amized and number of the citizens
and voters of the Seventh precinct,
Fifth district, asked for five arclights
along Waikamilo road between the Ka-
lihi pumping station and Kalihi camp
The petitioners rendered thanks in
advance. Both petitions were referred
to committee.
COSTS MONEY TO MOVE.
Dwight presented the figures of the
of moving the old fshmarket building
from. the present site on the water
front to Aala park The figures, which
totalled $4,000, staggered the men,
bers- and the plan was dropped imme-
diately The engineer s estimate was:
Taking down building and haul
ing. .,.... .............$ 4,500
New piers for columns. .,.. $500
Erecting .....-........... $500
Repairs to roof, etc. 1900
Total. ............... 800
Are you standing in with the XII
lohana Art League and the others who
want to keep, the building there?'i
asked Hustace, after catching his
breath
Engineer Gere said he was not sure
but that it costs as much to take an
iron building down as to put it up.
The estimate was a conservative one.
Hustace then suggested that the spe-
cial committee see what another build
ing for the park could be had for. He
heard that one of the present fish
market buildings was for sale.
KEALOHA MATTER PAU.
Hustace said he was very glad to be
able to report that everything was
satisfactory now regarding the finan-
ces of the Koolaupoko road district.
ROAD WORK.
Supervisor Johnson read a report of
the road work under way showing that
much was being done throughout the
city in readiness for the rainy season.
Engineer Gere reported having be-
gun work on the Watson road on the
other side of the island, where also the
macadamizing of the main round-the-
island road was proceeding in good
shape.

Archer asked Johnson how many of
the fifth district roads had been oiled
during the past year.
''None that 1 know Of" answered
Dwight.
How many in the fourth district?"
asked Archer, and before he could be
answered he asked: What do we
spend so much in oiling in the fourth
and none in the fifth for?'
Hustace and others explained that
only streets running up and down hill
were being oiled and the object was to
save them. Liliha street ought to be
oiled, but there were few such in the
fifth.
Archer said this was the first he ever
heard of the reason for oiling and pro-
posed several fifth district streets
which might have oil money spent on,
Archer also began to kick at the
neglect of. the Kewalo streets, which
are flooded during the rains, but drop
ped this when told that the particular
work had just been finished.
"It seems to me, Mr.. Chairman" re-
marked Archer, not willing to drop the
matter altogether, that in those dis
tricts with the three and four-story
houses they are always brushing up
and fixing, but when they have one
story houses no attention is paid"
well, you are member of the COM
mittee, why don't you see that things
are right?'' asked the chairman.
YES, I'm a member, but 1 have
mighty little to- say about it,"
johnson offered to drive him around
and see what is being done and
Dwight objected to Archer's fnsinua-
| lions that he was showing any par
TALLY between the rich and the poor
districts. Nothing of the kind was
going on.
After this unusually quiet squabble
the board adjourned to meet again in
time to pay off before New Years, the
date being agreed on as Friday, the
9th.
