Doctor Elliot, the president of the

introducing the visiting officials. The

his appearances and his disappearance
in Hilo, and the luncheon had been ar
ranged in order to give an opportunity
for an informal discussion of public
matters here, He praised the admins
tration as having paid more attention
to Hilo and her needs than any previous
administration had done. He then called
on various local speakers, reserving the
speeches of the visiting officials until
the last.

The Governors Reply.
The Governor opened his speech with
assurances of his pleasure in coming
to lTilo. He regretted that press OF
affairs at headquarters prevented his
coming oftener and making his stays
longer. He benefited greatly from di
rect contact with the people in the
localities where problems arose. The
Governor added that he had purposely
chosen to speak after the local men had
expressed their views in order that he
might speak on subjects of interest tC
them.
81 am heartily in favor of selling
the lots at Twenty-nine Miles," the
Governor went on, taking up one by
one the subjects which had been men
toned by the Hilo men. eaProbably til,
terms of sale win be made easy and tn,
time limit in which house must b,
built made so long that the owner viii
have time to build a permanent struc
ture at once instead of first building
"a temporary house in order merely II
comply with the conditions. I am aIas
in favor of using the proceeds for th'
building of roads to the lots. / be
lieve that in the case of any sale il
should be decided beforehand what tn,
government should do in the matter Of
roads md water. Smaller prices ar,
obtained for lots where there Is no sucl
assurance. However, a question Of Law
is involved in regard to whether thesl
roads could be built before the lots ar
opened. In the case of homestead lots
the proceeds may be taken from Othe
homestead LOT sales TO build roads Il
homesteads to be opened, and the pro
