ccount of election work the minutes of
to extend an invitation to the newly
d the meetings and see how it is done.
/ Session Laws of 1905. The amount in
question is, in my opinion, such an
F., amount as is provided for" the year
1906, as contemplated by Section Ga of
! Chapter IA of the County Act, but not
payable until January. 1907.
! The present Board of Supervisors
| will not go out of office until the
seventh day OF January, 1907, at noon,
and until that time the board has the
power of disbursing public moneys
which have already been provided
for for the year 1906. / can see no
reason why the present Board OF Su-
pervisors could not contract debts or
obligations to be paid out of this re-
serve fund which is payable within the
first fifteen days of January, 1907
Otherwise it would simply mean that
considerable amount of necessary
public work would have to stop for
the lack of funds, a condition which
was never contemplated by the Legis-
lature when the Act in question was
framed. Respectfully yours.

County Attorney County of oahu.

STREETS FOR COUNTY.
The following letter was read and re-
ferred to the County Engineer for his
opinion:
Honolulu. T. H., November 10, 1906.
Mr.. John Lucas, Chairman, Road Com
mittee, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: The owners of the land
of Pilipili, in Manoa valley, Oahu, are
about to subdivide the tract and offer
II for sale in house lots.
The tract contains 81 acres, and out
of this, something like or s acres will
be given over in streets. The streets
have been carefully located with a view
and to connect up the various resi-
dence tracts in a manner that will per-
feet an extended street system that
might be said to be in line for desir-
able future permanent improvements.
a blue print showing the street sys-
TEN for Pillpili was submitted to the
superintendent of Public Works yes
terday and received his approval as to
location.
1t will be seen on the duplicate print
furnished herewith that IL Metcalf and
Male street extensions and one OF the
cross streets are acquired by the gov
eminent. ii will at once give the valley
the much desired circuit connections,
and at the same time do much toward
obtaining the connecting drive to the
Waikiki Kaimuki section which Is re-
commended by Mr., ]. milford Robin
son as desirable.
These streets are now being sub
graded, and If the County OF oahu will
macadamize and agree to maintain
them, the owners will deed to the Ter
rltory for the consideration of sl.00.
Application has been made for water
mains aud IL Is hoped to have these
placed immediately after the grading
Is completed.
These general improvements will
mean much to the development of the
valley, and I trust that In view of in
creased tax returns and convenience TO
the public that the County Supervisors
will feel justified in accepting this
proposition.
I might add that there is an album
dance OF stone over the premises that
can be easily worked through a port
able orusher, thus making construction
decidedly cheap,
Aside from the foregoing reasons. It
will be seen that the road system as
laid out win give the public land of
