New ROUTE To
CANNER|ES 70
AVOID INILE|

Mrs. Fred MacFarlane and Mrs. ].
r. Gait. trustees for the Kainlani
Girls ODE. called on the acting gov
ernor this morning to urge his CO.
operation in an. effort to change con-
ditions for the young women working
in the pineapple canneries who are
compelled to walk through a portion
of the FIwelei district. -.
MottjSmith announced thai a sur
vey already has been ordered and an
effort " III be made to extend Robello
lane, of King street, so that it will
supply 2 thoroughfare direct from the
girls home to the canneries. This
will { hable the young women to reach
their workshops without passing
throu.sh the streets of the ill-famed
district !.
The work will require some time,
however, as maps must be made
showing the private properties af-
fected by the extension, condemna-
ton proceedings may lie found neces-
sary, and the property owners along
the rplte must be reimbursed by the
Territory. The enterprise has the
acting governors hearty sympathy,
however, and he will employ his in
fiuence to obtain the extension at the
earliest possible moment y
