The appropriation of forty or fifty
thousand dollars for the completion of
road through Koolau. Hama, has
caused considerable discussion among
the residents of Keanae, Nahiku. and
Hama. Some of them maintain that
twelve-foot carriage road is desirable
while their opponents declare that the
construction of such road would ex-
haust the appropriation by the time the
thoroughfare was completed to Keanae,
hence only the building of a six-foot
horse path to Kailua would be feasible.
In case of future appropriations, the
horse road could be gradually widened
into a carriage road. The old adage
of a half a loaf being better than no
bread is applicable, a twelve-foot car
riage road reaching only to Keanae be-
ing equivalent to mo bread
