"AaIa lane is rather fat but there is
no water standing nm II after a rain
and while proper macadamizine wouId
helm its appearance and smootbnoss II
would NOT materially alter its sanitary
condition.
"Kukui street. Eva of the stream is
in a deplorable state, not due SO much
to the fault of the street as m an ,uwoi
which has broken its hanks and sought
another outlet with the resuIt thar tho
piece Of street is impassable AT nras-
ent. Its appearance is n great deal
worse than its sanitary condition
VINEYARD street In heavy weather IL
six inches deem in mud but there arc
no low places In II All wafer rms off
or course when the street Is so muddy
It Is difficult for the garbage and exca.
vator carts to do as thorougb work
as should be done and n good road
would helm matters vet in itsnI, m.
street is in nowise menace to the
health Of the inhabitants Of the vlciD-
ity'
Llllha street Is in a chaotic state.
due TO the work once begun not hav-
ing been finished. All the street drains
well, and the street is not a nuisance
except that II is hard on the vehicles
and those in them.
School street is all right A little
work on the same would improve 1t.
To sum up in a few words. there
are two places which need attention
from a sanitary standpoint, King street
at the junction of the Prison road and
the piece of Kukui street Eva of Nuu-
anu stream. 1t is admitted that i'm.
proving the condition of the streets
VIII TO certain extent help sanitary
matters, but there Is no crying need
Tor such work at the present time"

read, the president said the Board
would be glad to hear Mr.. Boyd upon
the subject Of his letter received a.
