HOLLNGER HOME
With BIG ideas
FOR THEF future
Advocates Use of Bitufthic As
Most Satisfactory Paving
for HonoIuIu'S Streets

Much impressed with the value of
bitulithic as paving material and its
availability, Supervisor-elect Ben Hol-
lingeG is back today from his trip to
California to look into municipal meth
DDS. He is so impressed with btu
lithic that he says he viii urge 1t upon
the attention Of the new board of su-
pervisors early next month.
. An announcement to that effect VAS
made by Mr. Hollinger this morning
on his arrival from San Francisco on
the WilheImina and the decision was
made following a detailed investtga-
tion Of street pavement in and about
San Francisco by Mr. Hollinger dur
ing the past few weeks
Before election promised the citi-
zens Of Honolulu good government,
and I intend to carry out my campaign
promises to the letter. will strongly
urge bituhfhic upon the attention of
the supervisors to be laid wherever
practicable in Honolulu.
My selection was made after a de-
tailed investigation at San Francisco,
the new board member continued,
'and was made for several reasons.
First of all, macadam, water bound.
costs too much to maintain and in
general is unsatisfactory; asphalt Is
too shiny and dusty and is hard on
both horses and automobiles in rainy
weather; lcreosote block pavement is
too slippery in wet weather and costs
too much to lay. / have found bitu-
lithic to be entirely satisfactory where
II had been carefully tested" .--"
Late features of the mainland fire
departments, as found by Mr.. hollin-
ger, are the fire gong and semaphore
systems which have recently been in
stalled in Portland and San Francisco.
After examining the gong system ct
San Francisco Mr. Hollinger reported
that he would make an effort to have
a similar system Installed in Homo
lulu. The arrangement consists Of a
series tof posts, one at each intersec-
ting street in the downtown district.
when a fire alarm is sounded red
lights show on these posts and gongs
attached automatically sound for a
clear street for several blocks ahead
Of the approaching fire engines.
"These gongs are inexpensive to in.
stall and are cheap to operate and
their installation in Honolulu would
mean one more step. for the safety OF
Honolulu citizens" Mr. Hollinger ex-1
planned this morning, and 1t was one
Of the improvements noticed in San
Francisco which | heartily favor for
Honolulu
The system In Portland is more
complicated than the one In San Fran
cisco. The posts there are about 20 feet
In height while the San Francisco
poles are about half as high. The Port
land poles resemble the semaphores
Of q steam railroad and act In SINH
lar manner. While In San Francisco
Mr.. Hollinger inspected the emeryen-
cy hospitals and the morgue of tha.
city closely. In Honolulu this morn

and stated that he was in favor Of

Mr.. Spargo, In defending socialism.
said:
Il believe that in the evolution OF
society capital was necessary, but 1
am equally prepared TO argue that cap
ital has reached its breaking point, and
is no longer necessary to society. The
man who In this day declares for less
government and protests against the
inevitable extension of government. Is
always found among the criminals and
debauchers OF our civic life. The So
cialist Is the one man who is trying
TO put an end 10 class struggle. The
State to-day represents the MISTER
class. This master class cannot even
operate its railroads successfully. Do
you mean TO say that the actual work
ers on the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad could not operate
It better than the men who direct
them? The present master class is
not competent to manage either gov
ernment or industry.
AS for DR. Schurman's contention
that the interest of capital is the IN
terest of labor. I might ms we'll claim
that the interest OF the dog Is the in
