NJ. +. Prosser, appearing for Hack.
teld and Spencer streets residents,
said there was crying need for ma.
Cadam on Hackfeld street. All the
machinery was in that neighborhood:
the job was a small one and the ma
cadamizing OF HaCkteld was necessary
to complete the improvement OF the
district. He thought he could get the
residents to curb.
The kakaako improvement Club
sent in petition asking that the law
lands of kakaakO be filled in.
Adams thought the Kakaako petition
should go to the Territory. He moved
that 1t be referred to the Public
Works. Carried.
CURLING and automobile ordinances
were read by title and passed second
reading.
Lucas suggested calling for tenders
for storm drain for HaCkfeld street.
sam Johnson said the road department
could do the job cheaper itself
Adams was for deterring macadam.
lzing Hackfeld street until other urg.
Cnt work was accomplished.
Archer was for immediate action.
The Chair said there would be an.
other meeting OF the Board on the 18th
In the meanwhile the matter could be
more carefully looked into.
| Lucas reported the Pail road In bad
condition. He thought that the work
should be put out to contract and the
road put in shape inside OF 80 days.
The bridge also should be fixed. Ten.
ters should at once be called for or
the Board should set aside money for
the repair OF the road. Moore said
: ped hate to have to roll steam roller
over the bridge as 1t is now.
Adams said some outside persons
would have to work II. Moore moved
that the Road Committee prepare spe
Cifications and call for tenders for the
work. Carried.
I Archer said he had talked with a tax
assessor and the latter had asked him
I to bring to the attention of the Board
the fact that a lot of road workers had
/ not paid their taxes.
DO you think this Board should be
a collection agency" asked the Chair
Moore didn't think Government EN-.
/ ployes should go free OF taxes.
! Paele said that in his district he had
told the assessor to call on the men
! IN pay day.
| Lucas said that at his mill the man.
agement held out money to pay the
mems taxes.
1T seems the sense of the Board,
said Smith, that the County members
| inform the road overseers that men
who don't pay their taxes won't be
employed"
Paele asked for steam roller and
rock Crusher for his district. The
cost will be asCertained and the mat.
