CITIZENS WOULD
PAVE STREETS

iFrom Wedne.dax Adyertirer.l

B. u
From Wednesday Adyertiser.)
The many residents in the Auwaio
limu district in the PunehbovI section
of the city are confronted with the task
Of putting in some four miles or more
of eurbing on new streets, that have
been finished as 20 grade, water pipes
and sewer lines. The latter part OF the
work being done by the City Of 1fo-
nolulu is nearing completion and these
residents face the necessity Of putting
IN tho curbing OF at the end OF sixty
days, having II done by the county and
the, cost charged as a Her against the
several properties adjoining tho newly
improved streets.
fhe residents Of this picturesqne
Punehbowl srction of Honolulu feel
that sixty days is all too short time
in which TO 10 the work required by
law and movement Is under way to
appeal to the board Of supervisors for
an extension Of time.
The law is specific as TO the sixty
day limit after notice has been given,
but the PunchbOw residents are an
xious TO find way to carry out the
requirements Of the law as they believe
the cost TO property holders will be
much less, IL done by themselves than
II done by the county.
They point out that the county must
use none but citizen laborers while the
property owners by employing Japn-
nese could have the work done for ono
third to fifty per cent less.
Engineer l.. NJ. Whitehouse in talk
ing of the matter said that in his opin
ion, IL the residents could do the work
cheaper II was up to them TO get busy
and do II. However, he docs not be.
lieve that money can be saved by the
residents by employing foreign labor.
1.-THE grading, the sewer work, the
plaein- Of storm drains is nearing com
pletion, said Engineer Whitehouso
yesterday. There are over four miles
Of new streets. The eurbing must be
put In according to law and then we
win be ready TO 90 ahead with the paw
ing Of the streets,
fsI do not bolieve anything can be
gained by the employment Of Japanese
labor. We buy curling stone at from
thirty to thirty-fve cents foot and
with citizen labor can put II in place
for ten to fifteen cents foot. Tho
Japanese cannot do IL for much less,
il any. as citizen labor Is much more
efficient and does a quicker and better
COB. ~ 1850
"When the curbing is IN place, the
Territory will begin the work Of paw.
ing the streets and the quicker the
curbing is in place the sooner the tract
will have fine streets instead Of lanes
Of mud and dust
"The superintendent lof nnhlfn worl.r
will have asphalt pavement put in on
maeadam on the less travelled streets.

ing was illegal moving across the

think that the spirit Of the federal

believe that it would be mighty diff.
cult to get a jury to convict for viola
tion Of the statute. Tho letter OF the

Mail Special to The dyertiscr.)
HIL0. December 29.--Thc Hawaiian.
American Farmers Agricultural Asso-
citation is the name of an organization
which was formed last Sunday at Olaa.
It's object is to find for its members a
land where agrieulturists are supposed
to meet more encouragement than they
do here. The officers say that they are
not knocking Hawaii. and that they are
not complaining, bat that they think
that white farmers may get octter in-
ducemeuts in other countries, and if
they can find place where they will
get more cHcouragcnent, t. on they win
migrate to that place.
The meeting was held at I4h Miles
Olaa. An address was delivered by
Gustav Kret zseh mar, WHO is the leading
spirit Of the venture. Later on officers
were elected. Kretzschmar was chosen
president, while Joseph Andrews. the
well-known Oiaa farmer, was cleo Ell
secretary and treasurer Twelve niesn-
hers signed the roll.
New Zealand in View
New Zealand is the first place which
the farmers will turn TO for investiga-
ton. KTctzsehmar and Galician, nam.
ed w. Twardlebofl, were elected to be
the Moses and Aaron, respectively, who
are TO lead TO the promised land. They
will, however, first make trip TO New
Zealand, in order that they may aseer.
tain whether the conditions are such as
are desired. If they are the rest of the
members, as well as those who join
later, viii be advised to travel to the
promised land
"We leave for New Zealand on Janu.
airy 10, said Kretzsehmar yesterday.
owe intend to look over conditions
with our own eyes. We will also talk
with the officials and find out what in
ducementE New Zealand win offer white
farmers, and if we find that we can bet.
ter our conditions, then the members Of
the organization will go TO New Zea-
land. IL is not that we have ANYTHING
against Hawaii, for that we have not,
but we think that it is likely that we
can do better in some other country,
and that is what we are trying to find
out about
1.-THE organization Is small one
now, but we believe it will grow very
rapidly. 1t has already collected quite
a large fund, which has been placed in
the bank, and out Of this the Expenses
of myself and my comrade are being
paid" -
