The report of the committee was laid
upon the table, to be considered with
the bill.
Mr.. Paris reported from the COM
mittee on public lands on petitions 15,
16 and %, for roads and repairs In
Olaa and Puma, Hawaii, as follows:
Your committee finds that petition
is for road to Koohe homesteads,
has already been provided for in the
estimates of the Superintendent of
Public Works.
Petition 10 asks for $1,000 to repair
the crossroad at fifteen miles on the
Volcano road. We would recommend
that the sum of $4,000 be inserted In
the appropriation bill for this road.
Petition % asks for $4,000 to build
crossroad at the twenty-five miles on
the Volcano road to new Volcano road.
Your committee considers that this
road should be built, as it would help
to develop a fine section Of govern
ment land, but with our many neces-
sary improvements, we would recon-
mend that 81, 900 be inserted in the loan
bill for a horse trail.
