Roads and Bridges.

Mr.. EDITOR -Sir,-A communication appeared
in your paper q short time ago upon the subject of
Roads; but it seems to me that roads without bridges,
in such Il country as ours is, would be rather impass-
able, especially for teams.
Being one of 4 large number OF the law abiding
citizens of this island, who feel that good roads and
bridges are Il necessity to a ciriIi@et community, es-
pecially TO those who live at a distance from the only
market to which they can bring their produce, and
seeing the wretched state of almost all the bridges on
this island; yes, Of all outside of this city and its
they are nothing to boast oe-the i'm
passable state of others, to say nothing of the streams
over which there are no bridges, [ feel constrained to
say something.
Any one riding from Honolulu to Waialua can testi-
f. to the wretchedneSs of the roads and bridges, ex-
cept where the road is naturally good. At the pres
ent time one of the bridges is absolutely impossible
for either teams or saddle horses, and this is one of
those most needed.
The wet season as well as the shipping season We
hope will soon commence, and should Il team be over
taken by a rain storm and freshet upon the banks
of the stream it would be very dangerous 9 not i'm
possible to cross.
The Road Supervisor is unable to do anything for
want of funds. The funds are wanting because the
Government cannot spare them.
How long shall this state of things continue?
When can the public be accommodated with good
roads and bridges? Certainly not so long as the Gov
eminent continue to throw away their money on such
useless objects as the Hawaiian soldiers.

Mr.. EDITOR The magnificent production which
was issued in your date of Sept 18th, induces me
as an individual of this community, to express NV
opinion of Hoe, or any other individual who NAV
feel Inclined to uphold the statements Of this inter-
esting moralist- In the first place, my illustrions
g pup has stated that the police were too lazy to
make an honest living by the labor of their hands
and to ascribe brains to such would be preposterous
Secondly, he has stated that the police are robbers
perjurers, and villains of the blacklist stamp and
thirdly, he calls a broom, to sweep the augean stable
of violence and iniquity.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | think that these are serious
charges and if the author of them can substantiate
what he has communicated to the world at larop
shame upon him if he does not do so. What is a man
of has propensities TO look daily on such transgressors
of the laws Of God and man, and suffer them to be at
liberty The doors of justice are open to all who
seek to punish the guilty one. Let him avail himself
of the privilege.
Leaving it optional with our highly esteemed and
friend 8 Hoc,'' to pursue the course I have
mentioned, or to have his real character published,

To the Editor of the Pac. Com. Advertiser.
Shin reference to the last fire on the I4fH. in
slant, L beg leave to make a few remarks, which I
trust, viii not be considered sspost f-stumn and
worthless, because of their late temperance, as they
tend to correct a fault, which during that occurrence,
has escaped your notice.
The eulogies which you spend on Engine c.. 10. /,
are well merited, as well as your remarks concerning
the idleness of the lockers on are very pertinent
They well deserve that reproof, as praise is due to
the managers of the Fire Department. However.
as L did not belong to those who disiain to lift a nail
of water, it occurred to me, that when running With
some Cinnamon (who deserve not a small portion Of
the praise, as on all such occasions invariably To
the hydrant, on the corner of Nuuanu and Hotel
streets, we could not find the key belonging to the
same-more, Engine No. 1 drove up to that same
spot, and also missed the KEY.
As the fire occurred near the reservoir ON fort
street, to which the engine ran back immediately all
turned out well. But suppose the fire had taken
place further down the street, in the neighborhood of
Mr.. F. Spencer's or Mr.. CIark's. or even in Mann.
kea street, what then /?
The reservoir near Mr.. V;ncent's. N Kin, s.,as.
was under repair, the wells dried Up, and Fort street
was much too far of-what then, I ask araius
Now L beg TO suggest the necessity of attaching the
keys for the hyIrants to the Fire Engines. and not
leave them hung up in the Engine Stations. Besides,
IN case that an engine should arrive too late to the
ground, and buckets Of water be of immense momen-
tary necessity, would it not be advisable that every
house in front of all the hydrants in town should be
provided with a key alsoa
Dir. Editor, please call the attention of the Fire
Department, or the Chief Engineer, to this eircum-
stance, and you viii thereby not only oblige me by it,
but the public in general. A. D.

EDITOR 2. c. ADVERTISER The following commu-

rendered to the PoIynesian for publication in It's last
issue, and was declined on the ground that to publish
it would bring down upon the men employed in the
office of the PoIqaesiaR the Indignation of the police.
and render them the especial subjects for their sur
veilance. The editor admitted there was nothing OBJ
jectionable in its reading r spirit; and further stated
that the policeman who had the young man in charge,
to whom this article alludes, stated to him (the editor)
that his orders were peremptory to get the money or
return the man to the st1tioa house.
