making il easier and cheaper to trans

double cost and expense to the govern

condition and needs regarding, fencing

/ Read from kaakali to Ookala, Appro-
priation $G,0o0-Ths Is a piece of very
bad road in front Of the Ookala Planta-
ton. Ii Is the worst piece of road in the
whole district, and needs much repairing.

Road from Waipunalau to kiilau, APP
propria ton $6O00.-This road is in ex-
tremeiy bad condition. and il will take
the whole of the appropriation of $4,000
to pun it in order.
would therefore suggest that this
amount be expended on said road
SOUTH HILO.
| kaiwki and Kaumana Homestead
Road, Appropriation sl5o00.-Thc roads
in these two localities are in very good
condition, but money Is needed to extend
these roads to the Homestead lots
which at the present time, have no
roads and need them badly.
| would recommend that for the pres
cnt 5000 be set aside from the above
appropriation to carry on this work
Hilo Roads, Appropriation $500 0.--Tho
road on the South Iilo side of the Ha-
kalau Gulch needs widening, as owing to
its narrowness several accidents have
happened, though fortunately without
loss OF life
Road from iakalau to Pepeeko Is In
very good condition but the bridges need
looking after, and In some cases new
bridges should he erected without delay,
SO as to prevent accidents
The roads and bridges from Honolii to
Aunlauulu road sadly need rcconstruc-
tion. The roads in the town of Hilo and
toward Puma should he Immediately at
tended to.
In view of the above | would ask that
$4,000 be authorized for the above men
toned work
IIilo Sidewalk, Appropriation 5000
For the present there is no necessity of
expanding this money.
Road from HOnoli to Papaikou Appro-
prhitiou s2O,0O0-This amount Is needed
for the reconstruction and regarding OF
this stretch of road, also for the repair
ing and erection of new bridges; the neg
lect in offectng these needed improve
ments would be 10 endanger life and
property.
! would therefore ask for authorize ton
to go on with this work at once.
Wailuku Bridge. Appropriation $4,000.
This bridge Is In dangerous condition.
and a new steel bridge should be erect
ed. II may be said that the new bridge
across the Waikiki stream, above the
old bridge on Piman street, will answer
all requirements means of egress
and ingress TO Hilo, but | consider that
thu traffic to and from Hilo demands
that two arteries should be given to the
rapidly increasing business of IIlo. In
deed, Is would a matter OF preservation
shou d be built, In order TO divide traffic.
! would urgently ask thai the outlay
of $4,000 be authorized.
Wciakeaa Bridge, Appropriation 1000.
Some two months ago 1t was ascertained
that the bridge was unsafe for heavy
traffic and the passage of vehicles. and
the r ad Board ordered It closed for
such allowing on'y foot passengers to
cross.
! After careful examination of this
bridge ] nost fully endorse the action of
the J paid in stepping traffic over this
bridge A new bridge to take the pllc
of the Iie.ent unsafe structure should
be at once erected.
| The steel bI idge on the seward side
of the old bridge is the only route for
the immense traffic from the town of
Ililo to Waiakea, 1ilo WHAT or vice
verse. This steel bridge Is SO narrow
that two vehicles cannot pass each 9TH
er, End further, II is too light for the
heavy traffic going over H. One side of
the cement abutment of this bridge has
sunk about three inches, and one side
Is badly cracked
