of the sort on the
Mesaba range, will be formally open

of next week, in commodious and
tastefully arranged quarters in the
Anderson block, next door to the Roy
al theatre.
Charles Honchos, formerly of Chi
cago, and a caterer of many years
experience opens the Manhattan and
has not spared money or pains to
make it up-to-date in every respect.
Mr.. Honchos has made considerable
investment in Virginia after carefully
looking over the local field and is con-
fident there is here an excellent open
ing for such a business. The service
will be as good as that to be had
in any of the large cities of the coun-
try. Mr.. Honchos is an alert, aggres-
sive business man, thoroughly expert
enced in his line and will no doubt
have fine success in Virginia.

ELECTION ATCLOQUET

Virginia people VINO were formerly
residents of Cloquet took much inter-
est this week in the election in that
city which resulted in the town going
dry by majority of 113 votes after
one of the most intense and exciting
municipal campaigns in it's history.
The issue was not in the candidates
but on the license question. The no.
license people polled sos votes to 1872
for the license faction. The no-license
faction carried every ward in the city.
Cloquet's saloons have been located on
an island in the river isolated from the
business district of the city. The
general prediction had been that the
town would go "wet" by small ma
iority. The saloons will be closed as
soon as their license terms expire. 1t
will be some time yet before the last
one is out of business. Many of the
employees of the Virginia & Rainy
Lake company here were former resi-
dents of Cloquet.

CIGAR STORES DO NOT
SEEK A COMPROMISE

Proprietors Of local cigar stores
Yesterday expressed regret that pub
licity had been given story to the
effect that they were willing to close
their places located in the front OF
saloons on Sundays and after IL
o'clock. 1--WE are not looking for any,
thing more than our rights said one
dealer yesterday. can see no reason
whv we should not be allowed to run
our stores on Sunday just as any other
cigar store, so long as we comply
with the state law giving a fair view
of the bar-rooms."
In other quarters it was freely
stated about the city that the ag'ta-
ton regarding the cigar stores IN
saloon fronts was the outcome OF the
personal animosity of one member ot
the police and fire commission, who
is alleged to be unduly officious and
|!,omewhat disgruntled over certain re-
/ cent developments.

PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE ON RECORD .
FAVORlNCR OF RATES
Resolution Passed After Considerable Debate Asking
Charge for Electric Light from Municipal Plant be
Per Kiowatt With Minimum Rate of so Cents

In a resolution passed at meeting
held at the city hall Thursday night,
following considerable debate, the
League Of Virginia went
on record in a resolution favoring an
immediate reduction in the rate Of
electric lighting service in the city of
Virginia from the municipal electric
light plant to 6 cents per kilowatt
and a minimum charge of SO cents.
The minimum rate is now 81 and The
kilowatt rate will average much higher
than the figure of 6 cents named in
the resolution of the club.
The Progressive league will have
another meeting Nov. 20 when the
matter will be further gone into and
when the local political situation will
be considered and endorsements will
no doubt be handed to candidates for
the mayoralty and places on the
council.
The reduction in lighting rates was
warmly debated. Alderman McGhee
opposed the lowering of the lighting
rate, on the theory that the water
and light commission had not yet
had sufficient time to get it's bearings
and that it should be allowed reason
able time to get things running
smoothly.
Alderman Conrad Mattson, Judge
r. J. Montague, Carl johnson and
F. C. Whiting supported the resolu-
ton finally adopted and each made
