badly needed there and it was urged
that an amount of not less than $500 a
month be appropriated for road work.
c. L. Rhodes, who was present,
stated that the increase of families
living in the valley, called for a good
road to the homesteads. At present
no adequate road existed and in bad
! weather the settlers suffered great
/ hardships for want of a good road.
| Rhodes thought that the road want
| ed might be completed for $1,000.
The matter was referred to a COM
| mittee.
! A. V. Bolster wrote the board to
| complain of the garbage department
| dumping Objectionable waste material
| on Chas. Broad's lot between Vine
yard and Kukui streets.
/ Sam Johnson said that the garbage
department was not guilty
Moore stated that Broad was using
waste material from the wharves. The
Board of Health desired the thing
stopped as it was not sanitary and
there had been much sickness in the
district.
The matter was left to the Board of
Health for action.
1t seems that pond is being form
ed in the lot and that bad smells arise
therefrom.
A petition was read from residents in
the vicinity of Punchbowl street and
CASTOR lane, asking for macadamized
road.
Inventories of property belonging to
the now defunct district road boards
for turning over to the Superintendent
of p11h
ed in and tabled until the complete
inventories are received by the board.
The following resolution was pre-
sented by Adams:
Be it Resolved, That $25, 900, the
amount of the bond given by County
Treasurer r. H. Trent, not being suffi-
cient, and having authority by Section
g. Chap. 8, of the County Act, to re-
quire additional bond or increased Sc
curity, we hereby notify said r. H.
Trent that an additional bond of $25,-
COO is herewith required and that same
be submitted to the board within 80
days for approval
The resolution was adopted.
1t is understood that Trent has him
self requested that his bond be in
creased.
A discussion of the estimates of ex-
pense of the various departments for
the ensuing month followed and the
town and country members wrangled
for half an hour as to what amount
each division should receive for road
work.
Adams called the attention Of the
chair to combination which he said
Archer had spoken of, composed of
representatives who, if they
rx-bo
road work of their respective districts, |
ma teS.
The chair refused to entertain such |
a combination.
A deadlock of ideas followed
The country estimates for November
are:
Koolauloa, $500; Koolaupoko, $500;
Waianae, S40O; Waialae. $1,000; Papu-
Sea road, $1,000; Eva, $4,000.
Lucas asked for $4,000 for Honolulu
It was suggested that the estimate be
cut down $4,000.
Lucas said that he had spent $4,000 al J
'ead this month and that there was
olenty of money with which to appro-
1riate the $4,000 he asked for.
Adams remarked that the board had
to pay off laborers every ff-

appropriated there would not be enough
money left to meet the demands of
he mid-month payday
After a fruitless waste of words the
Meeting was adjourned until tomorrow
vening.
Alter the meeting had adjourned the
hartman called the board together
gain and Road Supervisor Sam John
on was notified to stop all work on the
Dads pending the result of Thursdays
Meeting of the board. ,
If the work goes on until Thursday
he expenses for the present month will
mount to $4,000 and if only $4,000 are
D be appropriated this will tie up the '
toad Department in such a way as to
ripple its immediate usefulness.
Sam Johnson issued orders last night
