Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1905-09-30

The item for the road to connect the
Waialae road with the Diamond Head
road failed to pass the third reading,
as the property through which the pro.
posed road had to pass is private prop.
erty, that is owned by the trustees OF
Gear. Lansing & Co.
The item for matchmaking the Wal.
alae road passed. but when the Coun.
ty Bill became law the roads and
road work went over to the Counties.
The president and committee then
took the matter up with the Supervi.
sors, explaining to them the action al
ready taken by the club in the prem.
ises, and also offering to furnish all
the rock required, II the Government
would use a portable crusher on the
work.
The Supervisors received the COM
mittee and promised that the work
would be taken up as soon as funds
could be had for the purpose, also
agreeing to make q good Job of same,
when undertaken.
So after hard work on the part of
the club, the sought for improvement
to the Waialae road is In sight, and
wan bS otoi'Nu q ohoit tlihtt We aIt
informed.
the Club has also taken up the mat.
ter OF tree.planting for the several
roads and cross roads, and have had
started, under the direction OF Mr..
Haughs, about 5000 trees OF various
kinds, which will be ready for plant.
Ing about the end OF this year, or the
first part OF next.
| The committee In charge of this
branch Of the work have had prepared
quite an elaborate plan and, when car.
ried out, the districts Of Kaimuki, Pa.
lolo and Waialae will be among the
most scenic on the Island.
The club also looked into the water
supply and the conditions OF the res.
ervoirs. ETC., and We are glad to say
that the condition Of the reservoir and
the water supply is better today than
1t was year ago.
So much for the past years work.
Now few words as to plans that your
president thinks should be taken up
by the club, and Its officers, the com.
ing year.
First. Steps should be taken to In.
terest the various property owners
along the Waialae road, to have the
lrontages to their property cleared and
fenced, so that when the road Is put In
shape the property on either side will
harmonic With same.
Second. The matter of waiting
station at the end of the car line
should be taken up with the officers
Ut the Rapid Transit Co.; as 1t Is now,
the people going or coming from town
have to stand In the rain or sun while
waiting for the cars, with no place OF
shelter. Your president believes that
should a waiting station be built, more
people will visit this section of the
country and, in time, become so charm
ed with the climate OF Kaimuki, Pa
lolo and Waialae that they would be-
come residents OF same.
! Third. The water supply should be
looked into; while the water supply
1 at present is good. still, should the
| country be built up, as, from present
indications, no doubt 1t will be, the
reservoir now In use will not be large
enough to accommodate everybody
unless the pumps are run day and
right, which would be quite costly to
the government.
The club should work for a large res
ervoir at the next session OF the Leg
islature.
Fourth. The condition of the cross
roads should be taken up with the
owners thereof, and some agreement
reached, for the opening and clearing
of same, and to eventually have same
taken over by the Government. When
