considered there vas some discussion
as to whether work should be started
on the matchmaking OF the Kaimuki
road or the Waikiki road. Lucas was
for going at both at once and he finally
won out, motion TO that effect by
Adams being carried. There was some
talk as to whether the Waikiki road

in before matchmaking or after. Moore
suggested that II the macadam was laid
first the new road would be all cut up

marked that he lived out In that sec.
