1he Road Board held their quart
erly meeting on the 9th instant. Be-
ing out of town ourselves at the
time we were unable to attend, and
as we understand there were none
of the tax payers present, we are un-
able to report of the business done
during the last quarter. 1t is the
duty of our tax payers to be present
and know for themselves just what
the Board is doing.
1t will be matter of rejoicing to
all when the Wainaku part of the
road is finished. Then we may ex-
pect that the Board will pay some
attention to the other matters that
its attention was called to at a form
er meeting.
The bridge across the Honolii
Gulch gave away few days since
foot passengers are able to cross,
but all the animals have to swim the
stream. This is new bridge fin
ished Just before the Legislature
met in 1884. 1t cost enough to
have been built to stand ten or fif-
teen years, but it was not built of
such material as it should have been
and now the tax payer has TO pay
over again for having it rebuilt.
The bridges now being put up in
| our district are all housed in and
will stand in all probability for
long term of years. Since writing
the above we understand that the
bridge has been repaired temper
arily and can be crossed by animals.
We are sorry to learn of the death
of Mr.. Ed. Witschey, formerly of
Honomu. He died suddenly in San
Francisco, and leaves wife and a
family of small children, all of whom
are now in California.
d. Howard Hitchcock will be
pleased to exhibit his work done
during the last week to any of his
friends, at his studio over the office
of Hitchcock and Hitchcock.
The Wainaku burglar, Jack Ka-
loki, escaped from prison last Satur-
day night and nothing has been seen
OF llHl since.
On Wednesday last fire origin
ated from spark from the engine
on the Waiakea plantation, and
quite number of acres of cane
were burnt over; but not much loss
was caused TO the plantation by the
accident, as the mill was grinding,
and the burnt cane was Immediately
ground.
The town residents in great num-
bers flocked to the seaside during
the past week to take sniff of the
sea air. 1t is so far from town to
the sea that many seaside resorts
are being put up to accommodate
our atownspeople when they wish to
get q fill of sea ar. One gentleman
of our acquaintance was running
all around town last week trying to
get tent so that he could camp
with his family on the sands, just
across the street from his house in
order to get good breath of sea
air. Most of the dwellers by the
sea have returned to the comforts
of civilized life.
Messrs. Richardson, Lyman and
Shipman gave fine old time luau to
large number of their fellow
townspeople on Friday last ,at
their new sea side house Kainehe
"The Ripping Sea-" on the shore
of the bay opposite to Cocoanut

. for an out door luau; and over 20(
