Waiakeaa Bridge. Appropriation 10000.
Some two months ago IL was ascertained
that the bridge was unsafe for heavy
traffic and the passage of vehicles. and
the Road Board ordered it closed for
such. allowing only foot passengers to
cross.
( After a careful examination of this
bridge 1 most fully endorse the acton OF
the Board in stopping traffic over this
bridge. A new bridge to take the place
Of the present unsafe structure should
I be at once erected.
The steel bridge on the seward side
of the old bridge is the only route for
Z tho immense traffic from the town of
Hilo to Waiakea, Hilo wharf or vice
versa. This steel bridge is so narrow
that two vehicles cannot pass each 9TH
err and further IL is too light for the
heavy traffic going over II. One side of
the cement abutment of this bridge has
sunk about three inches, and one side
4 Is badly cracked.
Upon the above showing 1 would ask
the authorization to expend the amount
of the appropriation.

anee until the ownership OF the water

Constructing Road from Kaola through
the Settlement of Kaimu and Kalapana
to Kahaualea, Appropriation $4,000
This appropriation is for the construc-
ton of the government road from the
point to which il was constructed at Ka-
ola, and running toward the beach to
Kahaulalea. THIS road would open up
tracts of fertile government lands. 1t
would also be the means OF giving TO the
Kaimu, Kahaupana and Kahaualea, as
well as the kehena and Kamaili villages
road TO take them TO EIilo, and would
enable the villagers as well as the occu-
pants of the government homesteads to
take their produce to market. Fine kalo
sweet potatoes, cocoanuts, bananas, SUI
gar cane are raised in these localities,
and there being no road to convey the |
same to market, what is not consumed |
is used for pig-feed or rots on the !
ground.
1 would therefore ask that the govern !
ment authorize the expenditure of this |
appropriation.
Construction of Road from KamaiIi to /
Appropriation S1O.OOO.-The |
present road through the above locality |
IS nothing but horse trail, and in some
places very unsafe. The trail traverses
mostly lava country but also goes
through some fertile land and sandy
beach
The lava country contains several large |
xipukas. which are very fertile the res
dents of these kipukas cultiVating kalo,
sweet potatoes, sugar cane. etc. and had Il
hey good roads they could convey this \
produce to market. whereas as it now is, A
What is not consumed is either left to rotU
,r given to the pigs. II
I consider this road q much needed inn |
'rovement, and the means of opening up
large tract Of country. also of bringing
o the Hilo and Honolulu markets sup-l
'ly of superior kalo which is greatly I
leeded.
1 would therefore ask for authorization
o expend the $4,000 of this appropria-
