lister Thurston said the proposed expendi-
lures for new roads and permanent works

the items for roads and bridges, Hawaii,
S25, 900; Maui, $4,000; Molokai, $1,000:
L MAJ, $500; Oahu, other than Honolulu,
$4,000. In answer to a question by Rep. c.
Brown, the Minister of Interior said the
Koolauloa road board had put in an esti-
innate of $4,000; the Government had
agreed to ten per cent of the amount. Rep.
Kalaukoa asked why the Pauoa road had
not been opened, pursuant to the appro-
pnation therefor al last session. Minister
Thurston said it was found that the soil
there is clayey, and a road. after a shower
of rain, would be impossible unless ma
terial was carted to it. The carts were
employed in the macadamizing OF the
streets, and TO provide new rolling stock
for building the Pauoa road would use up
the appropriation. As soon as the carts
can be used for it, work on the road will
proceed. The money has not been spent.
Rep. Naone moved to amend by inserting
roads and bridges, Honolulu and Pauoa,"

ence to q select committee. Rep. Pae-
haole supported the motion. His constit-
uents wanted to know, after 1886 session,
what this appropriation was for. Rep.
C. Brown was chairman of committee to
investigate this matter in 1886. He con-
sidered the money well spent, as any mem
Der can see for himself by going to look at
the Government nurseries. Noble Young
said if anything is needed more than
another, it is forests. The cultivation of
forests had been shamefully neglected.
