NEW ROAD TO
KILAUEA CRATER
CONVICTS HAVE DONE MUCH
WORK ON ROAD FROM THE VOL
CANO HOUSE.

HILO, October 24.-"Eight hundred
feet of the new carriage road from the
VOlacno House to the crater of Kilauea
were finished when 1 left there, and
one mile of it will be completed by the
end of October"
This was said by Territorial Sur
veyor Charles E. Smith, before be lert
Hilo on his return trip to the capital.
Mr.. Smith arrived here, August %,
with High Sheriff Henry, to begin sur
veying the road and he expected to
have finished his work in two weeks
But he found it more difficult than ne
expected owing partly to the density of
the forest and partly to inability to
secure a safe road across the crater.
But this he finally succeeded in doing.
Speaking further of his work, Mr..
Smith said:
"The road will be $4,000 feet, or
seven and one-half miles long to the
corral. had expected that the heaviest
grade would be eight per cent, but this
has been reduced to six per cent, while
the road will average a three per cent
grade"
