lulu, where he had several consulta-
tions with Governor Frear relative to
the amount of money which Hawaii
would be allowed out of the next in
stallment of loan fund money.
Bishop said the Governor had stated
some time ago no money would be APP
propriated for work which this island
is not ready to proceed with immedi.
ately. With this statement in view
the commission had been busy getting
ready with plans and specifications
with the result that it would by July
have plans and specifications ready fol
about $450,000 worth of work.
The commission, added Mr.. Bishop
had hoped to be able to prevail OF
Governor Frear to allow it to have next
August the use of the entire $45000C
which remains for this island out of its
total share of the road appropriation
but the Governor would not go quite
ms far as that. 1t was probable that
he would let Hawaii have between

Honolulu, Yokohama, Kobe, Manila
and Hongkong, and the reverse, touch
ing at the same ports on the homeward
voyage. The fleet of eight vessels will
give two sailings per month each way,
and you will note that on the outward
and homeward voyage all ships touch
at Honolulu, and the service at that
port will be with eight as fine ships as
there are in the world.
''There is, however, great deal of
agitation on the West Coast against
permitting any ships which are owned
by railroads, or in which railroad has
any stock in the company, using the
canal. If such Legislation becomes the
law, then, Of course, we will not build
these new ships
at is up to the Hawaiian people to
get busy and make a demand for this
service. "
In transmitting the letter, II. Hack
field & Co. suggested that the Mer-
chants Association of Honolulu have
it's representative in Washington op.
pose any legislation of the kind de-
scribed.
The matter will be taken up at the
next meeting of the association.

100000 and $4,000 for roads, next
August.
The commission will have plans ready
for numerous large slices of road work
by July l, when the bids will be ad-
vertised for. This will include plans
for the stretch between Hakalau and
Maulua, some six miles in length, the
road being fourteen feet in width of
macadam. There are quite a few
bridges in this section which will make
it rather expensive. The worst of
these, having a span of LOG feet, prob
ably will be left out of the contract
as the present structure is in q pretty
good condition.
Plans will also be ready for the road
between Maulua and Papaaloa, a
stretch of about four miles, with road
fourteen feet wide. The plans for the
next section, that stretching from the
Kaawalii gulch and including the
famous Bolabola road, will also be
ready.
1t is probable that in July bids will
be called for only these three sections
of road, each one separately.
Plans will, however, also be ready
for the road between the Ahualoa gate
and the Mud Lane junction, for tho
Maimea-KeamoRu road and for the
dressing of the Kahuku lava flow road.

BEGINNING FEDERAL AID
FOR IMPROVED ROADS

The following from the Atlanta
Journal refers 10 one of the most i'm
portant questions Of the day:
The national government has at last
made a modest beginning in the all
important work of good roads. The
postoffice appropriation bill. passed at
the recent session Of Congress, allots
twenty-five thousand dollars for IAN
inquiry into the subject Of federal aid
in the construction of post roads and
provides an additional sum OF five hum
dred thousand dollars TO be administer
ed jointly by the secretary OF agricul-
ture and the postmaster general in
improving the condition of roads over
which rural delivery Is or hereafter
may be established"
On the purely financial side, these
appropriations have been truly de-
scribed as scarcely a fiea-bite" COM
pared with the amount of money need
ed to make the governments part in
such an enterprise anything like what
it should be. 1t is nevertheless
heartening fact that even so short
stem has been taken in the right direc-
ton Congress has at last recognized
the governments duty in this regard
and the mroal effect of such recogni-
and the moral effect of such recogni-
The twenty-five thousand dollars to
be used by a joint committee or the
House and Senate in looking into the
subject of federal aid for public roads
can be profitably spent. 1t is we'll
enough that the government should be
thoroughly informed before it ventures
at great length upon such big under
taking and that in the very outset an
inclusive and carefully considered plan
should be adopted.
The FIVE hundred thousand dollars
VIII be distributed among the states
for the Improvement of rural mail de-
livery routes. 1t is expected that
something like eight thausond dollars
will be allotted to each state and an
additional two thousand held in re-
serve for the maintenance or eacn OF
1he improved routes The question of
selecting the roads to be worked Will
ne left to the local state authorities.
The democrats of Congress are due
4he credit for having initiated this
timely legislation. The work they have
thus begun will doubtless grow apace
for there are few popular demands
more urgent or more reasonable than
that for federal aid in the development
of the country's highways. If 1t Is
right and important that the national
Government should undertake the I'M
provement of rivers and the conserva'
ton Of forests, it is equally, If not more
so, that it should look to the oulidlns
of interstate roads.
This is a matter that concerns all IN
terests in all parts of the country. I'M
average cost of hauling by wagon II
the United States is twenty-five cent
per ton per mile. For wagon trans
portation alone the people OF the Unit
ed States pay more than eight hunore'
million dollars a year. 1t IS eViden
that If this nation gave the same hee
to it's roadways that European gov
ernments do, this vast sum, which l
really a tax upon agriculture and com
merce, would De reduced at least nan
and that within a comparatively shor
time the money thus saved would
sufficient to establish a splendid sys
tenn of roads across the breadth an
length of the continent
