KONA PETITION SHELVED
NO MORE MONEY ALLOWED FOR
ROADS THERE.
Minister Young Reports on the Work
Contemplated There--Road Around
Diamond Head.

Minister Alexander Young reported
to the Council of State yesterday af-
ternoon on the petition of residents Of
Kona for money for roads. AS for the
road from Huihui to South Kohala, he
said there was already an item i'm for
$4,000 for the extension. If it was nee
essary to make the road wider than
twelve feet the matter should be sub
mitted to the Legislature. The sum Of
$4,000 has been asked for widening por-
tons of the road between Huihui and
South Kona.
No provision had been made for the
road from Kailua to Holualua, but the
branch road from Keauhou road to
Kailua, for which $1,000 is asked, will
greatly relieve the traffic of the Ho-
luloa road. No provision had been made
for the Honokohau road. The road be-
between Kailua and Kahaluu is provid-
ed for in the loan appropriation, and
included in the lump item of $36, 900
asked for that district. The road from
Kahaluu to the mauka homesteads is
partially provided for in the loan APP
propriatiOns, $4,000 being asked for. The
enlargement of the wharf at Kailua is
all that is contemplated at present.
In view of the large amounts already
in the appropriation bills for roads in
North Kona, and the prospect of a ses-
sion of the Legislature before long, the
Minister recommends that the items re-
feTed to in the petition be not in
creased.
Minister Young reported favorably on
the petition of property owners for
road around Diamond Head to the wal
alae road, except that he thinks it adj
visable to build the road near the beach,
in place of on the high land. The cost
is estimated to be between $4,000 and
900
Mr.. Robertson succeeded in getting
in the bill the item of $1,000 for repairs
to the judiciary building.
An item of 500 for expenses of the
Council of State to date, was inserted.
Act 2 will be read for the last time
this afternoon.
