WHAT THE NINTH
PRECINCT WANTS
A NEW DRIVING AVENUE UP TO
THE PAIL, ARBOR DAY AND
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.

A new driving avenue from the gov
eminent electric light station on the
Pail road down to King street. coming
out near the Kaiulani school is one Of
the things the Ninth Precinct Repub-
iican Club Of the Fifth District unani-
mously voted for last night
The plan contemplates picturesque
winding road beginning just beyond
Chinatown and on the edge of the
Palama-Kalihi residence district, rum
ming along the tortuous Asylum road
nearly to the Insane Asylum. then
skirting along the mountain on the
EVA side of Nuuanu valley, winding
i'm and out to Judd street thence by $.
NJ. Ballou's picturesque premises and
elegant mansion up to Wyllie street,
joining that avenue at Puunu avenue,
thence along the side of the mountain
on the Eva side of the valley until it
| approaches the reservoirs, where it
will defect to the right and join Nuu-
anu Pail road. Such a road, it is
claimed would never be invaded by
the Rapid transit and would always be
"A safe thoroughfare for horses and au-
tomobiles and great attraction to
tourists.
The connections it would make with
School street, now being extended to
Kalihi and with Wylie street, Judd
street and Kuakini street would make
it possible to drive from Punahou to
Kalihi without touching streets with
street cars on them, except to cross,
! ~
tions of the city together with safe and
well macadamized roads.
The club however, realizes that this
is time for retrenchment and have
therefore simply asked for survey
from the Public Works Department and
an estimate of cost. The people up
that way are firm i'm their conviction,
nevertheless, that the plan will be put
through sooner or later, possibly by
l the Legislature of 1907 The only part
asked for this year is the extension of
Judd street to meet Asylum road,
- which is said not TO be expensive.
The club also unanimously endorsed
to all the recommendations of Superin-
$ tendent of Public Works Holloway to
the governor for appropriations and
appointed a committee consisting of j.
d. Avery, E. Henriques and A. st. c.
S Piianaia to confer with the Superin-
S tendent in regard to his recommended
e tions and urge upon him the necessity
e. of keeping as many as possible of his
S original recommendations in his re-
+ vised recommendations to the governor
- to come within the governors limit foi
. the Fifth District.
% The Committee is also instructed I,
e endeavor through Representative Wa
10 terhouse who in turn will work frs
l. through the Fifth district delegation
+ in the House and the Oahu delegation
e in the senate. to secure the following
$ appropriations:
e A short road from the homesteads
y on the old Pail road along the banl
y of the reservoirs to the new Pail road
g Is feet wide. The government has
s now the right of way, so the expense
% would not be much.
t a re-setting of the lights in Nuuanl
o valley so as to light the entrance to tn,
= numerous lanes and a few new light.
d to be placed farther back i'm the lanes
S The extension of WaikahaIulu Ian,
e about 100 feet so as to make it connec
h with Kuakini road. This is a Ian,
o running along Nuuanu stream between
e School and Kuakim but stops tina
= much short.
s They are also to take up such re
quests as may be brought to it from
d other parts of the precinct and presen
y the same to the Representative from
o the ninth. Mr.. Waterhouse
y The precinct also suggests that tn,
e government acquire all lanes in tn,
e ninth and other precincts which al
$ though privately owned are publicl!
used. They also requested the Sup
erintendent of Public Works to instruc
the water rights commission now a
work on water rights in Pauoa an,
4 Kalihi to include Nuuanu valley as
:. well. 1t is thought better for the gov.
eminent to own all these water rights
~ in Nuuanu so as to prevent stagnan
n water pools, which breed both mos.
quitoes and malaria.
l. The precinct club also wants to Sc,
70 an Arbor day established. w. ]
: Coelho, one of the Maui representative,
n but whose family stilI reside i'm the
d ninth suggested the idea Of an Arbol
/. day being set apart and the school chill.
d dren utilize it to plant trees along the
a public thOrOughfares, especially the
driving streets I'm the neighborhood OF
y the school houses. The government tC
l. furnish the trees and dig the holes and
j. the children to plant the. trees with
appropriate ceremonies.
