A Glorious Day.

June Sth was Children's Day
at Fredonia G. P. church, and it
was a precious good service,
:endered by the children who
had been skillfully and rightly
trained by Mesdames. Smith
ILowery. James Ray, Richard
Grove and others. The children
all did extra well. 1t was the
general decision of all present,
that it was the best exercise
they ever heard. The piece
spoken by Annie May Elder, was
a splendid good sermon in itself.
Although it rained all the morn
ing, there was a very large
audience present and everyone
said they enjoyed the services
fine. After the services at the
church was over, there was a
bountitul dinner was spread un-
der some trees, near by, which
was highly enjoyed, especially
uncle Billy Lloyd.
A collection was taken up by
the children which amounted to
$1S.0S. Bro. Oakley, the pastor,
was present and made a good
talk. and the choir rendered
some splendid music with Miss
Bugg, as organist. Bfc.
Oakley preached a good sermon
in the afternoon on the subject
of Home Training" All in all
it was a happy day to all.

The characteristic speech

degree why he has maintained
so great a hold on the sympathy
of the people. He took occasion
to say that the defeats he had
met with had not embittered
him nor left him nursing any
personal enmittes and he express
ed his satisfaction that Wood

able to do what he himself was
unable to do.
He utteced a truth when he
said that hatreds only injured

fights Mr.. Bryan has gone
through and to remain optimis-

enmities nor petty dislikes is an
achievement of living Of which
few men are capable.
1t shows that the really big
man cares more for the success
of a good cause than he does for
the triumph Of that cause through
himself. Whatever mistake Mr..

his high place in popular esteem

personal fortunes above his social

Talks on Macadam.
The last address Of the evening was
that delivered by l. NJ. Whitehouse.
civil engineer for the city and county
OF Honolulu entitled Experiments in
the Use of Asphaltic Binder for Mac
adam Roads," One of the features Of
this address were the tables Of statis-
tics showing the rise and fall In the
cost or building roads on different Sec
tions in and about Honolulu. He
spoke, in part, as follows:
Zen years ago the streets and high
ways of what Is at present known as
the City and County Of Honolulu were
entirely constructed of waterbonnd
macadam, coral and earth. The
streets In the downtown district hat
been macadamized for years and the
streets in the residential districts
were being rapidly built in the same
manner. At that time the maintenance
cost of the macadGmized streets
amounted to approximately the orig
inaI cost in five years In the next
two or three years 1t was noticed
that the maintenance cost had about
doubled. and was increasing every
yer. This additional cost of main
tenance was due entirely to the adj
vent of the automobile and its con-
stantly increasing use. We have mo-
complete records in the office of the
road department Of the actual In
crease in repairs to macadam roads for
this period but from reports from
various cities in the states where &C
curate cost records have been kept,
it Is recorded that the auto has In
creased the maintenance Of macadam
roads in the ratio of about s to l..
u
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1913-09-23

Macadamized streets at the time
above mentioned, cost the city about
so cents per square yard, and now
cost for the same type of work ap-
proximately 80 cents, these prices be-
ing for road 6 inches thick after
being nnished with nothing added for
cost of equipment.
Money Thrown Away.
at was soon found that oiling ma
eadam streets with light oil which
was subjected to average or heavy
traffic was money thrown away. It
was then thought that If a heavier
oil could be procured and applied In
the same manner that the problem
would be solved. An oil containing
about 80 per cent asphalt was tried,
in some cases giving good results,
and in others dismal failures. Trying
several applications of this oil did
not prove the success that at first
was hoped, as the surface or carpet
of oil and sand soon began to creep
an. large ruts and ridges were form
ed across the road at right angles to
the direction of traffic. The work
done with this oil was of such an
experimental nature that it is diff.
ficult to say just what it cost, but it
ran from 10 cents to 20 cents per
square yard over the coast Of the
'macadam."

maintenance Of roads, dealing prin
cipally with the system now in vogue
on Kauai He spoke as follows:

thoroughly rolled 1t Is examined for
soft spots, which, if found, are hand
tamped to the firmness of the sur

the causes of future pot holes or small
irregularities of the surface.

of metal. apply barely sufficient wa
ter and keep on rolling until the earth
Il forced through the interstices and
begins to appear on the surface over
the whole area; the balance of the
work is done in the usual manner.
This precaution will also guard
against uneven surfaces which would
appear after the road has been In use.
"(3rd) On Kauai we are making
the macadamized strip wider on turns
and much wider on sharp turns than
on the straight stretches. We also
elevate the outer edge of the road on
all lateral surface grades a straight

very popular and as described above,
there will be small patches of surface
metal which will not bond and would
never bond if not aided to do so. Such
places. If not remedied in time, be-
come pot holes or depressions. The
remedy is simple and effective and
costs next TO nothing. A. little sprinkle
of red dirt from the nearest bank will
supply the aid necessary. and within
two or three days the bond will be
complete. 1t is one of the cantonier's
duties to attend to such matters. The
cantonier is on the job for good and
is no doubt a highly profitable invest
ment.
