As to taking down fences all over
the city. u was stated that In some
instances where Il came TO be a ques-
tlon OF whether a new fence should be
erected or battered one taken down,

A letter was read from Superintend-
ene OF Public Instruction Babbitt stat
ing that It was not expedient or for the
benefit of students to have the stone
wall removed from the High School
premises. Mr.. Gartley said he had
heard one of the objections to its re-
moval was because it gave the young
lady students some privacy from the
street, and they enjoyed the freedom
of the yard during recesses under such
circumstances and would not II the
wall were removed. Mr. Gartley sug-
gested, however, that If the wall were
treated to a coating of paint it would
improve it's appearance.
The committee voted to take a large
number of the December Paradise of
the Pacific magazine, a special num-
ber and send the same to various

Mr. Spaldng referred to a CONVEX
sation on roads he had had with Su-
pervisor Adams. 1t was explained that
one reason why the county was putting
so many small side streets into good
condition was because the material
used was an accumulation of small
stones gathered during the crushing of
larger stones for street-making, and
that II would be only valuable to small
side streets. He said that the Super
visors wanted suggestions as to what
street repairs should be made; whether
Beretania street from Punchbowl to
Alapai should be attended to- or Wal
kiki road made decent, or Beretania
street from Alapai out Waikiki-way

the King street repairs out toward

Mr.. Lowrey said that If the King
street section in Palama was to be con-
sidered, the street should be widened
in many places. There were pieces of
property still jutting into the street.

should be made on Beretania street be-
tween Punchbowl and Alapai streets.
