Honolulu, T. H.. August 16, 1906.
Hon. Geo. w. Smith, Chairman, Board
of Supervisors, County of Oahu,
T. H.
Sir: Your Committee on Sanitation
and Health, to whom was referred the
letter of c. S. Holloway, Superintend-
ent of Public Works, regarding the con-
struction and maintenance of laun-
dry building at Iwilei, beg leave to
report as follows:
In the first place, the laundries are
under the direct supervision of the
Board of Health; the Board of Health
is a Territorial institution, and the
Board of Supervisors would have no
control OF the institution should they
undertake the construction of same.
The communication from Mr.. Hollo-
way shows net profit to the Territory
Of $4,000 per annum, which is good
revenue from the amount that it would
be necessary to invest but If the in
stitution would pay so well, why did
the Territorial Superintendent of Pub
lie Works not carry out the orders of
the Legislature and expend the s14,500
that was appropriated for this pur-
pose?
Secondly, your committee fails to see
the justice of investing the taxes of
the people in the construction Of laun-
dries, which must compete against pri-
vate enterprises. If it is absolutely
necessary that new buildings be con-
structed in order to maintain sanitary
conditions, it would be an easy matter
to find private individuals who would
be glad to invest the amount of money
required, for the returns that are avail
able.
Your committee would therefore rec
ommend that the letter of the super
intendent of Public Works be cour-
teously answered, declining the privi-
lege of managing and maintaining
laundries. Very respectfully yours,
H. T. MOORE,
F. X. ARCHER,
Committee on Sanitation and Health.
The report of County Auditor Bick-

A report from Road Supervisor John
son on the condition of the Kapuhaki ,
Hill road was referred to the Commit
tee on Roads and Bridges.
PLAYED FOR SUCKERS.
The following communication was
read and referred to the Committee
on Roads and Bridges:
Honolulu, L. H., August is, 1906.
D. Kalauokalani, Esq, Clerk, County
of Oahu, Honolulu.
Sir: Some time ago the Territory of
Hawaii acquired certain land from the
Kapiolani and Bishop estates for the
extension of Halekauwila street from
Punchhowl to South street. Before
this road was cut through, the County
Government went into effect and the
Board of Supervisors for this county
have recently been constructing the ex-
tension and macadamizing the same.
Under the agreement with the Bishop
and Kapiolani estates, the Territory
was to construct stone curbing along
the property lines of these two estates
on the extension, and 1t seems to me
that inasmuch as the County of Oahu
has assumed control of the roads on
this island that this agreement should
be carried out by the Supervisors.
The Territory is without funds to
complete this agreement and l would
request that you present this matter
to the Board of Supervisors at the next
meeting, and advise me of any action
taken at that time, Yours respect
fully, C. $. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Works.
Its no good referring it," said
Lucas. We've no money. We're be-
