TERRITORY FAIR
IS PLANNED ON
LARGER SCALE
Portions OF Streets Adjacent To Aala
Park To Be Added To
Big Show Site
SOME IDEAS FOR EXHIBITS

The Honolulu board of supervisors
has granted permission to the fair
commission to fence off large part
of Beretania, River, Hotel and King
streets adjoining Aala Park, to be
used as a part of the fair grounds
during the big territorial show, June
10 to Is.
Along Beretania street, mauka of
Aala Park, the fence will extend to
the middle of the thoroughfare. On
King street the fencing will extend
out distance from the curb, leaving
room for vehicle traffic mauka of the
car tracks. 1t will take in most of
River street and out directly across
that avenue at Pauahi to include a
plot 100 feet square, whore live
stock judging stand is to be erected.
Big structures will be built on Riv-
er street, within the fair ground en-
closure, to house all livestock
This arrangement with the city
supervisors enables the fair board to
make the grounds considerably larger
than Aala Park alone would allow.
The space thus gained on Beretania
street probably will be set aside, to-
gether with the children's playground,
for amusement concessions.

The Status of Trolley Fares.

When il is considered how the cost Of
every item of daily living has radically
increased in recent years, it IL really
surprising that the charge for ride on
the trolley cars is still held at five cents.
How the trolley lines can meet the in
crca ed cost of material and labor without
max ny m increase in the charge for
| traN,, is somewhat of a mystery. Not
that the patrons are desirous of paying
more, but how the trolley companies can
avoid charging more, all things considered,
in order to make both ends meet, is the
problem Of the day.
When we look back upon the past very
few years, it is almost bowildcring to note
how the cost Of nearly everything that
goes into ordinary living conditions has
been radically increased. Prices IN all di-
rcctions have been advanced, IN many IN
stances more than hundred per cent.
Can it be expected that the local trans
portation company is able to maintain its
service without an increase in chargcs9
The price of shave has been advanced
from 10 to Is cents. The price of a hair
cut from Is to 25 cents. and now is being
boosted to 35 cents. The price of a shine
has gone from five to ten cents The fare
on steam railroads has been largely IN
creased
The increase In other lines, and
especially in the prices for the ordinary
commodities OF living, has been most pro-

The reason advanced for these increases
is the increased cost for materials and

Somewhat Pessimistic.

The Sussex Republican Of Georgetown
seems decidedly pessimistic in respect
Of the probability Of harmony between the

''But just as long as abuse, distrust, and
unfair, untruthful criticism continues,
a harmonious party is impossible Of
course, it is entirely possible to establish

defeated element to abide by the result,
