NEW ROAD WORK
IN HONOLULU
County Committee Recommends
New Street to Fort
Ruger.

Road work in Honolulu for the
month of September as mapped out
by the Road Committee of the Board
of Supervisors, and approved by the
board last evening, includes the fol
lowing:
That the road around Diamond Head
be completed, also that the road lead
ing from 18th avenue connecting with
Diamond Head be macadamized. We
do not mean by this to clear and grade
said road, but to clear away the sur
face rock and then to macadamize with
the material which comes from the
Frank Cooke quarry, which is in our
opinion the very best, as well as the
cheapest, macadam that can be used,
as the County can procure the same
from fifteen to twenty cents a yard,
making great saving; whereas the
crushed rock viii cost at the very least
sixty cents yard thereby making q
great saving for the County.
We would also recommend that work
on Merchant street continue, also OF
Nuuanu. that $1,000 be set aside out OF
the $4,000 appropriation of the Dis
trict of Honolulu which is know as
the Kamehameha " road leading. uI
the Kalihi valley, to commence grad
ing at what is known as 9Kalulan
Park to grade the street on either
side of park, to plow, serape and leve
off said park, to grade the road from
the park to the church from the
church to the Kamehameha " road, tt
continue up the valley as far as saif
appropriation will allow. That tht
said, work must be a frst-class job
that we do not approve of building
any road that is not frst-class, that is
it must be well maeadamized, the same
as the streets in the center of the city
of Honolulu; that the $1,000 must bt
spent on this road; that the road
around Diamond Head and leading
from Diamond Head to 18th avenu,
shall be completed during the month
IF there is sufficient fund to fnisl
Merchant street and continue work CT
Nuuanu road, well and good, but i.
! not. Diamond Head, 18th avenue ant
| Kamehameha " road must receivt
first attention, the balance can b
] spent on other roads mentioned.
