The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-11-10

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 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 1t 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 a macadamized
road.
Inventories of property belonging to
the now defunct district road boards
for turning over to the Superintendent
of Public Works for record, were hand
| 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 s25,OO0, the
amount of the bond given by County
Treasurer r. II. Trent, not being suffi-
cient, and having authority by Section
&C. Chap s. 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 $685.
600 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
J work
Adams called the attention Of the
chair to a combination which he said
Archer had spoken of, composed of
, country representatives who, If they
didn't get what they wanted for the
road work of their respective districts,
would vote down the Honolulu esti-
mates.
, The chair refused to entertain such
a combination.
A deadlock of ideas followed.
The country estimates for November
are:
Koolauloa. $500: Koolaupoko, $500;
Waianae, $500; Waialae, $4,000; Papu-
kea road, $1,000; Eva. $4,000.
: Lucas asked for $4,000 for Honolulu.
1t was suggested that the estimate be
cut down $4,000.
Lucas said that he had spent $4,000 al
| read this month and that there was
plenty of money with which to appro
| pirate the $4,000 he asked for.
l Adams remarked that the board had
r promised to pay Off laborers every fif-
, teen days and said that If $4,000 were
q appropriated there would not be enough
I money left to meet the demands OF
the mid-month payday
After fruitless waste of words the
meeting was adjourned until tomorrow
=, evening.
Alter the meeting had adjourned tht
chairman called the board together
again and Road Supervisor Sam John
son was notified to stop all work on tn,
: roads pending the result of Thursdays
meeting of the board.
If the work goes on until Thursday
u the expenses for the present month will
amount to $4,000 and II only $4,000 arr
S 10 be appropriated this will tie up th'
q Road Department in such way as t
a cripple its immediate usefulness.
<. Sam Johnson issued orders last nigh
l. to stop all work.
