MOLOKAI TELEPHONE LINE.
John Cassidy appeared before the
Board, at the request of President Coo
per, to report on his survey of the pro-
posed telephone line from the Settle
ment to other points on Molokai He
said the appropriation of $4,000 was
very light for srch heavy piece of
work, but If he had the money, to so
to men who had the material with, he
thought something could be done. The
worst junges he had ever been in had
to be penetrated in crossing the two
pals up there. The appropriation was
within the six months limit and 1t
would take some time to get material
from the coast. The first requisite
was the money. In answer to DR..
Cooper, he said the $4,000 would make a
beginning. Yes" he answered Mr..
Robinson, at would be finished job"
The work would be entirely out of the
line of specifications. There were
gulches there where n space of 1900
feet would have to be shot. He sug-
gested that it would be sufficient to
have the work done under the super
vision Of Superintendent McVeigh.
President Cooper stated that he
would bring the matter up at the ex-
ecutive council meeting on Monday and
find out If the money was available.
