BOARD FCOMNlbsIOhEHs.-1 bOAru
Of Commissioners met at the Court House
yesterday morning In regular session, all
the members being present.
REroRrs OF COMMITTEES
being in order, the following were sub.
mitted and disposed Of rs noted:
Finance and AeeotRh-The trip OF the
committee TO the East, in the interest Of
the county and house Of correction, for
reasons over which for the time the com.
mittee could not control, was temporarily
postponed. In the matter Of improving
Chapline street the COMMITTEES, on behalf
Of the county, Nsented 10 the improve.
ment and payment Of the county's por.
ton. The law library Is safely housed,
and new Yale locks put on the doors.
The attorneys employed to gather the
missing books reported the number Of
books In library originally 934, number
out at the appointment Of the committee
l40, books collected by committee 94.
The committee recommended the pay.
ment Of bills aggregatlng S773. The re-
port was adopted.
Finance and Rodds.-Further action on
the Middle Wheeling Creek and Valley
Grove roads was postponed.
Court HouSe and jail - Reported the
County Jail in good order, showing quite
an improvement. The committee con.
template changing the debtors' room to
accommodate milder cases Of lunatics,
and asked some action Of the Board In
the premises. The matter was referred
10 the committee with power TO act.
Roads and Bridg9-Bills aggregating
$3.50 20 ordered paid.
Poor HOuIc and Farm-Poor House bills
1921 6S; contingent poor bills $lS2 so.
Poor Agents report: No. of inmates s.;
white males SO, do females IS, colored
males 2; deAths-Walter Conoway white
male), one infant white iemale); tran.
silent poor during month 80. Adopted.
County Engineers RepOrt.-Mr. W. G.
Smith, County Engineer, reported that
since his last report an estimate had been
given for grading on ID Division g. G. &
P. road, as also for superstructure for
bridge over Glenn's Run. The remain
der Of contract work Is progressing
slowly, but will be completed within or
soon alter the contract time. Nearly all
Of the appropriation placed in the hands
Of Mr.. Wilson, Road Supervisor on up.
per end Of river road, has been expended
BY him, the bulk Of the work being done
on the first two miles this side Of Short
Creek. For more than one.halt that dis.
lance the old bed of the county road is
covered by the condemnation Of the Pitts
burg, Wheeling & Kentucky railroad, and
the adjoining landowners refuse to grant
the additional width for the new location
required by Sec. 81 OF the road Law. The
Improvement is therefore at a standslill.
Mr.. Smith recommended the appoint.
ment OF a committee with authority to
obtain from the landowners or from the
railroad company as much ground as may
be necessary for the relocation and con.
struction Of the road. The matter was
referred TO the Committee on Roads and
Bridges.

SKETCH OF HONOLULU.
BY VIVA.


Honolulu is the only city in the Hawaiian
Kingdom, and is situated on the southwestern
side OF the island of Oahu pronounced Wahoo).
Its harbor, with the exception of a sufficiently
wide entrance, is completely land locked An
extensive reel. bare at low tide, bars the pillows
OF the Pacific Ocean, and the largest merchant
ships aud steamers can safely enter the port at
all times OF the tide. NJ hidden rocks, shoals.
or other barriers exist 10 the passage and the
sea Is OF great depth at distance from the
coast. The harbor inside is very commodious :
extensive stone piers and wooden ietlies. have
been built capable of accommodating scores of
large sized vessels, besides coasting schooners
aud sloops. OF the latter there are thirty-five
vessels at present engaged in the inler-slund
and coasting trade. There are also seventeen
vessels engaged in the foreign trade of the is
lands that bear the Hawaiian flag The exports
oil domestic produce are about yearly average
value OF $1,000 600, while the imports are about
Sl'oOO'OOO. There is an efficient steam Jug
boat 10 continual use and q coastlng steamer of
40 tons makes weekly trips to the several Is
lands OF the group Honolulu harbor is in lat.
q. l6o. North. 1t is capable of great improve.
ment; and its wharves could be extended to
any required limit. One large wharf called the
EsPanade Is very substantially built, and is of
great length; but at present it is little used ex.
cept for a promenade The other wharves
nearer the business centre meet the requirements
of the trade.
The city extends about mile along the north.
eastern shore of the basin, and stretches inland
more then mile towards magnificent valley.
through which runs fine stream of fresh water.
That joins Two other mountain streams near Ho.
nolulu, aud the united waters enter the barbor
on the northern side of the city. Over oil the
streams are built neat and substantial bridges.
and the roads leading into the country in all di-
rections are wide and nicely macadamized. Out-
side the city limits and in the suburbs. the roads
are hped with elegant villa residences. and the
grounds are beautifully shaded by tropical trees
and shrubs. A few public parks have been laid
out, but none OF them ore yet completed En-.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1877-06-27

high winds are "Konas" or south winds that
sometimes blow fresh during the winter months
when the trade winds are interrupted; but they
are seldom attended with damage. Thunder is
seldom heard. and lightning is seldom seen. The
average summer temperature OF the city ia under
80 :. Fab. and the range does not exceed 20 . :.
No sudden changes of temperature occur. The
climate Of Honolulu is little warmer and dryer
than the average Hawaiian climate, owing to its
being cooler and the atmosphere more moist. The
average yearly rainfall IN the city is 48 inches !;
most RAIN falls during the winter months. but
there are refreshing rains at other seasons. The
ordinary vegetables of the temperate zone aud
the fruits OF the tropics plentiful; with
these and also with FISH, mutton pork beef. and
poultry, the markets of Honolulu are always
supplied
