Our Fort street contemporary
grows quite dictatorial about that
tree in Vineyard street. 1, reads
the law to the Minister of the In
terror, requiring the removal Of
any tree that "shsll obstruct the
street." Also, the law giving
authority to the Minister to per-
NIT the planting of trees within
sidewalks. The law clearly gives
the Minister discretion to decide
whether tree obstructs the street.
THAT" tree does not obstruct the
street in the opinion of competent
judges, as there is an ample car
riage way on either side Of it.
Drivers should have no more risk
10 passing it than hundreds of
them wantonly take in rounding
curbstone corners-some of them
with hideous electric poles in
them. Given the lighting the stree,
is entitled to, and the tree is
no menace to coachman or c,cli-t
with head to avoid running amnck
at everything in sight. On the
occasion of a semi public funeral
procession lately, shat" tree
proved a great comfort to many
ladies and children, who under its
boughs had shade while they
awaited the passing of the cortegp.
Resides being discretionary with
the Minister the provision quoted
by the Star may also bt
taken as purely directory.
He should therefore not allow
himself to be driven by camor in |
the matter until the most ample
discussion bring out the fact of
where the preponderance of pub,
lie opinion rests. As has been re-
marked to the BULLETIN, the Star
might find a better cause for sta
tutory citation in the law requir-
ing the Minister to have names
Of streets put up at their corners.
Probably the Minister has good
reason for not having carried
out this law--no money for the
purpose or discretion allowed as
to time and method of doing the
work. But the point is this, that
if one goes burrowing in the
tatutes, for the purpose of find.
ing instructions to the Executive.
be will find much material more
mandatory to the Ministers than
anything bearing on the fate of
that" tree. A clergyman, in con.
versstion with the writer this
morning, initiated reference to this
subject by ridiculing the deadset
being made against this unique
Of Vineyard street. He

leges as a newly arisen element,
on the part of those who bave
taken up this fascinating latter day
mode OF locomotion. The ambition
to become recognized in this re-
gard is quite legitimate aud, in
one noteu orthy respect, likely to
subserve the public good quite
importantly. In fact, results are
said to have already been achieved
in this regard of 10 m can extent
elsewhere, while some sort of
organization to the same end
has been initial d even here. Re.
ference will readily be understood
to be to the agitation for good roads
where they are bad, and better
onts where they are but fairly
tolerable. The wheeling fraterni.
ty in the United States
have proved their possession
of considerable influence, in that
as we'll a. more selfish lines OF
effort. There is another side t.
the question, however, which is
that Of the general public interests.
This has regard to the regulation
of bicycle traffic upon streets and
roads. Towns having municipal
government do not, with wise
heads leading, have long to wait
for action on the matter. 1t is a
simple matter to have an ordiu-
ance passed making the necessary
regulations to be enforced by the
police. The recourse here has to
be to a biennial meeting of the Leg
islature. That fact kept in view,
it would not be just to say that
Honolulu is behindhand for it's
paucity Of regulative law upon
bicycling. The traffic has very
greatly increased even since
the latest legislative ses.
sion. It has now arrived at a
stage when the Minister of the
Interior should be authorized to
proclaim rules from time to time,
as may be found necessary, for its
regulation as the same authority |

hire, expresses, etc. Instances
are daily abounding of the neces-
sity of such legislation. Let a

fice. Yesterday afternoon young
lady on wheel, riding but slow
", attempted to pass through a
narrow space between pile of
building material and moving
tramcsr. Something threw her
bicycle out of its direction
and into collision with the
car. Fortunately the car
was rounding a curve,
and in very slow motion, else a
most lamentable accident might
have to be recorded. In this case
the error of Judgment of the
wheel rider was but slight, but it
started a conversation between
three passengers on the car, re
vealing whole chapter of
narrow escapes and disregard of
the most ordinary precaution.

brush mattress. He moved that the
County Surveyor and a special COM
mittee of the board inspect the work
before the next session of the board
and make an estimate of the cost the
committee to report at the next meet

The motion was carried, and the
Chair named Mclaughlin, Curtis and

ROCKY AND SWAMPY.
Mr.. Biggs of White Rock appeared
before the board to explain the condi-
ton of the new road laid out near the
Oakley ranch, between Folsom and
Walltown Timber. The work is more
difficult and expensive than was an
ticipated
Surveyor Boyd said the ground is
rocky and difficult to work The esti-
mated expense was $3.50, which has not
all been expended. There is a bridge
on the road and the ground about it is
soft, necess sbtating longer approaches
than We're contemplated.
Supervisor Curtis said he found the
work more expensive than had been
tinued until the board could act in the
matter.
Supervisor Morrison thought that if
work on the new road could not be
prosecuted to advantage at this season
of the year it should be deferred until
later, and the old road be left open.
He moved that the matter be referred
to Supervisor Curtis, who would of
course have the low place filled in as
cheaply as possible so the road could be
made tolerably passable for this sea-
son.
Supervisor Mclaughlin seconded the
motion and it was 50 ordered.
Clerk Hamilton read the list of names
of citizens selected to serve as trial
jurors during the year, 400 in number.
After allowing few claims the board
