road committee was doing with the oil
for streets for which thousand dollars

Fifth District streets or roads, and part
of the oil was intended for upper Lii

the military post. The chairman as
sured Mr.. Fern that the oil would be
spread on the streets in due time.
New Peninsula Road.
| Mr.. Archer asked the board to keep
in mind the propriety of completing
the road between Pearl City and the
Peninsula. The Oahu railroad had long
ago agreed to turn over a 22-foot strip
to the county when the county maca-
damized the thoroughfare. Mr.. Archer
said that road making in his district
would be well along by the end of the
month so that the workers could pay
attention to the Peninsula road. The
railroad would haul the rock and ma
terials and dump it along the road
wherever needed. The board said the
work would be done.
