THE VOLCANO
ROAD AGAIN

VuiCker tne better. But there was one
spot which Governor Carter promised
should have immediate attention and
since his visit 1t has MADE great strides
for the worse. This is upper Volcano
road and the necessity for repairs in
this highway is emphasized by the pres
ence of large party of tourists, who
viii never forget the jolting they get
on their way to the Volcano House.
| The heavy rains that fell soon after
Governor Carriers visit plowed new fur
rows in upper Volcano road and made
II indeed IA picturesque spot which will
not escape the eye and the finer sensi-
bilities of any person who drives over
1t in any vehicle besides a palanquin.
1t was the opinion of the Governor
when he inspected the road that he
could scrape together enough money
to Tx 1t up. He assured the people in
Olaa that he would press the proper
button as soon as he reached Honolulu
and that somebody would do the rest.
| Whether the button has been pressed or
not the road is worse than 1t ever was.
Another spot where travel and traf-
fic is impeded to the great benefit of the
blacksmith and wagon makers is the
upper Kaumana stretch. The Governor
inspected this road from the back of n
good saddle horse and yet could not fail
to see the necessity for spending a slice
OF the loan bill upon II at once. Upon
this road of boulders and lava scraps,
horse shoes disappear like snow balls
In the sun. The loan bill was tapped
by the last legislature for $4,000 for
this road. Its early expenditure would
not only greatly facilitate business up
kaumana way, but ii would add to the
quantity of circulating medium" ~
this vicinity, which is needed almost as
badly as rain.-Hilo Tribune.

The six Maui representatives do not
desire special session of the legislature
unless the Supreme Court decides ad-
versely in regard to the legality of the
use of the old schedule of appropria-
tons, and in case that another session
Is convened they desire to confine leg
slative action strictly to the appropria-
ton bill

in accord with their Maui confreres.
