CITY MAY HAVE
TOBUY SLICES
OF COSTLY LAND
Bits of Property Which Project
Into Streets Make Sidewalk
Problems Difficult

Settlement in regard to property
which abuts into Honolulu streets and
which has to be cut off when the
streets are widened, is going to have
to be made soon, according to the
opinion OF City and County Engineer
L. NJ. Whitehouse.
Mr.. Whitehouse was led to voice an
opinion in the matter when asked to-
day in regard to the case Of one Lum
Mong Hong, q Chinese who has had
property cut off by the widening
project on King street out in the Ka.
lihi district, and who Is now offering
the property for sale to the city as q
compromise.
There are q great many cases Just
the same as this one" says the city
engineer. These property owners
seem to feel that their property has
been completely ruined. and are try
ing to force II on to Us by sale. We
must get to some definite stand in
the matter and know what answer to
make" - l. @T
The same case exists on Beretania
street between Fort and Nuuanu,
where property juts out into the mau.
ka side of the street, and Is an eye
sore to persons who love well laid
city, according to the engineer. This
is large strip OF property. Another
strip lies on Nuuanu avenue just msu-
ka Of Beretania. To lay sidewalk
properly it will be necessary for the
engineering department to cut off part
Of the projecting buildings.
All in all there are about 40 such
cases in the city. Several Of the prop,
erty owners have so far refused to
make any compromise, and Mr.. White
house would like to see what can be
done toward bringing one about
1T is likely" he says. that the
city government win be willing to pay
for the property damaged, provided
the owners ask reasonable recon,
pense. IL they do not, condemnation
proceedings can be started. do not
believe that the city can afford to
buy Lum Hong's property on King
street. 50 ~ = + 81

IN MEMORY OF BYRON WEIGH
James Byron Welch was to-n Ap-
ril 2, 1876, and died at his home,
three miles west of Cookeville on July
16. 1915.
He was married August 26th, 1890,

our esteemed and well known citizen
Henry Taylor. Byron was member
of Christ's church, having obeyed the
gospel several years ago under the
preaching of Bro. I'D. walling, and
had lived devoted life until death.
1t can truthfully be said that good
man, q good citizen, good neighbor
and good husband has left us. By
rom Welch was a man whose friends
could be numbered by the hundred,
nd if he had an enemy, the writer has
no knowledge of it.
The funeral service was held by
Bro. j. H. Cummins. and the remains
were laid to rest in the Cookeville
cemetery, where the birds sing
throughout the day and, where the 81
lent night kisses the flowers which
bloom DER his grave.
20, weary hands that all the day
Were set to labor hard and long.
Now softly fall the shadows gray.
The bells are rung for even song;
An hour ago the golden sun
Sank slowly down into the west;
Poor weary hands, your toll is dons,
'Tis time for rest, It's time for rest"

Byrd c. Lindsey.

OF hope beyond the tomb.
/ plead with those whose homes are

An enjoyable occasion was the meet
ing of the Woman's Missionary Soci.
ETY. with Mrs. T. X. Sisk on Monday
afternoon.
The meeting was called to order by
the president and the following is the
program:
Song-The Morning Light is Break
ing.
Devotional Service-by Mrs. o. D.
Massa.
Scripture Lesson-Eph. 1:15-23.
In this prayer ST. Paul sounds the
depth Of the need of every Christian
which, at every step In his earthly ca
reer, is a clear and ever growing Wis
ion Of God in Christ
I. Power is never given in any other
way than through a vision Of God in
Christ Jesus. Spiritual power comes
to us in proportion to the clearness of
our vision of God"
Some business matters were dis
cussed, and dues and pledges paid In
to the treasury. A suggestion was
made in regard to circulating ''trav.
cling bag" as q source of income to
the society.
Topic for discussion: Cuba.
',Matanzas and the Irene Toland
School, was a paper read by Mrs.
Dowell, which was very descriptive Of
that province Of Cuba where is situ-
ated this one OF 'tour" schools. These
mission schools are doing much in
the way Of education and in the up
lift Of humanity. for all who attend
them come under Christian influences,
and as they 90 out into the world to
do for themselves, most Of them carry
the Christ with them. And it is said
that these students are very intelli-
gent and hard working.
We were dismissed with prayer by
Prof. Sisk.
Delicious cream and cake was serv-
ed during the social hour, and all ex-
pressed themselves as having spent a
most delightful hour with Mrs. sisk.
The next meeting will be at the
church Sept. 9Th, at 1880 p. NJ, and
our president made a special appeal
that every member be present as it is
very important that all attend the
business meetings. Mrs. e. L. Writ
