> enough to answer all charges nsade
against said Board.
Mr.. Low says he feels justified In
; Withholding further material until
: some action is taken on the road work
! to be performed in the vicinity of Aiea
station. We think this shows that Mr.
Low has only the interest OF his own
plantation at heart, and he seems to
forget that there are other sections OF
Eva district that require attention
from the Board of Supervisors, which
are as Justly entitled To have good
roads as the district around Alea
Your committee will say that they
feel that some OF the work done In
I Eva district shows extravaganza. We
refer particularly to the abutments and
work done on the bridge at waikaka-
| laua stream, but we cannot see that
this can be charged to neglect of any
individual, the work done showing that
too much labor was put in on the prep
aration of materials used.
The communication from the o. r.
& L. CO., dated May 18th, to Mr.. Ar
| cher, as a member of the Board of
supervisors, should have been present
ed by Mr.. Archer to this Board on May
2s; but this was overlooked by Mr..
Archer, he understanding that the com
munication simply called his attention
TO the fact that 1t would be necessary |
for the work done on the Peninsula |
road. to be kept within the right-of-way
granted by the Railroad Co. This
board has now in It's possession. a copy
of said letter, endorsed by a majority
nf fha tron .,ft Il o
and letter setting forth the fact that
the r. r. Co. will execute an agreement
with the government for the right-of-
way used for the road on the PENN
sula as soon as said work is completed.
This, we think, will answer the charge
that work has been done ON private
roads.
In conclusion this committee fails to
see any incorporation Of funds in
the district of Eva.
Respectfully submitted.

THE DISCUSSION.
The acceptance of the report was
moved by Supervisor Lucas, seconded
by Supervisor Paele, upon which the
chair called upon those present for re- =.
marks. bidding them speak now or for l.,
ever hold their peace.
McCandless asked that the letter from
the Oahu Railroad & Land Co., referred
to in the report, be read.
The three letters were read, the sub
stance of each being that the company y
was ready to deed the right of way of
he Peninsula road on Lihue street as
soon as the road was built according
% agreement. Archer explained why
lie had not turned in the first letter to
he board handing it to the road fore
nan for his instruction instead. !.
McCandless thought that the letters u
showed that Moore had said the thing V
hat was not. an imputation warmly .
lenied by Moore.
MY statements are as near true as :"
know how to make them. do not
ink they should be questioned by ~
omeone who does not know anything ~
bout the facts of the case"
Then the chair put number of ques-
ions as to the scope Of the work done, OF
doore producing Photographic proof al
hat the committee had gone over the OF
Dads and knew what they were talking 10
bout The chair promptly confiscated W
he photos and added them to the re- tn
ort as exhibits. IN
When the vote was called for the re- bt
ort was accepted with no noes. a!
EVERYBODY WANTS ROADS.
Lucas drew the attention OF the board 90
} the dangerous state OF the bridge ~,
of Queen street, in which a ~,
oxen bad holes are now marked by a.,
lpes, scantlings and boards stuck up or
ght in them. He favored the re- 80,
anking of this road at once before ~
damage suit was brought against 49,,
lem. To plank the center and mark
allowances for pedestrians on each
de would cost $3.50, and he thought
= could stand off the lumber yards for ia'
Re material until December. Pu
sydney M. Ballou called attention, WI
communication, to the state of the W
ad on Judd street, west of Liliha,
hich was impossible. A. S. Cleghorn MI
ked that the Smith lane, off Fort Wv
rect, be made so that people could uh
t over it, and the people of the Fifth ap
strict asked that something be done or,
Liliha above Judd, including the ex-
nsion of Liliha in the Puunui tract. oe'
All these were cheerfully passed on Du
the Committee on Roads and
idges. who said, through Chairman cn'
lcas, that they had only one difficulty ci'
the matter and that was the lack coe
funds to do all that was asked. .
