Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1903-10-30


owned and controlled by the Waikiki
Sugar Company. In one place hole
/ 10" x Is" was found in one Of the
fumes built across the road, almost in
the center of the road. This hole was
about 2l' deep. Were a horse or man
to step into this hole it would result
disastrously. All along this road the
fumes were composed of rotten and
miserable material. Pools Of water
were occasioned by the overflow from
rotten and ill.conducted fumes. A
piece OF board Is handed in to the bail.
III Of this court as a sample Of what
the material is like that is used for
building purposes for the fumes. This
piece of wood was taken from the
above mentioned hole, after which the
hole was filled up by this committee
with rocks, in order to avoid any acct.
dent. We recommend that this road
be at once put in proper repair by the
Waikiki Sugar Company, whose fault
IL is, and that they be made to pay all
charges connected with repairing the
same, should the Road Board be com.

As to Hacks.
"4th. We have Investigated the mat.
ter of hacks. We find that the rules
and regulations governing hacks. their
fares. etc, ETC., are not being lived up
to at all. Hack drivers and proprietors
OF the various stables are in the habit
OF charging whatever they please, ir-
respective of the proper charge. We
recommend that copy Of the rules and
regulations governing hacks be placed
In every vehicle. in order that people
using the same can find out what Is
the proper charge. The majority Of the
hacks In and around Wailuku are in a
very poor condition. and are really I'M
safe. We recommend that the police
department see that each and every
hack Is In proper condition. In a mum.
Der Of instances we found drivers with
out their proper badges, showing that
they are not licensed to drive. II 10
entirely wrong that the lives Of the
people OF this community and visitors
should be placed in jeopardy by not
having proper men to drive the hacks
We find many Of the japanese hack
drivers who actually do not know on
what side of the road to keep.
obstruetin9 a Street.
18th The ObstruCting OF Market
street in Waikiki we find an increas-
ing evil. The peddlers and fish mong-
ers infcst this district, blocking the
street, and thereby menacing the pub
lie at large Offensive OdOrs also men
ace the people living in and around
Market street. We recommend that a
suitable market be built in some CEN
trail location, to be used by these fish
HOngers and other peddlers. Two To-
! cations have been pointed out to MS,
one back Of Antoine Borba's store and
In front of the Maui Stables. Here
there is large lot and a suitable mar
, ECt should be built here such as al
ready exists at Hilo. The people using
this market should be made to pay rent
b.. for their stalls. and we feel confident
that the rent thus taken in would very
soon pay for the entire building Oul
examination In this respect included
the questioning OF our Fish Inspector
Mr.. VIM. KukOna. BY having the great
Icr part Of the fish sold from this mar
ket, II would enable this Fish Inspector
to examine the same. He could Sc,
that they were fresh, and we feel sure
that thereby the public at large would
be saved considerable Sickness cspec,

Immediately by the proper authOritie!
