BIC SUM NEEDED
FOR Street WORK
Over Three Hundred Thousand
Dollars Asked by Petitions
to Supervisors

Three hundred and two thousand dol.
lars is the total amount which would
have to be expended IL all the petitions
and estimates for street work in the
city now ON file were approved by
the supervisors. Supervisor Low has
tabulated all the requests and placed
them before caucus Of the ways and
means committee yesterday afternoon.
He referred to them at last nights
meeting of the board, in reply to some
additional requests made by Supervisor
Dwight of the road committee.
Mr.. Dwight called the attention Of
the committee to tho necessity of work
ON the Makiki ditch, owing to the pos.
sibility of heavy storms this fall. Mr..
Dwight predicted a big storm in De,
cember. He also said there is need of
work on Prospect street; a road to the
receiving station, estimated at $2500;
Makiki ditch, $1,000; drain pipe system
back of Kamehameha Schools, $500;
repairs to Beckley street, and much
more.
The board is in quandary about the
Nuuanu avenue paving. There is
heated discussion under way among the
members MS to what pavement is the
right kind for the heavy traffic to
which the pavement will be subjected.
II is said that the city engineer favors
creosoted wood blocks. The bitulithic
paving company is using every argu-
ment to the board members to use btu
lithic, and some of the supervisors
favor it. The engineer states that
creosoted blocks will represent a heav-
Ter initial cost but will last for twenty
years.
Bridge Needs Repairs.
The Queen street bridge, in need OF
repairs, will prove costly. The engi-
neer s estimates are: Creosoted blocks,
$3.50; bitulithie, $5lsl; ohia, $5106.
A resolution was passed for first
reading appropriating $4,000 for speci-
iic road work, TO include $4,000 for re-
pairs on Beretania avenue; $4,000 for
work on Kalakaua avenue, and $4,000
for repairs on King street between
! Aala Park and Moanalua.
The board also appropriated $500 for
lava blocks to be used on the steep
grades and sharp turns on the Moana-
lua road in order to make the use of
that thoroughfare less dangerous. The
engineer approved the suggestion of
using blocks for this work.
The clerk was authorized to call for
tenders for laying the curbing for the
center parkway of Kalakaua avenue
$4,000 having been appropriated for the
work.
: For the month of July the road board
plans to expend $500, as follows: Of

to his side while he said:
