WARNED NOT To LET
ROADS DETER|ORATE

Some honest criticism was handed to
the Board of Supervisors last night By
Albert Waterhouse and Frank Archer
with respect to the manner in which
the board builds roaas and then al
lows them to deteriorate. -
Mr.. Archer appeared as a citizen of
Eva district to remind the present
board of promise of the former board
to nlacadamize the road from Pearl
City to the Peninsula, after which the
railroad company would deed the road.
TO which it was adding wide strip,
to the city and county. He said he
thought it was time for the citizens to
plead for the road work in that dis
trict. The road was only half done,
and the remainder should be attended
to while the crusher was in the vi
entity.
Mr.. Waterhouse supplemented this
statement by saying that there was no
more earnest advocate of the island
belt road than himself, but he felt
that the road to the Peninsula was
important as an adjunct to the belt

and they had not got their money back
in improvements, and their claim was
legitimate The Peninsula road would
be attractive to tourists, as it would
bring them directly to Pearl Harbor.
Mr.. Waterhouse then said he had
criticism. "This city and county, he

dickens, because you don't take care
of them. I took trip recently to the
Malay States. They had a road-build-
ing problem there in tropical jungles.
but they not only build roads, but they
keep them UP, Every two miles there
is a section gang repairing the roads,
not a single cantonnier here and there.
They spend lots Of money on roads,
but they don't let them go to pot by
not taking care of them. If some
money is not spent in repairs on the
Honolulu-Pearl City road you are go
ing to lose lots of money"
Supervisor Kane thought the board
should agree to carry out the promise
CT the former board, and the Peninsula
road viii be looked after.
Mr.. Quinn replied to Mr.. Water
house. saying that while the present
board IS building many roads. vet it
is not neglecting any. The board has
been in office only a short time and is
doing its utmost to keep the roads up.
There We're roads left over from the
last administration which were not in
good shape. He spoke of the work
being done on King street and the
Pail, and Mr. Waterhnuse stated again
even on the Pail road the side bitches
to carry off the water were far from
being deep enough or large enough for
the purpose.
