REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Noble Jaeger for the Committee on Pub
lie Lands and Internal Improvements,
read five reports:
l. On petitions for placing electric lights
in certain localities. The placing of the
lights asked tor is very desirable The
difficulty in the way OF placing such lights
is that the plant now used is not of suffi-
cient power to sustain the light in the
lamps now in position. The matter may
safely be left in the hands of the Minister
OF Interior, who has made his plans for
the lights prayed for. The amount asked
for this purpose, in the Appropriation Bill.
committee hope viii be granted.
3 On the petition that Government
lands be sold only to residents OF the dis
tricts in which they are located. Recon-
mend the petition be laid on the table.
3. On the petition for the extension of
Liliha street to Wyllie street. Members of
committee have personally examined the
locality and ascertained that the lands
needed for this road have been owned by
the Government since 1S80-81. Judging
by the condition OF the taro growing on
the said lands, 1t does not appear as If they
had been taken possession OF for the pur-
pose intended. The Government paid
81 $50 for these lands. Committee recon-
mend that in future proper deeds be taken
instead of simple vouchers the existence of
which may be forgotten. The proposed
street would be public improvement, but
committee do not know if funds are avail
able for the purpose, and recommend the
petition be referred TO the Minister of the
Interior.
Minister Thurston said there is an item
in the Appropriation Bill for the extension
of the road referred to.
4 On the petition tor the extension OF
Fort street to Pauoa. Committee have
examined the locality and, however desir-
able the project may be, it does not appear
to be urgent at present. 1t will be costly
undertaking, because the lands that would
have to be taken consist mainly of taro
patches and.being in such close proximity
m he Honolulu have
able value. The unevenness of the terri
tory is another consideration. Recon-
mend that the petition be referred to the
Minister of the Interior.
5. On two petitions, the one to remove
and the other to retain T. A. Lloyd as road
supervisor of Oahu So far as they have
been able to ascertain, Mr.. Lloyd has been
the best road supervisor Oahu ever had,
and as there is no charge against him,
they recommend that both petitions be
laid on the table.
Minister Thurston said that Mr.. Lloyd is
employed by the Road Board. The COM
mittee and petitioners as well seem to have
made the mistake that he is road super
visor for the island of Oahu.
The reports are signed J. l. DOwsett, ST.,
A Jaeger, P. n. Makee, G. Bertelmann,
J. Nakaleka, and were severally adopted.
