HIfyO, March 2.-Another step was
taken in the matter of the proposed
park along the banks Of the Wailoa
river at Waiakea on Tuesday last
when a committee of the board Of
trade reported on what 1t had done
in connection with the securing of
the tract that borders on the new
home lots. -.....- 49,. !. ri. H.
p. c. Beamer explained that he and
the other members of the committee
had visited the locality and had
thought out what appeared to them to
be the best scheme for the parking
strip. II was found that some altera-
tions would have to be made in regard
to the proposed park, because home
steader had secured certain section
of land that, originally, was expected
to be within the park strip. However,
by slight change which brought the
park strip to within about 20 feet of
the land of the homesteader, new
plan was made that is satisfactory to
all concerned. +.
The new park viii range in width
from 100 feet to coo feet in width
and Will be about 2409 feet in length
and the park should prove to be
boon to the residents of the locality.
The committee has arranged for
the county surveyor to make a map
showing the metes and bounds Of the
proposed park and to send it along
to the land commissioner in Homo
lulu so that that official can see what

WOULD REGULATE
FOR HIRE AUTOS

Drastic measures for safeguarding
the public from injury by the opera,
ton and maintenance OF automobiles
for hire are contained in a bill to be
introduced In the house by Representa-.
tive William 4. Miles.
Probably the outstanding feature OF
the measure is that it provides that
any person having an automobile in
use for the purpose of carrying pas.
sengers or baggage shall file with the
county treasurer bond of So, 900 with
the condition that the owner shall
obey all laws and ordinances relating
TO the running Of automobiles, and
that he will not drive, or allow to be
driven, his machine or machines so as
to injury any person or property.
II is further provided that such
owner Will pay to any person injured
by his machine or machines, as a re-
suit Of negligent operation, or any per-
son whose property is so injured, all
damages or all judgments that may be
rendered against the owner.
In case Of q breach OF condition by
the owner, It is provided that the per.
son injured. or the deceased repre-
sentative of such person, shall be en-
titled TO begin an action for recovery
on the bond Of $4,000.
The bond shall be in force in one
year from the date of execution, and
IL. in the opinion of the treasurer, the
surety on any bond is insufficient. q
new bond may be required. Licenses
to operate machines for hire will be
issued by the treasurer only upon the
filing of the bond. and if at any time
an owner fails TO file q new bond
when required. his license shall be
come void.
