Residents of the Nuuanu. tract pre-
scented themselves and a generously
signed petition. asking that the ROADS
OF Laimi be put into condition and that
the bridge leading to the tract be re-
planked.

taken up land from land shark" thcy
should be looking to the County

Schnack being termed land-shark.
Whittle said he was no sucker" lie
was satisfied with what he had oh.
tained. but he wanted the approaches
put In decent condition,
i Another petitioner complained of the
laughs of the populace when he. going
home laden with groceries. stumbled on
the stony road and broke a bottle OF
Jam and bottle OF olives. He also
said that there were holes In the bridge
big enough for him 10 put his leg
through.

TO encourage the petitioners any.

OF oahu. resident OF Pacific Heights,
presented himself before the Board at
the head OF a delegation representing
the residents. taxpayers and property
! owners In and around the district OF

the attention II Is entitled TO. In view
OF the fact that the adjacent valleys OF
Kalihi and Manoa have steadily gone

expended by the government for rights
of way. and other benefits. whereas In
the case OF Pauoa Valley the rights OF
4 way and materials are donated, thereby
saving the government large sums OF
money.
The petitioning gentlemen urged that
immediate steps be taken for the ex-
tension OF Fort street. making a horse
shoe road In Pauoa Valley, maps and
surveys OF which have been completed
by the government. A blue print copy
was enclosed with the petition.

the matter Finally some $500 or $500
per month may be voted for the realiza-
