Senate Bill 50, Chillingworth, to pro-

general fund for all bridge work. the
same as was done under the old
county board
The Mayor stated that Paele was up
against a short appropriation for the
rest of the month for road work. hav-
ing put most of his money into the
bridge. He felt that the engineer
should bring in plans and estimates OF
cost for repairs to bridge work and
the work be done under appropriation
from the general fund.
Supervisor Quinn said the work
would cost about 5000. He was at Wal
ahole just after the Mayor and he
thought everything was o. K.
Logan remarked that Paele seemed
to have blocked things at the start
by putting the dogs on Engineer Gere
when he went there to make a report.
Engineer Gere stated that he agreed
with the Mayors policy of making
special appropriations for repairs to
bridges, and would have to do SO in
this instance. He thought the work
could be finished for about 5000 if there
are no more storms meanwhile
Logan thereupon introduced reso-
luton appropriating s1s9 to be used in
addition to the $50 yet remaining to
carry on the work this month.
1t is quite likely that the Mayors
plan, to specialize appropria tions for
bridge work to be done under the di-
reetion of the Engineer, will be
adopted.

Bids for supplying a twenty horse
power engine, petrolithic roller tam

were opened, tenders being offered by
the Won Hamm- Young Company and the
Honolulu Iron Works. The Won Hamm-

$3.50 on skids; the petrolithic tamper

tivator for about the same price. The
Iron Works bids were $1157~ for the

The political bugaboo came up dur

reference to road workers being dis
charged by the road supervisors, and
Supervisor Logan, after making an i'm
FASHIONED statement that discharges

he wanted a full and thorough inves-
tigation of petition from discharged
road workers. ending in Kane offering
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
SiBe it Resolved by the Board of Su-
pervisors of the city. and County of
Honolulu. That no employee of the CITY
and County of Honolulu shall be dis
charged on account of his political af-
fIiation. and be it further resolved,
that the clerk of the City and Coun-
tv be and he is hereby ordered to trans
nit a copy of this resolution to each
of the various departments of the City
and County and to each of the road
district overseers.
The matter was brought up through
petition signed by about twenty Ha-
waiian workers. who set forth that
thew, as citizens and voters, employed
in the road department, had worked
EIGHT hours a day. but since March 16
thew have worked nine hours day
without overtime, and eight hours on
Saturday without overtime. They state
that thev understand the law requires
eight hours work Of them every day,
except on Saturdays when they are to
work five hours. They state they be-
lieve they have been unfairly dealt
with and pray the honorable board to
cause an impartial investigation and

Cox wanted the matter referred to
the Road Committee. The Mayor want

Cheap Gravel for Roads.

Chairman Quinn of the Road Com
mittee showed the county an oppor-
tunity to save money by spending a
little. There was lot of gravel on
some land of Mr.. Swanzy s in Koolau
which Mr.. Swanzy was willing to let
the county have at very low price,
and Mr.. Quinn stated it was just the
right kind of gravel for the roads. IF
it was used the road would cost few
hundreds of dollars instead of the thou
sands it would take to cart the gravel
in from another location. The board
approved of the suggestion, not with
out lot of childish wrangling, and the
road overseer of the district is author
lied to receive gravel from Bonny
Judd, who negotiated the deal. The
price will be fixed up later.

Lesson In Good Roads.

The state engineer Of New York in a
recent report says that In 1907 New
York built 81 miles OF good roads
and In 1908 $50 miles The taxpayers
have authorized the expenditure Of
sJ0.0000o0 for roads. and the legisia.
ture has added sl1000.o00. II Is stat
ed that the contention for good roads
had to be waged for years TO get the
work started. The farmers were the
strongest In opposition. New Jersey
and Massachusetts, took up the work
before New York. but now the En-
pire State is getting In line. BY the
time the s61.0o0.0o0 shall have been
spent the three states. which all Join
at points. viii have a great system of
roads One may leave Philadelphia
and reach Boston on highways smooth
and solid. A good automobile may
easily beat the trains on this trip. and
