Bridge Street Is
Widened
Now.

HILO, April 1.-At the request of the
Board of Trade. proceedings of which
are noted in another column, L. A.
Andrews of the road board has placed
seven dump carts at work on the ex-
tension and widening of Bridge street.
The magnificent palms on the part
about to be cut away have been given
to the Hilo park by Father Oliver.
Some apprehension is expressed about
the removal and subsequent placing
of the palms in the parks they can be
moved once only with safety, and had
the promise of the governor that a
at once to map out the park, been
kept, no difficulty would be feared as
1t is no one is prepared to say just
where they should go.-Herald
THE BOARD OF TRADE
AT the Board of Trade meeting held
on Tuesday night for the purpose of
electing it's officers, Mr.. Brughelli gain
ed additional laurels as a public spirit
ed citizen by his repudiation of the
statement, as shown in the minutes
of the previous meeting, that he had
placed man, a mule and cart at
the disposal of the Road Board in the
hope of reimbursement at some future
date.
Mr. Brughelli stated in most empha-
tic terms that he had donated, fully
and freely, the services of the afore-
said man, mule and cart in the hope
that other citizens might follow suit,
and by doing away with the menace
to public safety existing at the Wal
luku bridge, and probably by the eX-
tension of Bridge street to Volcano
street, convince the members of a di
latory Road Board that improvements
of this character must and would be
attended to, funds or no funds.
1t is needless to state that the min
utes We're corrected and Mr.. Brughelli
warmly applauded by the citizens pres
