hot roast to Marston Campbell, Super
intendent of Public Works. at spir-
tied meeting OF that body held last
night.
Chairman Low of the Ways and
Means Committee ventured the sug-

which Territorial improvements are
being conducted at the expense OF the

weeks following upon the completion
of the laying of Il macadam highway

SAYS IT Hailed
in HONOLULU

Eddie Sylvester, who, with Ernest
Schroll, has opened the new Model
Sanitary Barber Shop at Bethel and
King streets, said today that whole
shopful of customers last Saturday af-
ternoon can testify that 1t hailed in
Honolulu.
I'VE saw the hail and could hear 1t
for a few minutes on the galvanized
iron roof of the McCandless building, 8
said Sylvester this morning. "Of
course II wasn't heavy hail. and was
mixed with rain. The air seemed
warm, too, but YOU can ask Chief Mer-
RAM of the Bureau of Conveyances.' >
It is something of record-breaker
If II has hailed in Honolulu. People
have been born and lived here all their
lives and have never seen hail, even
of the lightest kind.
