The efforts OF the county authorities
that have been so commendable to
keep the county road through the Fort
Shafter reservation in good condition
Will all be overthrown unless the con
tractors engaged in constructing the
additions to the department hospital
are restrained as to the size of the
loads OF lumber and other material
that their employees are hauling over
the stretch Of road in question. Prac-
tically all of the damage recently re-
haired by the road force was caused
by loads of lumber OF immense size
coming up the hill near the hospital.
The wagons are drawn by motor OF
great power that permits loading the
narrow tired vehicles to q limit that
would try the heaviest construction
to 9 damaging point and IN addition
the loads are unskillfully disposed on
the wagons in that greater portion
