MR.. BoYD's REPORT.

Boyd's report upon the affairs OF the
other islands occupied their attention
until late in the afternoon. The report
of Supt. Boyd was as follows:
On the different roads. etc, on Hawaii
visited by me, | would report fol-
lows:
NORTH KOHALA.
The Kapaahu Road to Mahukona, APP
preparation s4,O00.-This road Is in very
good condition. and for common earth
road. is really excellent. On this road
in the vicinity of the Puukea Ranch, Is
IA considerable quantity of crushed road
metal, ready for being used to macadam-
ize the road from this point to Mahuko-
ma, but unfortunately this Is lying idle.
as no funds are available TO carry on this
work
At distance of about liz miles from
Mahukona, the Road Board, on account
of the paucity of funds at their disposal,
ordered the new line of road to be aban-
doned and at this point to be connected
with the old road. On this old road the
grades are very bad, and the construc-
tion of the road with grades. as project
ed, ought to be carried out. All the
bitches and culverts have been well look
ed after, and are in good condition.
I would recommend that authorization
be given for the expenditure of s4,00O-ap
proprated for this road
Road from Honokane to Kapaau, APP
preparation s6,0oo.-This road from ka-
paau as far as Halawa is in as good a
condition could be expected for an
earth road. From Halawa to Null the
road needs much filling in, or better still,
macada MIXING. From Multi to Pololu 1t
most decidedly needs regarding, the pres
ent grade being about is per cent.
~ Taking all in all, this road is, under the
circumstances, good. AS to the changes
in the grading. there would be no diff
Guilty in getting the right of way.
Here, also, | would recommend that
the amount of the appropriation, 5000,
be authorized to be spent on this road.
Waialeale Road to Kaauhuhu. Appro-
priation s3000.-This road is intended to
connect the homcsteads in kaauhuhu
with the main road to facilitate the con-
veying OF provisions, lumber, etc, for
the settlers. There is much need of this
road being properly made. and l would
suggest that the sum of 81 600 be author
lied to be expended thereon
Kehoni Road to Honoipo Appropria-
ton S200-ls in good condition, and needs
no expenditure for the present.
Mahukona' Road to Puuhue Appropria-
ton $i00.-The old grade on this road is
excessive and almost inaccessible, and
it would he perfectly useless to spend
any money ON the old line of road The
road, to be of practical use, ought to be
changed from Puuhue to the first steep
