| The special committee found the IA

mails could not be sent in or out of the

mittee on finance did not think of the
! Settlement road, otherwise he was sure

commended. He moved it be set over
until the afternoon as the special order
| of the day. He thought Beckley's rec
ommendation was good one, as Mo-
! lokai had been entirely overlooked.
| Dickey said the bill only called for
repairs made necessary by the last
devastating storm.
Maui got the worst of it; Hawaii
was struck with more or less force, and
| Oahu scarcely felt the storm" said
| Dickey convincingly.

prised when they cut it down to $4,000,

about cutting it, said Dickey. There
We're thirty-three inches of rainfall In
