experienced, but unprejudiced, oil men whether they
think the acreage held by the Ringing Oil Refining

into the character of the men composing the company
We ask you to put every claim the company makes, up
against the laws of Oklahoma, We know we have one

TARO SCARCE IN KONA
DESPITE HIGH PRICES

In a recent trip to the southern
part of South Kona J. F. Child, exc.
cutive officer. of the territorial food
commission, reports that eleven Ha
waiian families we're visited where
some very good taro patches were
found but in the majority of cases
there was a marked scarcity. Some,
says Mr.. Child, were too lazy to raise
it; others had previously raised it &c
sell but were discouraged by low
prices year or 80 ago and stopped.
A short time ago these people were
glad to receive $3.50 a bag for taro.
Now that it is $3.50 a bag they are
sorry they have none to sell. If told to
raise more they ask how much can be
assured them and when told 50, they
are not satisfied and do not want
to grow it. However, three of them
will start growing taro and probably
two others. Owing to the scarcity OF
taro many Hawaiians are mixing flour
with the poi and although they do not
like the combination they would rath-
er do it than raise more taro.

) IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS GET
SUPERV|SORSO.k.

. Five new improvement . projects
were launched at the meeting Of the
board of supervisors last night. They
are the paving of Hustace and Clayton
streets and Archer road the paving
of Liliha street, the widening of King
street for several blocks waikiki of
Punchbowl street, the extension Of
Bethel street from Hotel to Beretania
street and the paving Of Beretania
street from Punahou to the King
street extension.
The proposal to pave the Hustace
street district was introduced by
Wade Warren Thayer in a petition
signed by the Alexander Young Es-
tate, California Feed Co., Levers &
Cooke, the Oahu Ice Co. and others.
According to the figures submitted by
Mr.. Thayer, the improvement will cost
$17,375, which means an assessment
of $40 a front foot. ....... g.,
+ Under the plan of Mr.. Thayer the
city and county would pay one-third
of the cost, but Supervisor Petrie OBJ
jected to the division, as Hustace
street Is not main thoroughfare. AS
result Mr.. Thayer agreed to canvass
the property holders to ascertain il
they would be willing to pay larger
share. .
Supervisor Arnold introduced a res
olution Tor the paving Of Liliha street
and such connecting and adjoining
streets as may be necessary. This was
passed and the engineer instructed to
prepare the preliminary plans and a
resolution Of intention. -, ..
The preliminary plans for the paw
ing of Beretania street from PunahoU
to King street extension were present
ed by City Engineer Cantin. The cost
of the improvement will be $92, 4S0. SO,
with added costs of S3S22.50 for curb.
ing and $663.50 for acquiring land. The
assessments against the property
holders will amount to $50 per front
foot and so cents foot for curbing. .
A petition signed by so per cent of
the property holders who will border
Bethel street II II is extended from
Hotel street to Beretania street was
filed with the board and requested
that preliminary plans and specified
tons be prepared. The matter was
referred to the city and county en-.
gineer for action.
Because the Rapid Transit plans to
double track King street in the near
future the board last night asked the
city and county engineer to prepare
plans for the widening Of the street
from Punchbowl street to the Catholic
cemetery to a width of "A feet
throughout. At some places it mar
rows to 40 feet. 1t was estimated that
the cost of the work will be $500.
