IMPROVEMENT OF
DISTRICTS NOW
AWAITS ruling
Several Proposals Approach
Stage Where Decision of
" Court is Only Delay

The half million dollars worth of
improvements contemplated under the
frontage tax law are marking time
awaiting the decision of the supreme
court as to the validity of bonds is
sued under the law. There are half
dozen or so of the projects that come
before the supervisors in one form
or another at every meeting; each
taking another step towards that
point where the contractor will be or
dered to start work.
At Thursday nights meeting Kala-
kaua avenue grade and curb lines
were set by ordinance. Then contract
for the King street extension improve
ment work was awarded to the Lord
Young Engineering Company. Its bid,
S31,1 Isl, is $417 above the engineers
estimate, but the money will not have
to be paid by the property owners Of
the district as there is enough in the
fund for engineering expenses to pay
it. ~.
Sea View was the next project to
appear before the board. An assess
ment ordinance, finally setting the
rate at $2.269 front foot, was passed
and ordered advertised. 1t will be 30
days before it goes into effect. Pub
lie hearing will be held September 5.
AS Sea View is small district and
everyone living there seems anxious
to see the Improvement; started, the
board ordered that assessments not
paid in lump be collected in five
equal instalments, instead of the
usual ten.
Payment on the Lusitana street
work of $741S5 was ordered. Cement
has been laid from the bridge to
School street and work is going ahead
rapidly. 49,.

Attention was again called to the
fact at last nights meeting of the SUI
pervisors that Heinie's Tavern is al

alleged to be liable to a fine every
night there is dancing on the roof
garden.
Amendments to the dance hall or

affect aeinie's, the Young hotel and
similar places. we're again brought be-
fore the board AS the law reads. any
place where there is promiscuous pub
lie dancing is classified as a dance
hall, required to take out license and
prohibited from selling liquor.
The amendment removes these
three words, 'promiscuous public
dancing" and makes a dance hall for
the purposes of the ordinance only a
place where admission is charged, or
there is q charge for dancing.
Further amendment gives the board
OF dance hall inspectors power to re-
woke permits issued.
Supervisor Logan opposed the FUR

GOOD SHOOTING
Done BY 6-INCH
DE RUSSY RIFLES
Four Known Hits and Perhaps
s Made BY Battery Dudley
at $500 Yard Range

With four known hits recorded, and
possibly two more to be awarded
when photographs taken from the tar
get towing tug are developed. Fort
De Russy's 6.inch guns, Battery Dud-
ley, have done some remarkably good
shooting In the annual coast defense
target practise held Wednesday.
According to those attending the
record practise, the first record shot
fired by the 6-tnch gun battery made
a spectacular nit, the shell coming
within six feet of the target, at a
range of 5000 yards from the fort, al
most four miles. ...-.-. 49,.
Battery Dudley made four certain
hits and possibly six, when the photo
graphic records are developed, out OF
become known when prints of the
lovers" and Shorts" as shots going
over and falling short of the target,
are made. g.. -. - .---. ... Ill.,. ..:.
In running the course a photograph
er with a large camera is stationed on
the stern of the towing tug at the bits
holding the tow line fast to the tug.
AS each shot is fired he photographs
the splash made by the shell if 1t falls
to the right or left of the target as
viewed from the boat. Observers at
the fort watch with telescopes and
field glasses each shot, and If it falls
ahead of the target, between the tar
get and the tug, or behind it, in its
wake, they plot the distance on a dia.
gram cnart.
After the photographs are developed
the master gunner measures out the
results, using the Schloming tangent
scale. A shot falling within a certain
distance of the target is counted as a
hit, provided it does not fall too far
over or short, ahead or behind, as,
were the targs5 battleship the shot
would have found its mark, the target
being not much more than 10 feet
long, against a battleship's length
and width.
