WA|ANAE POLICE FOUND To BE
BAD ALL THROUGH,

!
a few days.
| Mr.. Moore said the right of way
| through the property. it had been
stated by the Improvement Committee
/ of that district, would be free
Thought that before the road is put
/ through beyond the Bishop estate
property the board should have, in
writing. a continuous right of way.
The chair said the Committee on
Roads and Bridges should get that
right of way. and Mr.. Moore moved
that such a communication be sent
to the property owners along the route.
When this is granted the work of
building the road should begin and not
before.
FROM MR.. HOLLOWAY.
The following communication was
received from Mr.. Holloway of the
Public Works Department, dated April
so:
"A long time ago the Territory sold
certain homesteads at Paumalu and
Pupukea, on this island, reserving so
feet right of way for the government
road and at the present time none of
the lands are fenced and the road is
not clearly defined. One of the clauses
in the homestead agreement provides
that purchasers shall fence their prop
erty within a certain time and appli-
cation has been made to Commissioner
of Public Lands for the lines of the
government road. L would suggest
that the County Supervisors instruct
the County Engineer to lay out this road
and I shall be very glad to approve its
location as soon as the plan is sub
mitted.
Mr. Lucas said, There is a little
joker in this communication. 1t is a
matter of history that the Land De-
partment has the funds for the pur-
pose mentioned; the Commissioner had
so stated to him and he is the one to
locate the road.
After a whisper with Mr.. Gere. SUI
pervisor Moore said the County Engi-
neer could give some information on
the subject. Mr.. Gere said the Superin-
tendent referred to the belt road down
by the Reform School. The trustees
of the school and the Land Commits
sioner wanted to locate the road along
the r. r. tracks and if they had
half a chance they would do it. Then
the people would fence. and if there
was desire in the future to change
the road. right of way would have to
be bought. Thought the county had
better go ahead and locate the road.
Mr.. Moore moved to refer to County
Engineer with power to act. Carried.
Another communication from the Su-
perintendent of Public Works was read.
1t was in regard to data compiled by
A, f. Murphy relating to house num-
bering in Honolulu. Mr. Holloway said
he would be pleased to turn over the
books to the county as soon as an in
ventory is made and receipted for by the
proper official. The road inventories
have not been signed for by the County
Supervisors.
County Clerk was instructed to sign
for the inventory.
A. E. Murphy reported numbering
houses and erecting street names
throughout the city.
The following report from Road Su-
pervisor Johnson was read:
