Preparatory to making the contract Mr.. Jas G. Hay
seden paid 1896 for surveying certain streams
Kauai, viz, Wainha, Lumahai Hanalei Anahoa, Wal
lua, Nawiliwili and Waimea, and when the Wailua
bridge put up, it found to be 81 feet too short
which founded the survey by Mr. Hayselden and
an extra sum of 800 was paid the Pacific Bridge Co.
to make the extension and 500 to F. NJ. Butler for
extra abutment
There were also additional amounts paid to Mr. Hays
9lden for extra work several of the above bridges

The work roads and bridges is one of great inn
portance in the affairs of the Kingdom both on account
of the large of money expended yearly for it and
because it affects the convenience of the whole public
in every district throughout the group.
During the last period the expenditures in this depart
ment amounted according to the report of the Minister
of Finance, to S305,034 3d. besides the amounts ex-
pended for wharves and landings 1t seems out of the
the question that the Minister with his very numerous
other duties, is able to look after this large so
closely that it shall be spent efficiently and economic
ally especially if it is to be expended by road supervS
Ors in each district who responsible only to him
Either there should be an efficient and faithful Road
Supervisor in Chief for each Island who shall have the
power to discharge inefficient incompetent district
supervisors his Island the Minister of the Interior
should have special assistant Tor this work. who should
be held responsible for all the road work the King
and who should also be competent engineer to plan
and superintend the construction of any bridges
wharves, special pieces of road work that may be
required
In more than one instance the total expenditure for
district during whole quarter was the salary of the
district supervisor 1t seems rather extravagant to pay
for a supervisor while for number of months there
was no work whatever done IN the district The Road
Supervisor in Chief had power to discharge
pend the district supervisor and could not do otherwise
than approve his drafts for amount of salary.
The plan of having Road Supervisor in Chief for each
Island one that has been tried only within the past
two years, three of the Isands-Hawaii, Maui and

CONTRACT WORK.

In examining the expenditure under the special apprO-
priation for bridges and landings and Government
buildings your Committee find that the in which
contracts made and approved for many of these
things must be characterized as disgraceful.
The contracts to build landings at HonOkaia Homo
malinO HOnOkaa and KOhOlaele given to Messrs.
Lawrence Freeth on specifications drawn up by them
selves The contracts signed by j. E. Bush Minis
ter of the Interior without the approval of the Supern
tenden Public Works. and without any effort to reduce
the cost by allowing competitive bids Mr. r. Stirling,
Superintendent of Public Works. stated to your Com
mtee that he had made estimates of the cost of these
landings before the appropriations made but in
each case the contract was made at higher figure than
his estimate and completion the work not as
good as provided for in his estimates
contract made with f. B. Thomas to build a
kerosene oil store housefOr S4S00 Itadoins the old oil
store house that only side and two ends

tract Also the of 81 069 % paid to Mr. Lazarus

used for the floor and approach to the building and to fill

the cement floor it necessary to spend 1914 % for
labor and material 1t is difficult to see where many
loads of stone could have been put The price paid for
parties have told your Committee they would be willing
to do the same hauling for 81 per load The estimate
made by Mr. Stirling for the cost of this building
including the cement floor complete, $3.50 This
estimate handed in to the Minister OF Interior before
the contract was made but was evidently ignored.
