Referring to the item of 800, 900 gen,
aral emergency for roads and bridges
Mr. Cooper says that there is great
need for a fund of this kind for un-
foreseen emergencies. Much work is
left undone because there is no fund
from which deficiency can be sup
piled He states further that the ap-
preparation OF $4,000 made by the last
Legislature for road damages on al
Islands was entirely too small. SO thai
II became necessary to make exchanges
OF public lands for rights of way ant
sites for public improvements. Ample
funds at the disposal of the Depart
ment would make possible prompt anC
economical settlement with owners o
property required by the government
With regard to the item OF $50 900 fol-
a Hawaiian building at the St. Louil
Exposition, the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works says:
