"By this method surplus water is driven Of
by placing sliced products on trays in the sun,

dried foods can be kept perfectly in paper bags

"In putting up vegetables and fruits for

"If you can obtain cans and jars only in

fruits as you prefer in juicy form. Wherever
possible concentrate succulent foods, such as

Preserve or jam the fruits and berries

Put fruit juices in ordinary bottles.

cents and the labor approximately the same
amount. Still cheaper racks could be made
out of lath or other material which would
do nearly as well.
One of the most recent improvements is the
beveling off of the front of the rack so that a
better circulation of air is provided.
Only the lower rack is provided with legs.
The others rest upon it and form stack. Five
or six of these racks piled as shown in the
photograph will, if placed in the draught of

Sitting on the dock, he sang song after song.
When we had swung far out into the bay his

removed and carefully folded his faded Uncle

BISHOP Street
EXTENSION TO
GET Under WAY
Improvement to Cost $4,000
to Start in Month if Collins
Advice is Needed

! Work Oh the lonG-proposed project
= Of extending and widening Bishop
street from Queen to Allan streets
| will be commenced within a month
, il the recommendations of City and
County Engineer George NJ. Collins,
contained in his report to be submit
ted to the next meeting OF the board
| OF supervisors, are carried out. II is
estimated that the cost OF widening
! the street, removing number OF
/ buildings from the path to make it
run straight from Hotel to Allan
streets and throwing up a dirt road
J for the section of the extension will
be in the neighborhood of 10000
The preliminary assessment roll
prepared by Mr.. Collins calls for tax
, alton per front foot of all the prop
erty between Hotel and Allan streets,
but this will not bring in large
revenue because of the fact that the
government property is not taxable
and the Young Hotel property and
Bishop estate lands are also exempt.
The result will be that the city and
county will have to pay for at least
two-thirds of the cost of this street
Improvement Will the other property
owners bear the rest of the burden?
In submitting his report and the
preliminary assessment roll for the
improvement City and County Engi-
neer Collins will recommend that the
work be taken up as soon as possible.
Before the street can be widened, the
city electric shop, the territorial car
penter shop and the testing laboratory
will have to be removed.
The question of how soon the work
can actually be started will be de-
cided when the board of supervisors
can discover where to lay their hands
on the money necessary for the pro-
ject. The matter will be taken up
Tuesday night.
Another matter which City and
County Engineer Collins will bring
up will be a report regarding the
widening of Beretania street between
Fort and Nuuanu streets. Two bust
ness blocks, one owned by Mrs. J. T.
Silva of this city and the other owned
by Mrs. r. Duval of Oakland, Cal,
project into the street. Mr.. Collins
has arranged with the owners to have
the stores moved back so as to make
the street straight and will report
the amount asked by the owners in
consideration of moving their build
irgs back from the road. ....
He will also submit report of the
project OF paving Punchbowl street
from Beretania to Lusitana streets,
with the assessment roll for the i'm
provement.
Work was commenced today ~by a
gang of road workers from the city
and county engineers office on the
paving of Makiki street to Roundtop
road, task which is being done by
the city and county under contract
for the Oahu Loan Fund Commission.
The real work on the job will CON-
mence next week; the present gang
at work merely. preparing the road for
the coming of the bigger force. Ma
cadam with a coat of asphalt will be
laid down and the street will be lined
with concrete cutters.
