Senator Paris as follows:
To Honorable George r. Carter. Gov
ernor of the Territory of Hawaii
] In anticipation of your Excellency':
visit to the Districts of North and
South kona on your tour of the Island
OF Hawaii, and acting upon your ex-
pressed desire to hear of the wants and
needs of the various districts through
which you passed, a meeting of the res
idents OF the said Districts of North and
South kona was had, in order that the
opinion of the majority as to needed
improvements might be expressed. AT
that meeting the undersigned were APP
pointed committee to set forth to your
Excelency the opinions there expressed
and do SO as follows:
There are appropriated by the provi-
slonS OF Act is, Laws 1903, for improve
ments to be made in the aforesaid dis
tricts, the following sums, which we set
forth together with the reasons urged
for the. immediate expenditure of the
same, as follows:
-Four thousand dollars extension of
the upper through road from KaIahiki
to Honokua- When constructed this
piece of road will be a benefit not only
to the people of these districts. but to
the travellers of the entire Island: more
over, the constructing of this road will
open up tract of arabic land now I'M
touched by the present road in it's |
course nakai toward Hookena
Ten thousand dollars road joining /
nauka part of present Keauhou road |
With kailua. The construction of this
Dad, about four miles, will enable the !
of the districts, Kau side of
Aeauhou, to get their freight from Ho-
lolulu steamers one day sooner than
It present from Napoopoo, and over an
# over road averaging six per cent,
which they must now use. Further
more, the contemplated road will pass
through tract of land eminentIy suit
d to the cultivation of sisal, pineap-
les, etc.
Seven hundred and fifty dollars per
1onth for maintenance of roads in
'orth kona. We particularly urge the
of the full amount of this {
and call your attention !
} the fact that our roads are mostly !
art of the belt road encircling the is {
md, and that no money has been ex-
ended on them for the last i've
onths. The recent storms have done
reat damage, and travel on the roads !
their present condition viii eventr-
ly entail great expense. 1t would be
onomy to repair at once :
Out of current funds there appropriat-
$6,00O.00 for widening and improving
e road from Huihui toward Waimea,
10000 for road from Papa to Alika, )
Id 100000 for road south of Keohe,
I'd safeguarding and topdressing road Z
ar Kau boundary. We urge that as
UGH of these appropriations as is pos Q
Die be expended in these localities, as Z
of these roads are part of the :
rough road around the Island, and Of .
nefit to the people of the entire IS =
Id. And in this connection we urge )
at the said through road now unfin- =
led for three miles this side of Wal =
a be completed as soon as possible. {
We further urge that the Government x
icy of preserving forests be con-
ued, particularly in relation to Ho-
lla Homesteads, formerly surveyed .
Withdrawn from operation of home
ad law by former Governor Dole.
We recommend that the two districts 9
North and South Kona be consoIi-
ed, with one district magistrate, one .
'uty sheriff, and two police captains. =
that a suitable courthouse and jail g
built at some central location ON 9
upper road, and request that your
uence be used toward effecting leg
tion to that end.
Ee would also call your attention to
fact that the Third Circuit has no
able courthouse, and that a new one
uld be built. We recommend that
new one is to be built, that it be
ced at some central point on the up
road.
1e call your attention also to the
that the accommodations of The
la-waena school house are entirety
lequate, and that new building Re
I'D be constructed there. So

is of North and South Kona, u
