Kona and Kau
Belt Road Commission.
A most interesting meeting of the
Belt Road Commissioners of this
island was held last Saturday after
noon at which the following were
present: Messrs. Moir, Scott, Ken
nedy, Castendyk, F. S. Lyman,
Wright, Mcguire, Holmes, Deyo,
Wise, Ewaliko, Norman Lyman, Will
liams, DR.. F. Irwin, DR.. Elliott, COM
missioners Horner, Campbell and
Lewis and Engineer Hubert X. Bsh-
op The meeting, Chairman Horner
stated, was called mainly to give the
people of this section an opportunity
of meeting the new engineer and Of
discussing with him any ideas which
they might have.
c. c. Kennedy stated that he was
very glad to meet Mr. Bishop and TO
see him on the ground. He believed
that the Volcano Road should come
first in the work to be done and
hoped to see a quick start hard work
and roads built such as would meet
with the storms and climatic condi-
tons which are to be faced here.
Mr. Wright thought that there was
plenty of chance for hard work and
good construction at the famous Bola-
bola road. Mr.. Holmes stated that
he was glad to have a man here who
seemed to be equal to the job and
promised his assistance in all ways.
DR.. Elliot disagreed with Mr. Ken
nedy in regard to where the work
should start, and thought that it
would better start at Mr.. SCOTS
front door, rather than at Mr.. Ken
nedy's. He said that he was partic-
ularlv interested in seeing work
which would last, in preference to
CHEAP work which would be only
good for a short time.
Mr.. Scott stated that he was in
favor of caoipU +ba y1,Orly oor,roopoo
at the Puma boundary and continue
north, and that it would perhaps
reach the Bolabola road later on. He
stated that he was in favor of citizen
labor and large contracts, which
should not be sub-divided. He
thought that better work was to be
obtained in this manner. In regard
to the labor proposition, while he
favored citizens, he did not think
that the commission should be held
up. The people of the county EXPECT
value received from the commission
ers and he felt satisfied that they
would get it from the commission as
appointed.
John T. Moir said that in regard to
the relocation of roads, he believed
that the matter should be left to the
board, to act with the advice Of the
engineer. He was also in favor of
large contracts and no subdividing
Of them. He stated that he would,
where the road work passed by the
lands of the Onomea plantation, place
every facility for obtaining material
end in other ways at the service Of
the commission.
Judge Wise expressed his entire
confidence in the board. Norman Ly-
man expressed similar ideas.
In response to a question from Com.
missioner Campbell, Mr. Moir stated
that he thought the contracts should
run from 100000 to 100000 each and
that such amounts would result in
J much better work.
Ewaliko stated that he hoped to see
everyone work together, that he fav-
ored the employment of citizen labor
first and that the men should be paid
according to what they could earn.
He said that with his organization he
was working to keep from hampering
the commission and that he would try
to bring about harmony.
DR. Fred Irwin stated that he die
not think that the commission coult
start its work too soon, this idea be
, ing kokuaed by Health Inspector Bow
man and County Auditor Mcguire Mr.
Filler said that he left himself in the
hands of the commissioners.
, Marston Campbell stated that there
a, was enough money to do a good dea
, of work, but that there was one mat
, ter of great Importance, that of the
, maintenance of the road constructed
