HONOLULU CITY WORK.

For every one of the four months Hoo
nolulu city rTork has been carried on,
comprising street lines and grades for
buildings, curbs, street construction,
Rapid Transit Co.'s tracks, etc. Street
monument work has also been steadily
advanced. The old way of erecting
stone pillars at street corners, has prov
ed unsatisfactory, as private owners
would sometimes remove the landmarks
in making their own improvements.
Monuments are now being placed in the
streets. on lines parallel with street
bounds. They consist of pieces of pipe
enclosing copper bolts. Data concern
ing them are kept in the Office and the
serve also as bench marks
from which to calculate elevations.
Work was done in January on Bates
street grade and lines, but the con-
struction was discontinued. In Feb
ruary survey, plan and description
were furnished for the new site for
stables at Kewalo, also a
profile and cross section for grades of
School street extension. More was done
