Mr.. Mott.Smith Replies.
Mr. Mott-Smith recalled the former
decision of the Board and said he did
not see why they should reopen that
question. However, he wanted this
conference so that they might explain
the matter to the Superintendent OF
Public Works. What the whole Board |
had agreed upon was that either one or
the other of the institutions must go. |

could be obtained elsewhere. He want.

sacrifice. He did not believe they could |
reconsider their action taken under |
those conditions previously described |
Mr.. Boyd answering questions ex-
planned that the objection to the quar-
ry suggested as available from the |
Bishop Estate was that the department
could not reach 1t by the Asylum road. |
The material would have TO be carted !
around by the Houghtailing road,
costing two or three times as much as
by the other road. Mr.. Mott-Smith |
here mentioned that Governor Dole |
and himself had discovered a quarry on |
the Waikiki side of the hill which was
easy of access to the section where the |
work was needed on the roads. To this |
Mr.. Boyd replied that II was strange |
that the Governor should not have said |
a word about that discovery when he |
tMr. Boyd had laid the whole difficult |
ty before the executive council. In
answer to Mr.. Mott-Smith and the |
president, he stated that II would not |
cost $4,000 to remove the crusher.

MIR. Mott-Smith has just said" pro-

Governor had selected a suitable place |
for the crusher. If this had been told !,

position" Having thus spoken, Mr..
Boyd picked up his hat and walked
out turning in the gateway through
the counter to bow with the remark:
Il thank you, gentlemen of the Board
Of Health, for your courteous hearing"
II was after the next order of bust
