The following communication was
read:
- .4ora'uiu r H. August -. 1905.
Mr.. J. Lucas, Chairman of Committee
on Roads, Bridges and Parks.
Sir: Pursuant to Instructions from
the Board of Supervisors of the County
of Oahu, / have made survey of the
Punaluu beach. Koolauloa, and of the
Pakole beach, Koolaupoko.
OF the latter have prepared plan of
specifications, together with an estt-
mate of the cost blue print of which
enclose
The most casual observation shows
that nothing can be done at Punaluu
without the expenditure of a large
amount of money, $4,000 at least. and
in view of the shortage of funds avail
able 1 have made no plans for such
work
would recommend that all other
work in the Koolaupoko district, except
Cantoneers. be discontinued and the
road overseer directed to carry out the
work at Pakole.
An appropriation of $3.50 for the first
month will be all that will be required
to carry on this work properly. Re
spectfully yours, G. H. GERE,
County Engineer.
FIRE ALARM BOXES.
Moore asked for six additional fire
alarm boxes. Lucas praised the good
work of the fire department. and SAID
that more boxes would greatly add to
the departments efficiency. On Lucas
motion 1t was decided to install half
dozen new boxes.
THE PAIL ROAD.
L. NJ Whitehouse wrote as follows:
August II, 1905.
John Lucas, ESQ. Chairman, Commit
tee on Roads and Bridges, City.
Dear Sir: Re Nuuanu Pail road ma
cadamizing. The macadamiZing of the
Nuuanu Pail road will be completed
from the top of the Pail to the Wal
manalo branch by the end Of the
month. The specifications call for
some 5000 feet further work, but as the
road already completed was by far the
worst stretch in the grade, and the
balance at the bottom being in fairly
good shape, would request your COM
mittee to allow me to complete my con-
tract by working from the top of the
Pail toward Honolulu.
The part of the road that would be
thus repaired is now in very bad con-
dition, even worse than the Koolau side
of the Pail road was before being ma
By this change I would save some IN
teaming, but this saving would more
than be offset by the additional
amount of rock required, as the road
on this side of the Pail is about II per
cent. wider than that on the other side.
Yours truly,
L. NJ WHITEHOUSE-
Whitehouse' . request will be granted.
."The Pail arch and road will be
memorial to this board remarked
