II is possible that a portion Of the
funds required for the erection Of the
millipn.dollar block the Bishop Estate
trustees have planned for Bishop, Park
may be raised On bonds on the building
itself, according to Information given
The Advertiser yesterday by Il. T..
Winant, the cashier Of the Bishop
Estate. IT,,
''The trustees of the Bishop Estate
areigoing to build their new, four-story
steel and stone business block, facing
Bishop street, as soon as the financial
outlook improves, he said. The E,-
tate has been accommodating funds for
this purpose by the sale of lands, and
has invested the. pr0ceeds-ip bonds and
other securities. They laveinot enough
cash in sight to complete the structure,
the seeuFltyi market is dull and there
is no immediate demand for such other
property: as it had been intended to
offer for sale TO mako up the entire
cost of the new structure.
eff the securities market does not
recover so that the bonds held as a
part of the building fund can be said
without loss, the estate may bond the
building for part of its cost of con
struction, provided, of course, that sach
a course of procedure would be ad.

The County Promise.

terred TO the public meeting which had
been held in Hilo when the harbor com,
missioicrs discussed with the business
men the adyisabiiity OF builling the
wharf. He stated that the commits

casioh several very prominent business
men had assured the commissioners that
they would see 20 il that the comfy
would build a proper road to the wharf,
once such wharf had been built Jim
Lewis, who was at that time chairman
OF the board OF supervisors, had prom
lssd that the county would build the
road, but as he was out of power now,
he could not be held TO his promise.
AS matters stood now, the commits.
sioners had built the, wharf, which
would soon be ready for business, and
still there was no way Of reaching it
by any means except the railroad, and
this in spite Of the fact that the wharf
was SO arranged chat other vehicles
would have means Of access 10 and use
of the wharf superior to those provided
in Honolulu. The harbOr commission
has $4,000 on hand with which TO pro-
vide an approach, but this is not suf-

Rumor has it that other explorers

The reason for all this scurrying
around is that the Breakwater Com.

gone into bankruptcy, and the govern.

to make good. The Surety Company
