Sanitation-One Of the most important
matters under this head is the sewerage
OF kewalo district Ii needs only cas-
ual inspection TO impress one with the
absolute necessity of sewering this dis
trict- An appropriation of $4,000 has
been made for this purpose By the last
Legislature. and l should therefore rec
Ommend if funds are available that this
work be undertaken without further de-
lay Plans and specifications are all pre-
pared for same.
Drainage for Kewalo District-Sur-
veys and maps have been prepared show
ing location. size and depths of all ponds
ate.. within the district and also showing
line. sizes and methods of construction
Of proposed ditch. This work should
be carried on the same time that the sew
arage work is undertaken. thereby has
.ening the work of making this district
sanitary and habitable.
Government Sfables-The late fire of
he Honolulu Stock-Yards Company has
more than ever impressed me with the ne
.essity of some action being taken to re-
move and proDerlv rebuild. as far as pos
'ible in freproof condition. the Govern
nent stables.
The present stables are fire-traps pure |
md simple. and constructed. as they are
gainst the property line. in close Drox- |
nifty to large wooden buildings, and their /
Internal arrangements are such that. |
hould fire occur. it would be utterly i'm |

FLOWS in regard TO condition of roof in
building:
Many of the leaks in the roof are
fused by the states and shingles being
roken and cracked. and the Joints be
IL over each other: also the shingles
= loose and are falling down on account
the nails being eaten away by rust.
The rafters in many places have set
ed so as to leave a hole on the cement
dye. allowing the water to leak down on
e ceiling.
The valley gutterways are in very bad
ndition. Many of these cutters are of
PIPER and are beyond permanent repair.
he lead flashing on the front veranda
eds replacing. All yeranda roof needs
Uniting and repairs. Many of the cell
g joists in roof are badly eaten. and
Its and splices are slack. which causes
e tie beams to settle. and breaks the
aster in many rooms.

ton of all leaks etc.
