Residents Declare for Appro'

Dangerous Stream.

To save one of the prettiest residen-
tial valleys that forms suburb to
Honolulu ii will be necessary to have
the stream that runs through the mid
die of the valley, and which is sup
posed to carry the waters from the
mountains safely to the sea, cleared
of the rocks and other distractions
that have been accommodating for a
number of years 1t is certain that
the stream in its proper condition
would safely carry all the water from
its watershed and there would be no
flood by back water as was eXper-
fenced early Monday morning,
The flood was not occasioned by
the stream overflowing its banks by
being filled beyond its capacity, but
by the waters striking places that

but little better than bogs in which
vehicles as well as pedestrians become
hopelessly mired.

These men, 90 Mayor Fern declares,
stand ready to serve the city and

they to receive the appointment. they
would depose such men as Road Su-
perVisOr Travis of Eva, who at pres
ent is drawing down $40 Il month.
Now, Travis is stanch Republican,
and therefore he does not stand well
in the councils presided over by His
Honor, in that Travis is charged with
the very reprehensble crime of en-
ploying brace of government mules
to haul delegation of faithful G. O. p.

simply turn over the work to J II.

ALFONSO FATHER

Representative From Hawaii
Has Measures to
Introduce.

Especial Bulletin Correspondence
+ HIllO, Feb. Representative G. +,
Alfonso will leave in the Claudine Mon
uay for the capital where he will pre-
pare for the approaching session of
the Legislature During the last ses-
ion Affanso was the father of no less
than twenty-five measures, and while
he admits that the introduction of Il
multitude of bills is not necessarily a
mark of excellence on the part of a
legislator, he still has in mind not a
few matters which he intends to bring
before the House.
intends to make his main fight is that
providing for "a recorders o.iice for
each of the counties. He introduced
two bills to this effect last session
(and as a matter of fact such bills had
been introduced during several pre-
vous sessions), but though the bills
were favorably reported by the COM
mittec to which they were referred,
they We're defeated, mainly on the
grounds that the indeXing of the rec
ords had not been completed.
Bills Are Prepared.
"A bill has been prepared for in
PRODUCTION by me-" said Alfonso today
(which provides that the county clerks
shall act as recorders. The bill which
| introduced last session provided that
the Governor appoint the first record
ers. and that after that these officers
be elective. I haze not decided yet
which of these two bills | will intro
duce, but | am at present inclined to
favor the former"
Alfonso also has in mind taking up
as separate bills several matters which
have been more or less discussed here
in the light of amendments to the
county act He believes that they
stand better chance of passage as
separate bills. The first of these will
make it a misdemeanor for super
visor or road supervisor to run the
district under his control into debt. at
the same time providing against trick
cry to get around this provision by
preventing the holding back of bills.
The other measure in this line will
provide that when any supervisor or
other elective officer resigns from his
Office, he shall be ineligible to hold any
other public office during the term for
which he was elected 1t would seem
that this measure was suggested by
the recent dicker proposed in the Board
of Supervisors
Plans Hlo Park.
Another proposition which Alfonso
has in mind, and which particularly af-
fects the people Of North Hilo, is that
of setting aside some Gulch bottom in
the vicinity Of IIakalau for public
park and recreation ground
