After Low had told the delegates
just how things stood, Murray 9sked
The chairman OF the road committed
what wns the intention Of The commit
tee.
In reply the chairman said IL was
the FIRST board he had seen where mem
bers of other committees asked what
was 70 be done by the road committee,
or any other committee.
Answering the Nuuanu residents, he
stated that as the belt road commits
sion had decided IL could do nothing,
then the road department would con-
eentrate its force on Nuuanu next
month and carry the work on to com
pletion. (Reeeived with applause.)
f, Many Speakers.
After the business of the board was
carried through and the time of visit
ors for addressing the members came,
several of the delegates from Nuuanu
took the floor and told the board in
various terms what they thought
should be done, all thanking the city
fathers for compliance with the petit
i tion.
Ex-Governor Carter said that Nuu.
anu now had the promise of the road
committee, and the silence of other
1 members of the board TO the effect that
Nuuanu would receive attention next
month, for which he as member of
the Improvement club wished to thank
the supervisors.

w. o. Smith took up the question of
Keeping the main Ghoroughfares in re-
4 pair rather than devote attention so
much to side streets, and said that he
\ was in France a year ago and was much
Impressed with the way the roads were
cared for there.
AT short distances along the country
roads there were piles of material fol
repairing roads, and the roads were
kept in the best of condition all the
time, at small expense.
Automobiles were the means of wear
ing out the roads for they were the
only vehicles which dug into the road
and that was the cause of the streets
l of the city getting in such disgrace
full. shape, he said.
CAS- to Nnuanu, it should be fixed, but
there was much to be done on Kins
street and other main thoroughfares Of
the city.

In reply Low stated that he woul
be glad to have the sum that Lin

month could be spent on roads.
