in the original agreement, and that
trains are running over it as was con-
templated by that agreement. Under
the agreement as amended the Kooiau

other times the plantation is to have
the right of way for it's trains over
the section of the railroad known as
the Kahuku-Kaipapai.

GUTTER LAW Is
QUICKLY PASSED
Quiet Meeting of Board of
Supervisors Last
Night.

The meeting of the Board of County
Supervisors held last night was veri-
table love feast. Not single member
of the Board was called a liar by
either another member or by an out
slider. The famous gutter ordinance
was passed without a hitch, being
amended by Supervisor Dwight to
make it slightly more strenuous than it
had been at first in the matter of al
lowing water to stand in cutters. The
vote by which the ordinance was pass
ed and made law was unanimous and
not member of the board, or anyone
else, had a word to say in the matter.
j. A. McCandless was not present.
A fifteen day vacation was allowed
to the members of the Hawaiian band,
to start on October l. The band was
not represented by any member but
the motion allowing the musicians a
well earned rest passed without dis
senting vote.
The following letter was received
from Jared G. Smith of the Expert
ment Station, and was referred to the
committee on road work. for action,
Chairman Hustace stating that the
work on the quarry mentioned would
have been discontinued even without
the protest:
Honolulu, Hawaii, August %, 1907.
Board of Supervisors, County of Oahu,
Honolulu, T. H.
Dear Sirs: I would consider it a
favor if work in the stone quarry
which is the property of the Territory
of Hawaii, and is now being operated |
by the County of Oahu, located with
in the Hawaii Experiment Station |
reservation, be discontinued at as |
early a date as rs practicable. The |
extension of the main face of the quar- |
ny any farther in the direction of our /
buildings constitutes an annoyance |
and also renders our buildings liable to |
injury or destruction through frag- |
ments of flying rock.
My understanding has been that |
work would be discontinued as soon
as the streets in the immediate vicin- |
ity of the Experiment Station were
and also as soon as the |
ledge of good rock on the Experiment
Station side of the line, separating this
quarry from the Experiment Station
reservation, had been exhausted. This
is now the case, and no large amount
of good material can be removed from
the quarry without extending its up
per limits to within dangerous prox-
unity to the residences on our reser-
walton.
Trusting that this matter will re-
ceive your favorable consideration, I
remain,

A letter was received from J. P.

the matter of a contribution to the Lee
ahi Home with Chairman Hustace and
from that interview felt satisfied with

last meeting. He stated that he hoped
that the Board would be in position
to help the home at the first of next
year.
