auction to help pay the expenses.
Road Supervisor johnson, being con-
suited, said he could not tell what it
would cost, but he had gang to go
down there in the morning. Answering
further queries he said it was intended
to keep up work on School, Nuuanu.
Queen, Fort and Houghtailing streets.
Lucas understood there was $4,000 in
the loan bill for widening Nuuanu

johnson said the right of way had
not yet been procured from all the
owners. ia
| Adams said there was no use in the
Board going beyond the bridge until
the Territory did the widening Re-
plying to remark by Lucas he went
on to say he did not see any use in
going into the Queen street repairs just
then. They should finish up all the
odds and ends of road work already
begun, and then they could see their
way clear for other work. He mem
toned several partly finished streets
where the money should go first.

Adams said he had looked at that
piece of roadway that day and doubt

suitable for the heavy traffic. They
ought to inspect and compare different

which would not have to be renewed
every eight or twelve months.
