TO PAVING COSTS

Because the price Of material and
labor has increased to such an extent
since the public hearing on the Bere-
tania street, Alapai 70 Pllnahou, I'm.
proyement district was held, the esti-
mate on the cost Of the work by the
engineer IL practically $4,000 less
than the amount deemed necessary
now.
At that time the eng.neer figured
the improvement would cost t1I1,350,
but now It win be nearer $4,000. he
says.
As q result the engineering office Is
IN dilemma. Unless way OF re.
ducing the present cost Is found an.
other public hearing win have to be
held, with new figures to present. II
the public hearing. Is held the next
question which comes up is whether
the work win be done under the old
or new frontage tax law. The latter
win cost the city four to five thou
sand dollars more. And on top Of Il
Is the question OF money. The terri.
tory gave enougl under the old fig.
ure 70 finish the work. but now the

In the most exciting voting cam
paign ever held in local baseball cir
cles, conducted under the auspices Of
the starBulletin. the baseball fans Of
Honolulu and vicinity have selected
an AllStudent team for the Kauai trip
The contest closed at II o'clock this
morning.
Billy Niles was invited to send a.
all-star interschoiastic team to Kauai
by Charles A. Rice and Hans Isen
berg. Inasmuch as Miles was man
ager Of the st. Louis team. he decided
to leave the matter OF the selection
Of the players up to the fans Of Homo.
lulu. The StarsBulletin offered to
conduct the contest. Letters came q
from every section Of the island
Among the many were selections mads
by feminine fans who had followed
fhe games.
All this morning telephone calls
came into the office, asking how the
vote was going. and the latest mail
was flooded with letters sent BIZ ardent
fans. There was 4 close race for third
base and Utility positions, while
George Haneberg. the peppery little
second sacker Of st. Louis, 'ran strong
IN al precincts. :
At 8 o'clock Il was certain that
Haneberg would have big majority
over all candidates. and Lai Sin, the
first sacker Of st. Louis, was also
running strong. The fact that Hay
selden did not expect to make the trip
cut down his vote for time. but he
ran strong Ii the votes this morning.
Sum Hung. who was the leading
hitter Of the league, carried big vote
on this account, and the fact that be
was pitted against Haneberg at second
base evidently caused the fans to shift
him to the ortfieId. where he has been
playing Of late. The selection made
By the fans Is practically the same
az that made BY the Star-Bulletin.
when an all-star team was selected.
Commercial Uniforms 20 Be Worn
George Hanebers made the sugges'
ton that the players use the CONNER
ciaI League uniforms, giving the Homo,

This received the hearty support Of
the majority Of the business houses,
and these suits VII Be used. The team
win hold first practise this afternoon
at O'Clock ct Moiliili Field The
squad leaves Monday afternoon ct 5
o'clock.
Billy Miles said today that the selec-
ton which was made By the fans IL
satisfactory to al, and should mako
great showing on Kauai.
1T shows that there Is much intes.
est ii the game, and the contest han
died by the Star-BulIetln proves con-
cIusively that the fans follow the
game through ths Star Bulletin sport
