WIRE ETCHED EXCUSE
FOR ROAD MAKING

A statement of the wretched condi-
ton of Upper Manoa road is to be pre-
pared for presentation to the Board of
Supervisors. Individual protests to
the road supervisor and others CON
nected with work making have brought
no relief to the residents of Manoa
thus far and it has been decided to ask
that the board inspect the excuse for
roadmaking that is being performed
in the valley.
Two or three months ago a gang of
laborers was put to work on the road
cleaning the weeds from the sides and
the accumulation of dust lying in the
cutters was shovelled into the middle
# the highway. The track became so
dusty that residents could not use it
and they were forced to cut through
lots and use the lower Manoa road.
The road supervisor said he intended
to get to work and rebuild the road as
soon as he was through with Metcalf
street. He expected that work would
be finished about six weeks ago. After
many protests had been entered the
road department sent two carts to the
valley to haul gravel from the hill
sides. This has been dumped on the
upper road from its junction with the
lower road near the car station, almost
to the road leading up hill toward
Effinger s. Two men are still en-
ployed in receiving the loads of gravel.
One is luna who bosses the other man
all day 1t is merely job of levelling
down the piles of gravel as dumped,
and yet one man Is time is devoted
solely to standing in shady places and
watching the other man ply the shovel.
This gravel has mixed with the dust
and is now half a foot deep and al
most impossible. Pedestrians have
been forced to walk through the little
park recently made, but even that is
becoming so dusty that little relief is
found there Autos cannot 60 through
the yielding gravel. The gravel is
gradually being laid on, but no solid
work has been attempted and residents
wonder how the material can be
packed at ALL The work on Metcalf
street is still under way.
One objection of the road men is
that in the daytime there is little water
being pumped to Manoa, which is ex-
ceedingly dry now. One resident said
that water is pumped during the night
and the department could use steam
roller then.

bride is the daughter of the late John

Kona for a number of years. The
marriage has been contemplated for
some time, though there had been no

take place. In fact, the couple stole
a march on their friends, being mar
ried just at the time when the atten-
tion of nearly everybody was distract
ed by the Sbriner pageant.
