SOUTH HILO.

KaiwilSi and Kaumana Homestead
Road, Appropriation S15,O00.-The 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.
l would recommend that for the pres
ent 5000 be set aside from the above
appropriation to carry OH this work.
Hilo Roads, Appropriation $50,OOO.-The
road On the South Hilo side of the Ha-
kalau Gulch needs widening, owing to
its narrowness several accidents have
happened, though fortunately without
loss of life.
Road from Hakalau to Pepeeko is in
very good condition but the bridges need
looking after. and in some cases new
bridges should be erected without delay,
SO as to prevent accidents.
The roads and bridges from Hono!H to
road sadly need reconstruc-
ton. The roads in the town of Hilo and
toward Puma should be Immediately at
tended to.
In view Of the above 1 would ask that
s25. 600 be authorized for the above men
toned work

Hilo Sidewalk, Appropriation $500
For the present there is no necessity Of
expanding this money
Road from Honolii to Papaikou, Appro-
priation $20000.-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 effecting these needed improve
ments would be to endanger life and
property.
would therefore ask for authorization
to go on with this work at once.
Wailuku Bridge. Appropriation $4,000.
This bridge is in a dangerous condition.
and new steel bridge should be erect
ed. 1t may be said that the new bridge
across the Waikiki stream, above the
old bridge on Pitman street, will answer
all requirements as means of egress
and ingress TO Hilo, but i consider that
the traffic to and from Hilo demands
that two arteries should be given to the
rapidly increasing business of Hilo. In
deed, is would a matter of preservation
for the new bridge, that another one
should be built. in order to divide traffic.
would urgently ask that the outlay
of $4,000 be authorized.

away from the main Hamakua road. and
| compelS the residents in that section OF

to be travelled by about four miles, max
ing the cost of transportation more than
| can be realized on their produce. At the
present time the old trail is being used
and is preferred by the residents of Wal
| pic and those travelling to the valley
To widen this trail would cost more than
$4,000 appropriated therefor
Waipio Branch to Kukuihaele vii
lage. Appropriation $1,000. This part of
the Hamakua roads, is badly in need of
repairs, as 1t is in a most lament
able condition, and the expenditure
of the amount of the appropria-
ton, 5000, should be authorized.
Road from Pauuhau Landing to Homo
kaa Landing.-This road is in good con-
dition and needs no expenditure.
The Road from Waipio from Akaka's
Store to Top of Mountain, Meeting the
Old Road, $10,00O.-The residents of Wal
pho are very anxious to have this road
made. 1t follows very near the line of
the present trail to Waipio. If a good
grade could be obtained, a much better
road could be made, which would
be more satisfactory to the residents of
the district and easier to travel over,
making it easier and cheaper to trans
port produce, the distance covered be-
ing shorter than the trail from Kukui-
haele Mill to Waipio.
(See appropriation ITO extend and
complete the Waipio Road.'O
All the residents are strongly in favor
Of this new road, and 1t would therefore
be in the interest of the district to au-
thorize the expenditure of $1,000 being
the amount if the appropriation.
NORTH HILo.
Roads and Bridges, Appropriation $685.
600 The road and bridges in the district
Of North Hilo are in a very fair condi-
tiOne but need immediate attention. To
neglect those at present would entail
double cost and expense to the govern
ment and the Homestead roads need re-
construction to make them passabIe
1 would therefore recommend an ex-
penditure of $4,000 for repairs of bridges
and also for repairing the Homestead
roads
Roads from waikaumalu to Maulua,
s.. O00.-This road is in poor
and needs regarding, fencing
and putting In order generally, for as il
is il is menace to life and limb.
I would therefore recommend the eX-
penditure of the appropriation of $500
for that purpose.
ANOdu rum Nadhti4i " COheiid' AppTo-
priatiOn S6,0C0.-This is a piece of very
bad road in front Of the Ookala Planta-
ton. 1t is the worst piece Of road in the
whole district, and needs much repairing.

alton of 5000 be expended for the above
purpose.

