CITY BUSINESS AND
SUPERVISORS NOTES

A $25 item on the appropriation
was argued for at least 10 minutes
Monday night, only to find at the end
Of that time that it was. the wrong
item.
e. A. Mott-Smith asked the road
committee If something could be done
to repair the roads leading to the
Queens hospital and to the Children's
hospital.
A request was made to the attor.
ney's office for an opinion on how
Judge Ashford's decision on the work
mems compensation act affects the
city and county.
The next meeting of the board will
be held Thursday evening, July Il,
at 1880 o'clock. The principal bust
ness will be the assessment hearing
on the extension and paving of Smith
street.
The board ordered the county clerk
to advertise at once for bids for the
1918 automobile plates in order that
they may be here before the first of
next year. 1t was also announced
that the sheriff and the city treasurer
are working on a plan to have the
plates for 1919 similar to those of
California where the plates are kept
but the inscription on them changed.
Charles H. Bellina, chairman of the
electric light committee, asked Ben
Hollinger, chairman of the public
buildings committee, to ascertain the
ownership of the old incinerator near
the Kakaako sewer pumping plant.
Bellina said the site was the most
adaptable one for the new proposed
electric warehouse and repair shop
and the department would like to ac-
quire it as it has been vacant for
ten years.

M'CANDLESS TO
TAKE FRONTAGE
TAX TO court

L. L. t'Link'H McCandless declares
he is not going to pay the assessment
now due on improvements to his prop
erty on Beretaria street under the
frontage tax law. If an attempt is
made to sell his property he will take
the matter to the courts.
This. in effect, was his statemnt
when asked il lie was going to take
any action in regard to a letter sent
him by D. l., Conkling, city treasurer,
warning him that if the assessment is
not paid by July Is the property Will
be sold.
Il believe that we had right to
petition against that work" he said
If Aala Park and Nuuanu stream had
not been taken into consideration by
the city, we would have had 20 or 80
per cent Of the property owners in
that locality opposed to the improve
ment. We think we had the necessary
So per cent to protest, but the city
brought in its own property frontage
and defeated the protest.
That road Is of no benefit to me.
| bought the property on the basis of
a six per cent income to me for 25
years. 1t makes no difference to me
If there is only a COW path through
there.
"Ill certainly decline to pay the
frontage tax. II the city starts to sell
it I'll take the matter to court. But
| don't think they can sell it."

Miss Edna PeItz to Compile
Report Descriptive Of
KiIauea'S Wonders

That preventive action should b.
! taken Immediately to stop the gather
| ing Of silver sword from the crater
| of Haleakala, because IL ii is not done
it Will soon become extinct, is the
| declaration Of Miss Edna PETIT. sec
1etary to Robert s. Yard of the bu

ton Miss PeltZ, with her travelling
companion, Miss Agnes .Andreae. has
just returned from a 9-day tour OF
the Hawaii National park, consisting
of portions of Haleakala, Mauna Loa
and Kilauea.
1T is part of the work Of the park
bureau to preserve rare things and
was Impressed with the thought that
some action should be taken to make
ii illegal to gather the silver sword.
Certainly, anything Of such rareness
and beauty as the silver sword should
be preserved. If some such action is
Eot taken it is certain it soon will
become extinct.
5riIliancy Hawaiian Keynote
"Brilliancy is the keynote Of every
thing Hawaiian" is the way Miss
Peltz sums up her impressions of her
islands visit. Every tree, every
plant, seems to bear some delicious
fruit, or be dressed with beautiful
leaves or flowers" she added.
Miss Andreae then interposed with
a remark regarding the island resi-
dents: Butt the people also are de-
lightful They treat one with such
sincere graciousness. shall never
forget the delight l experienced when
Hawaiian man and his wife pre-
scented US with gorgeous leis the morn
lug we were returning from the sum-
NIT of Haleakala." Then as an after
thought, she said They had never
seen US until the previous day"
On their trip to the Haleakala sum
nit the two women had the good for
tune to witness a brilliant sunset, but
mist interfered with, their view of the
rising sun the following morning.
However, both were highly pleased

NATIONAL PARKSOFFICIAL BECOMES
ENTHUSIASTIC BOOSTER FOR HAWAII

with the distant views gained from
the summit The view seems to
change with every step during the
climb of the mountain" Miss Peltz
remarked.
Although neither said so in so many
words, they seemed to think it rather
an interesting adventure that they had
climbed the big Maui mountain and
remained at the summit over night
with only a Japanese cowboy as a
guide and escort.
About their visit to the kilauea
volcano the visitors were enthusiastic.
1T is beyond all conception" Miss
Peltz said. She declared that her i'm
preston in advance of the active
crater was gained from seeing NOV
ing picture In the states-"but in that
one gained no idea that the lava lake
was constantly undergoing changes
We watched the lava for three hours
and would have remained all night
if it had been possible"
Will Report on Park
Miss Peltz will compile report
regarding the Hawaii National park
area for publication in the National
Park Information Circular. This cir
cular is issued annually by the Ma
t:onaf Park Service and contains de-
scriptions of all the national parks
of the United States, with full de-
scriptions of what is to be seen for
the information of tourists.
While here Miss PeltZ has had a
with Governor L. E. PinA-
ham in reference to the Hawaii Ma
tional park, and she is to secure 700
feet of moving picture film from the
Hawaii Promotion committee which
will be included with other films used
by her chief, Robert S. Yard, in Civ
ing lectures about the national parks
of this country.
Miss PeltZ and Miss Andreae will
leave on the Maui for the mainland
after having spent three weeks here
Both declare they will be active
boosters for travel to Hawaii Some
of our friends thought we were fool
ish to risk the dangers of being sub
marined by coming here We know
how foolish it is to fear any such
danger in the Pacific, and will so in
form our friends" they said.

.BERETANIA BIDS
ARE AUTHORIZED

A call for bids for the paving of
Beretania street from Alapai to Puma
hou with concrete was authorized Mon
day night by the board Of supervisors
following adoption of the City engi
neer's final report and specifications
The cost of this improvement was
originally estimated at approximately
Sill, 900, but since then the cost OF
labor and material has been greatly
increased, and it is anticipated that
the bids will be higher than that fig
ure. Because the public hearing has
been held the city and county will
have to pay the difference. No bid
however; will be accepted II 1t Il
excessively high. declares the board.

END OF CAR LINE MECCA
FOR HOMELESS PUSHES:
HUMANE WORKERS OBJECT
LBy Associated Pressl

BERKELEY, Cal.-Officers of the
local humane society have been asked
to investigate the practise of persons
riding to the terminal of a car line
there to dispose. of cats that they no
longer want. The result hRs been
that residents in the neighbofbood OF
the end of a car line are overridden
with these homeless creatures. 1t is
said that many persons get rid of the
animals in this way for the reason
that they are averse to having them
killed.
IF persons realize what misery theJ
inflicted on theiD animals by this
practise, they would not do it." said a
humane officer. "A painless and hu,
name death as against disease ami
starvation"
