ditChes etc, and re-surfacng rough
places caused by the heavy rain Of
April, 275O feet of the Ahuimanu road
was reconstructed during the month
at the approximate cost of 10 cents per
foot As the work was nearly COM
pleted work has been pursued with the
expectancy of finishing on the 9Th at
an estimated cost of $3.50
Permission was given the County by
Mr. Weldon. superintendent Of the Ka-
neohe ranch, to develop a quarry about
two miles from the foot of the Pail
and a very good quarry has been devel-
oped. About 800 feet of road has been
constructed to connect the quarry with
the main road.
The face of the rock has been strip
ped and a site reserved for placing ma
chnery and bunkers. The lumber for
the bunkers is on the ground, framed
and ready for erection, awaiting the
arrival of bolts.
An agreement has been made with
Lord & Beser to move the crusher
and engine from Honolulu to quarry
site for the agreed price of 800.
I regret to report that one of the
laborers was injured on Saturday, the
End inst, through an explosion of pow
der. He was attended to by Dr. Wa
terhouse. who haA him removed to the
Queens Hospital. Other than brok-
en- arm and few bruises, he is all
right.
To carry on the work for Koolaupo-
ko for the next month, I would ask
for an appropriation of $3.50 to be eX-
pended as follows:
Regular pay roll, $135; stable ac-
count, $25; quarry $3.50; incidentals,
$3.50: to complete Ahuimanu road, $3.50:
to complete Homestead road $500; $3.50.
The only work in Koolauloa has been
the construction of Kaipapau culvert
and a few days labor expended be-
tween Aiea and Kahuku, removing a
sand bank from the road. The bill for
the latter is not in.
The Kaipapau culvert has cost %
date, $159O.46. made up as follows: Road
dept. Honolulu, $50; Levers & Cooke,
S32. 90: Levers & Cooke, $31S1 Allen &
Robinson. $3.50; II. Hackfeld & CO..
S293O1: Theo. H. Davies, $112.5O; Cotton
Bros, $79.75: J. A. CrOwder, $4,000; Hoff-
schlaeger "a: Kamalolo, $4425; Kulu-
waimaka, $3.50; Sylvester, 1925; Chun
Hin. $40; E. Renkin, $1,000; Kawa-
moto, 80 cents; O. r. & L. Co.. $685.
Hawn. Stockyards, $40; Lucas Bros,
S1O.93: S159O46.
I am confident this work will be COM
pleted inside the original estimate of
$4,000, and ask the Board for an appro-
priation of $500 to complete the same.
The survey for a road through the
Pupukea homesteads has practically
been completed, $2OO.99 having been
expended thereon during the month.
AS soon as the data can be worked up.
the same will be- presented to the
Board.
Work in Waialua has been confined
to the construction and fencing of the
Waialua- Honolulu main road with the
following exception:
Clearing Paalau, $13; breaking stone
for crusher, 1852. so; freight on crusher
and engine, $780, $206,S9.
Main road: Regarding: Team, $4OS;
labor 1888; $766.
Fencing; Material, $l6i.O5; labor
$2C225; $S66.3O
Tools and powder SIPS; road over
ser, SIS; $S7.25.
Total, $l426.44.
The new road is graded from the
lower end to a point just below the
upper reservoir total distance of !
II miles The major portion of the
fence is in place, but the gaps will not
be closed until the new road has had
a chance to settle.
There remains one mile of the road
yet to grade and I am i'm hopes it can
be finished this month.
/ would ask that an appropriation Of
$1,000, be made to carry on the work
i'm Waialua district.