Konas to Kawaihae. Waimea and Ko-
! hala, and vice versa.
In view of this would ask that the
appropriation of $4,000 be authorized to
be silent on this road.
Road from Kawaihae-kai to Puupue,
Appropriation S4,00O0.-The appropriation
for this road. viz, 81 600, would barely
enable the making OF a 6-foot trail. which
trail, however, would give travellers
from Kona to Kohala passable road to
travel over; for at the present time the
So-called trail is in such condition that
the travellers have to carefully pick their
way over it. 1 consider the new trail
necessity, and all residents and interest
ed persons in these localities are lot 1 in
their request that the old trail be i'm
proved on.
1 would Therefore, ask that due author
ization be given for the expenditure of
, the appropriation for the above purpose
Completion of Road from Waimea to
North Kona, Appropriation $22.0oO.-This
road is partly built, and the finished por-
ton is macadamized, and as far as the
read itself Is concerned, in good condi-
ton; but 1t needs GROWING, and it is also
Indispensable that the road should be
provided with cutters and culverts. Il
would be decided waste of money to
neglect that part of the road already
built. The partially built part of the
road also needs attention. Lumber for
constructing the needed bridges max OSCH
lying in Waimea far the last seven
months. This road demands immediate
attention. and the line of road passing
Nohonohae hill should be laid out. There
IS abundance of good road material on
hand, which would greatly facilitate the
work. 1 would therefore urge the auth
oriZat:on for the expenditure of the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for this purpose.
Completion of Road from Puepue to
Boundary of South Kohala1 Appropria-
ton $24, O00.-This road starts from the
boundary line of South Kohala. 1t runs
across the lava flow of 1854 10 The Pun
nahulu homesteads and connects with
Eben Lows road to Puuwaawaa, from
thence IL continues till IL joins the gov

Dear Sir-In a communication Of
October 18th you enclose a bill of the
Honolulu Iron Works Co., Ltd, against
the Department of Public Works for
$500 for the first payment on ac-
count of contract TO furnish a high-lift
pump, with steam jacket. the same be-
ing one-half of the contract price. In
regard to this matter, you say that
this contract was signed June Is, 1900,
for $4,000, one-half of which was to be
paid on delivery, and one-half ninety
days after delivery. The pump is now
ready for delivery, subject to the pay
ment of the enclosed bill, viz. $500"
The loan appropriation bill, which
failed to pass, included an item of
81. 900 to cover this contract.
1 do not see how the failure of the
Legislature to provide for a loan af-
fects the legality of this contract, if it
was within the authorized powers OF
the Superintendent OF Public Works.
1 do not see why the bill cannot be
liquidated, as far as funds are availa-

priation for Unpaid bills incurred on

SKILL IN MILKING.
Sne VINO Docs Not Possess 1t Should
Not Be Allowed to Handle
Dairy Cows,

Milking is an operation which re.
qulres skill, as it has an important
effect on the amount and quality OF
milk given. Dairymen know that
there are as great differences be.
tween mixers as between cows, and
that cows will do much better with
some mixers than with others. In.
DEED, good cows are often almost ru.
lned by poor mixers.
The mixer should avoid bandlino
the COW more than is necessary. and
he should make it rule to do his
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from a sick to a
well COW without first cleansing his
hands. The habit of wetting the
hands with milk is filthy in the ex-
IRENE and should never be practiced.
Some people think it is necessary,
but this is a mistake. The hands
should be kept dry. If they are not,
1t is impossible to prevent drops of
milk from constantly falling from
them into the pail, says Farm, Field
and Stockman.
The pail should be held close to
the udder, so as to expose the milk
to the air as little as possible. The
farther the streams fall and the
more they spray, the more dirt and
bacteria they collect. Contamination
from the foremilk must be avoided.
by discarding the first few streams
drawn, or less than gill in all. This
entails little loss, as the first milk
drawn is always poor in butter fat,
and ii it happens to be badly con-
taminated, as is frequently the case,
much injury and trouble may be
saved.
