Superintendent OF Public Works
Holloway is about to drive me around
the city that | may observe what has
been accomplished in the way OF gen.
sral improvements in the last two
months.
Upon my return from the mainland
trip was most agreeably surprised by
the completion of several improvements
| had in mind. One OF the first things
noticed was the completion OF tho
pathways in the Capitol grounds and
the opening OF the gate AT the corner
OF Richards and King streets. | found
cause to congratulate Mr.. Holloway on
this much.needed public benefit. II
was a great inconvenience for the pub
lie coming from or going to town, to
or from the Capitol, to have to walk
way round to the main entrance to the
grounds on King street. Then ! was
most pleasantly surprised by the work
under way on public parks and the
beautifying of vacant lots. For this
the credit is entirely due to Mir. Atkin.
son as Acting Governor. Now that the
pace Is set, ! hope the good work will
continue uninterrupted. that Honolulu

doing a great deal of good work.

ments have been contracted for. This
does not include the great wharf i'm.

cred thousand dollars.
AS we must have the money on hand
ready for a continuation of public BEN
efits we will probably look to the float.
ing of more bonds this fall. When ]

about half a million. cannot now say
how much of loan we will find it
necessary to float to complete all the
work IL will be possible to perform
under the appropriations.

Of the Government: do not believe
that a sl50,000 building would be large

Since the old Judiciary building will
soon have to go, being unsafe, | favor
down that structure and erect !
