traffic on King street Eva of Fort.
The Diamond Head road was also
completed during. this month, the Ale
wa Heights new road built and numer-
Gus smaller pieces built or repaired.
Among the new works laid out for
the coming month is the grading down
of the hill on King street opposite the
Kahauiki hill and the widening of
King street from the fertilizer works
and the work completed to connect
with the new roadwork at the end
of the Rapid Transit tracks The COM
pletion of this will probably mean the
extension of the street car lines as
far as the fort, bringing the beautiful
grounds of Moanalua within an easy
walk of the end of the line.
The pail road is also to be repaired
and preparations are already under
way for the moving of the rock crush

ton there of camp for the Iaborers

the road is to commence at the toy of

ton desired by tourists and automo-

the big traffic that now passes over it
between Honolulu and the Koolau side
Oiling, patching and rebuilding will
also be continued throughout the town.
This month the department has been
voted thirteen thousand dollars, the
same amount as was used to such good
advantage during January
