these parks.
Then Lucas said he wanted $1,000 to

purpose. 1t said the county would
have to look after these things.
Moore said he understood that the
legislature appropriated $4,000 for the
pay of prison lunas, but there didn't
seem to be any money.
Those prisoners must be taken out
of prison and be exercised" said
Moore
Lucas objected to Secretary Atkinson
making promises to keep up private
parks such as the Young and Nuuanu.
Adams suggested paying the prison
luna for six days work and cut him
off at once from the payroll and send
him adrift. That was the easiest way
out of the difficulty. Adams suggest
ed notifying the Department of Pub
lie Works that the County won't have
any use for prison laborers on certain
parks.
In other words the private parks
Alex. Young, Union Square and Nuu-
anu-will have to shift for themselves.
Fire Department payrolls for depart

sented and allowed
Lucas introduced a resolution allow
ing the Honolulu park commission for
Kapiolani park, $3.50 for improvements.
Lucas presented a resolution appro-
priating $4,000 for the Road Depart
ment for September. Lucas said there
was a tremendous lot of work to be
done and finished all over the city.
The extension of Wilder avenue had
been promised for years. Ladies, in
rainy weather, had to take their shoes
off to get to the car. Kakaako was
a disgrace. The people there paid tax
es and voted and were entitled to some |
returns.

but I mean it,
"A delegation from Kaimuki wants |
some work done out there" said the |
chair
Yes, we should do that" said Lucas.
''It ought to be let on contract:
Let's finish up some of the work
already on. Liliha street, for instance"
said Adams.
Lucas said more men We're to be put
On Queen street today. Emma street
people objected to the dust. The Pa

cheaper than the county could. L
The chair suggested $4,000. 4
why, last month, 1 was like bird
without wings" said Lucas. CT was
behind; didn't have enough money" 4
Moore said that the present system
IF repairing roads was a farce. Tt
vas expensive. The last rain had ex-

It's like taking little lump of but
er and trying to spread it-all over the

Archer favored the $4,000 item. He
wanted good roads
There's lots of holes to fill up in |
his city" said Lucas.
Adams wanted to pay the road men
vice a month. He objected to S10,000,

Cox favored the $4,000 item.
Lucas reported that Trent had said
