The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-03-28

The Supervisors dragged out their
session last night to nearly two hours
| and half, all routine and repetition.
i There was a lot of work done in spite
of the length of the meeting, the finan-
cial status of the county being review
ed by Chairman Hustace, with en-
bellishing pleas for continued economy,
and a general estimate for the coming
three months prepared and passed.
There were no fireworks and the only
difference of opinion expressed was
over the purchase of team of mules
for the Waianae district. The block
paving Of Queen street was gone over
again and the decision to go ahead
with the work reafarmed.
The whole board was present.
PAVING RESOLUTION STANDS.
Thessmatter of the block paving of
Queen street was taken up again and
threshed out once more, the Board
coming back again to the opinion start
( ed from, that wooden creosoted blocks
are best. Road Supervisor johnson was
therefore instructed to go right ahead
with the work, ordering the blocks and
arranging for the laying of eighteen
inch concrete conduits on each side of
the road to carry all the pipes-water,
gas and sewers-the electric wires of
the telephone company and all others.
There were letters read from two
local firms in regard to the paving
work. Levers & Cooke called the TT
tention of the Board to the advantages
of paving bricks for the work, sug-
gesting that a few square feet be put
in, at least, as a test. FL. Hackfeld &
Co. quoted prices on creosoted wooden
blocks at $3.50 per 1000 feet board
measure ex vessel on wharf, Honolulu.
A sample of the block was presented.
These blocks are the same as are being
used by the Territorial government on
the various new wharves.
PETITIONS AND KICKS.
The citizens living on Kawaiahao
street, Kewalo. called attention to the
fact that their street from Ward Wal
kiki to the end was dangerous to traf-
fc and injurious to the neighborbood.
They asked that it be fixed and that a
fire alarm box be put in at the corner
of Ward and Queen street, the nearest
box being now half mile away.
Another petition on the same subject
concerning the same road, stated that
the street was practically impossible |
for vehicles owing to it's swampy |
condition and the innumerable hollows
filled with stagnant disease breeding |
water.
Both petitions were referred to COM
mittee.
