help them, thus leaving their brother
chiefs without adequate transportation
facilities.
Women Workers.
Sol Mahelona, in district eight, back
of the pumping station at Kalihi, was
out of luck on account of labOrers. He
had been promised thirty-six men, and
when ten O'Clock arrived he had but
thirty in all, and so he pressed num-
Der of women into service, getting
eighteen in all, and he reported early
, in the afternoon that the women were
doing better work than the men.
Much of the rubbish was taken to
temporary dumping grounds in the dis
triets in which it originated, as had an
attempt been made to take it the whole
distance to the regular grounds there
would have been but little cleared
away.
Hundreds of loads are now on these
temporary grounds, at Moiliili, School
street, upper Fort street and the Kalihi
pumping station, where there are many
loads of refuse.
Continue Tomorrow
The Cleanup Day committee has
done the best it can and will continue
on Monday with the city and county
teams, all of which have been prom
Used by the city fathers for that day
to complete the great work already half
done.
There were many laughable instances
during the course of the work, but the
educational value of the day to the
citizens of the city who thought Homo
lulu was clean is beyond dispute.
All classes took to the idea in great
shape, and in only one district was
there a report of anyone holding back.
This was in Senator Judd's bailiwick
on Waikahalulu lane, where people
/ sat back and let the laborers go ahead
and clean their premises.
In several parts of the city there was
an apathy among the owners of large
tracts of land. one such in Kalihi fail
ing to take any measures to clean up its
land, which was covered with tin cans
and other refuse. Another one was in
the city, where lot in the hands of
one of the trust companies was cleaned
up by the committees laborers, grass
cut and debris taken away.
All Worked Well.
It would be useless to attempt to tell
of the good work done by the men who
had charge of districts or divisions in
the work yesterday.
All did their work we'll and from
every district chief came warm words
of praise for the men under them, espe-
cially those who had the hardest sec
tions to handle.
The most surprised man in town yes
terday was Ed Towse, who thought he
had an easy job in cleaning up the
downtown section. He only wanted a
few teams and laborers, but as the
morning advanced requisition after
reGuisition came into headquarters
, from him for more men and more teams.
, BY three in the afternoon five hun
dred and fifty loads had been taken to
Iwilei from that district and the est.
mate at that time was that there would
be fully that number more before
| everything was cleaned up.
The Japanese in Colonel Mccarthy e
district beyond Piikoi street had such
cleaning fit that they even took up
their old mattings from the floors and
had new ones ready to put down as
soon as the old had been taken away
Hundreds of Loads Yet.
In district number two there are over
two hundred loads of refuse on LOT
, in Moiliili which will have to be taken
! to the reguler dump on Monday; there
: are about the same number on Fort
E street, and on the dumping ground Of
Y Puhehowl on School street.

unknown hundreds of loads which are
