Kamehameha and Oahu avenues and

the supervisors and Mayor Lane after

The decision was announced by

pervisors and the mayor believe 9
more substantial pavement than as
phalt macadam should be laid on those
streets.
City Engineer Whitehouse has been
ordered to prepare specifications in
accordance with the decision of the
supervisors and the mayor and these
probably will be presented to the board
at the meeting next Tuesday.
The valley property owners are
about evenly divided on the question
of pavement material. Part are IN

others favor asphalt macadam. The
decision of the supervisors is believed
TO be the popular choice Of the valley
owners as whole.

San Francisco agent the shipment,
which reached the Coast city but yes

"The arrival of this shipment, COM

main Carnival event occurs upon the
opening night, but rather that the
proper Carnival enthusiasm and spirit
will be aroused through the efforts of
the Ad Club and the use of the i'm

For a number of weeks past IL had
been feared that the European war
would cause such a delay in this con-
signment of goods as to cause It to
arrive in Honolulu after the 1915 Car

SUGAR CLAUSE
New York Businessman Writes
Here That President is
Holding Conferences
DEFICIT IN TREASURY
FORCES RECONSIDERATION
May Postpone Tariff Change
Until 1921 or 1919 as
Compromise

Significant conferences are in prog
ress between President Wilson and
Democratic leaders in Congress look,
ing to postponement of free sugar
either for five or for three years from
1916, according to Information that
comes to Hawaii on unusually good
authority. ..... A..
Robert w. Shingle, president of the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Company,
has received a personal letter from F.
c. Riebe, head of the Import Chemi.
cal Company of New York, great
concern which Is vitality interested in
the tariff and closely follows its
course. Riebe further is an investor
in Hawaiian stocks, among them sugar
and pineapple securities. He Is there.
fore interested in the sugar tariff.
Writing to Shingle on January 20 he
said:
Il hear on good authority that the
president is seriously considering a
postponement of the free sugar clause
for five years from March, 1915. / also
understand that there are now confer.
ences going on between several Dem
ocratie senators and the president. It
is possible that compromise may be
reached postponing the time when the
free sugar clause is to take effect for
three years from March, 1916.
The chief answer to this seems to
be the diminishing revenues Of the
United States government, so that the
administration can ill afford to permit
the loss of another $4,000, 900 next
year. The estimated treasury deficit
is already $50 .000, 900 and may be ex-
peoted to grow before the end of the
year.
Il obtained my information from a
very reli4ble source, and while, of
course, the conferences now going on
may lead to nothing tangible, 1t is a
fact that they are going on.
Several businessmen of Honolulu
have heard indirectly that free SUI.
gar" may be postponed until 1919 but
none has any information more def.
mite than that quoted above. A.
Mr. Riebe was here in 1918 and has
large investments locally. .. =.
