report.
The committee said II was invited
to take ride in an automobile. They
took their trial on King street, Wal
kiki-ward. trying s, 10, IL and Is

And let it lie ON the table" said
the Chairman, suggestively.
Archer looked puzzled, but Hus-
tace took his silence for assent, call
cd for second, and put the motion,
which carried without dissent.
Hustace explained that putting the
speed limit at 10 miles practically
left the ordinance the same as the
present ordinance. The latter. he
said, had not been enforced, but the
Sheriff promised to see that It is en-
forced here after, and as that was all
that was needed there was no use In
passing Il new ordinance.

Repairs for Manoa Road
Judge Weaver appeared before the
Roard of Supervisors on behalf of the
Manoa Improvement Club and the
Manoa residents, and urged the ma
cadamizing of 1000 feet of the eX-
tension of Oahu avenue. This road
was decided to the Territory before
lie passage of the County Act, but,
Judge Weaver explained. has never
been put into good shape.
The Judge also requested that a
part of the lower Manoa road be re-
paired before the winter rains set In.
Chairman Hustace made his usual
reply, that the County has great
amount of road work to do and that
this would be taken up in Its regular
order. -
Mr.. Alexander, on behalf of the
Manoa residents, thanked the Board
for the good road already construct
cd over the hill.
John Efiinger, speaking for Judge
II. h. Cooper, said that II the upper
and lower Manoa roads were merely
graded and oiled 1t would suffice for
this winter.
A kaimuki resident presented a
request for the repair of the Kali
muki road. He said a petition to
that effect had been on file for ten
or twelve months, but nothing had
been done and he thought 1t about
time some steps were taken to put
the road into passable condition.
