Main Roads, Regarding, Appropriation
$50, o00.-l would urge that the expenditure
for the above should be authorized, viz
$4,000, and the work commenced at an
early a date as practicable under the
direction of II competent supervisor. The
grade in some localities averages from
Is to % per cent
This main road through Kukuihaele is
in very good condition, bitches and cul-
vorts well constructed and the grading
good; but, per contra, that part OF the
road running from Kukuihaele TO Kukai-
au Is in n very bad state, smothcred in
! dust i'm dry weather and In wet weather
muddy, and no attempt has been made
at ditching or the construction of cul-
vcrts where needed
The balance of the road from Kukaiau
to North Hilo is in fair condition, but
needs attention.
Upper Road Through Homestead. APP
propr alton S3O,0O0.-'rhe construction of
this road should be undertaken as soon
as practicable, fer 1t must be remembered
that this road will relieve the Home
steads afford the means of ingress and
egress to the occupants and enable them
to get their product to "A convenient
market, Hilo or Kawaihae.
The occupants of these homcSteads
have much to contend with and have
up hill work; They are INDUSTRIOUS and
hard working, having mostly families
to support, and relying mainly on Their
produce, as a means of existence. They
should, therefore receive all possible en-
enlargement from the government, as
| well as any assistance which can con-
sistently be given them. For which rea-
sons would ask that the appropriation
| of 100000 for the above be authorized to
be expended.
Ahualono to Waimea Road, Appropria-
| ton $4,000 Known School Street.
This road, which connects with the Wal
mea road is partly constructed but
some of it's grades need changing. The
unconstructed part Of this road Is not
paSsable, and now travellers are kindly
allowed to go through the lands of the
Parker Ranch in order to gain the Wal
mea road. The completion of this road
would greatly benefit the occupants ct
the homesteads and would also be a
great boon to the travelling public. In
case the Parker Ranch forbids the use
of their lands for road the homestead
! Crs and the public will have no way of
connecting with the said Waimea road.
| The authorization for the expenditure
of the appropriation of $4,000 for this
purpose is strongly urged.
Road from Paauhau Landing to Homo

| TALLY built, the completed portion run
ming from the main Hamakua road to
/ the Kukuhaelc ditch at "A point sltuat-
/ ed three or four miles from the rad
! leading to Waimea. The section Of road
completed Is In very good condition, and
me work ought to be completed for If
This is not done the money already eN-
pended on this road will have been
money entirely wasted. And further by
connecting this road with the Waimca
road, it will enable the hCmcsteadcrs to
take their products to kawaihae for
shipment to the Honolulu market.
| Authorization should therefore be given
to expend the amount of the appropria
| ton, Sc, 600. for this purpose.
| To Extend and Complete the Waipio
Road, Appropriation Sl0.O0.-This road is
built en- per cent grade on the side
of the cliff, overhanging the sea. In
some places IL is very dangerous, and
when the district of Hamakua has its
usual rainfall there Is great danger of
several portions of this road being en-
| tirely washed away.
| meeting was lately held by the resi-
dents of Waipo in which they warmly
| expressed their dissatisfaction with the
| government, and also criticised and CEN
sured the Public Works Department for
| not having consulted them nor their
wishes In the matter. The road leads
| away from the main Hamakua road. and
compels the residents in that section of
country to take their produce kalo, rice.
etc, by crcuitous road to Waimea and
| Honokaa, thus increasing the distance
to be travelled by about four miles, max
ing the cost of transportation mere than
can be realized on their produce. At the
present time the old trail Is being used
and is preferred by the residents of Wa
pho and those travelling to the valley.
To widen this trail would cost more than
$4,000 appropriated therefor.
| Waipio Branch to Kukuihaele VII
lage, Appropria ton 5000. This part of
the Hamskua roads, is badly in need OF
repairs, as it is in most lamer t
| able condition, and the expenditure
of the amount OF the appIopra-
ton. 1896. should be authorized.
