Honolulu, T. H., August 10, 1906.
Hon. Geo w. Smith, Chairman, Board
of Supervisors, County of Oahu,
T. II.
Sir: Your Committee on Sanitation
and Health, to whom was referred the
letter of G. S. Holloway, Superintend-
ent of Public Works, regarding the con-
struction and maintenance of a 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 S14.50o
that was appropriated ser-nthis- puf-.
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 he 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.

PLAYED FOR SUCKERS.
The following communication was
read and referred to the Committee
on Roads and Bridges:
Honolulu, T. 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
KapioIani and Bishop estates for the
extension of Halekauwila street from
Punchbowl 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 I
was to construct stone curbing along ,
he property lines of these two estates +
IN the extension, and 1t seems to me +
hat inasmuch as the County of oahu +,
las assumed control of the roads on 9
his island that this agreement should
,e carried out by the Supervisors.
The Territory is without funds to r
ompIete this agreement and L would r
eouest that you present this matter
O the Board of Supervisors at the next i
neeting, and advise me of any action
AIKEN at that time. Yours respect
ully, c. ;. HOLLOWAf' +,
superintendent Of Public Works
