Kalaukoa asked why the Pauoa road had
not been opened, pursuant to the appro-
prlatlOn therefor at last session. Minister

there IS cIayey, and a road, after a shower

terial was carried to it. The carts were
employed in the matchmaking 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 |
