manu- street, and which was to be
held at o'clock this afternoon. The
public bearing is set for October 26
to hear protests against the improve
ment district. ~
In his letter to the residents, Men
donca says: -. -
Regarding. the extension of Smith
street from King street to Queen
street and the paving of Smith street
from Beretanla street to Queen
street the supervisors at first pro-
posed to have this in two parts.
City Engineer Collins proposed to
me, through my representative, that
the Dowsett land and some of the
Magoon and Gilliland land be bought
for $19,935-and the land owners on
Smith street should bear two-thirds
of this expense, 13,290-amounting to
s4.S4 per front foot, to be paid by all
land owners on Smith street from
Beretania to Queen street.
by simply removing the back fence
from the Dowsett land a roadway from
King street to Queen street will be
open, but the roadway is not paved.
Later on the supervisors changed
their minds and now they propose that
the buying: of the land and paving of
Smith street from King street to
Queen street and repaving of Smith
street from Beretania street to King
street shall be thrown together, at the
combined expense of S1S.29 per front
foot payable by the land owners"
Mendonca then gave list of the
residents, totaling 20, with the assess
ment of each at the front foot charge
of 1929, the combined assessment
being S2S,S74. T. -.

LURLINE MAY CD
Light TO COAST
TO BE REPAIRED
Diver Examining Hull Today;
Report Will Tell Whether
Damage is Serious

That the Matson steamer Lurline,
which bumped her stern on a sub
merged rock off Makapuu Point at
3:35 Wednesday morning, may have
to go to San Francisco for repairs,
without taking any passengers or
freight, was considered likely by port
authorities today, who are inclined to
believe the damage done the steamers
hull more serious than was consid-
cred yesterday.
The Lurline is due to steam for San
Francisco at noon Tuesday. If she
has to go to San Francisco without
any passengers or freight 1t will up
set the Matson schedule and heighten
the local congestion in canned pines
awaiting shipment to the coast, as
well as increasing still further the con-
gestion in freight at San Francisco
awaiting shipment to island ports.
Agency Awaits Report
Castle & Cookies shipping depart
ment this morning could neither con-
firm nor deny the report that damage
to the Lurline's hull is so extensive
as to necessitate her going light to
San Francisco for repairs. The de-
partment said the divers report would
determine what course will have to
be taken.
