Wide Roads Wanted.

With Surveyor Baldwin and Minister
Young favoring wide streets and roads
there is no reason why improvements
in roads on Hawaii should not be on a
better basis. Mr.. ROwell has always
advocated long and narrow roads, not
withstanding the fact that they are
more expensive TO keep in repair and
less convenient to TIE public. As Mr..
Rowell is a minority in the Board of
Commissioners he will not cut much
ice. Front street eighty feet wide
would be a great thing for traffic and
would be easy 10 secure as sixty feet.
When it comes 10 slicing of a mans
property few feet more or less makes
very little difference.
