i /. 6.
A certain paragraph In one of the
Promotion Committees folders on
Oahu says: The island offers many
attractions to motorists. With few
exceptions the roads are excellent in
!, all seasons. Most of them are mac
adamized, while the earth roads are
good except in very rainy weather"
| What the earth roads are in very
rainy weather can only be told in the
language of the farmer or autoist who
lis compelled to use them. and to get
the expressions of the aforesaid
farmers and autoists one should be
supplied with shorthand writer who
uses the system that is supposed to
be employed by the recording angel
But don't let anybody think for a
moment that all the roads on Oahu
are in state of bottomless mush aft
Ter shower or two. ! am more than
pleased to state that in my travels
about this island I have found that
the roads, leading in all directions
| from the metropolis, compare more
than fayorably with the county roads
of California.
! There is but one really bad piece
of road on this island There may be
lots of vehicIe-driyers laugh at that
statement. but the proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating thereof How
many of these local autoists have
ever attempted to drive a machine
from Truckee to Sacramento, or be-
tween any other two distant points on
the Coast that are over ten miles from
some big city? / refer to an ordinary
country road such as one finds on
this island, and not a ten or fifteen
mile boulevard connecting two cities.
| have stated that there is but one
really bad piece of road on this ISL
and, and that piece | found last Sat
urday in making trip via the Pail
to Aubrey's hotel at Hauula, on the
windward side. 1t is the stretch OF
what is supposed to be the belt road
or round-the-island road between
Waiahole and Haunla. The southern
two-thirds Of this piece of really bad
road is good deal worse than really
bad; it is. when subject to couple
of hours rain, practically bottomless,
and a disgrace to the island and a
shame on the people. The northern
small portion of the stretch referred
ito is of sandy formation, and even
when in bad state of weather, a
bottom of some sort can be reached.
Every so often some Of the super
visors and others interested take a
trip to the vicinity of this really bad
stretch of road. look the situation
over and return, leaving the tourist to
condemn. and the autoists ard farm
ers to cuss the whole outfit that has
anything to do with the repair of
roads It'll the supervisors make an
other trip as far as they can go with
out knocking the self-starter from
their machine
Like the beverage that made GER
tain Wisconsin city famous, Aubrey's
hotel is destined to make Hauula IA
nous. A few years ago Hauula would
be referred to as "just place" on
the windward side of Oahu, but with
the advent of Mine Host Aubrey, who
saw the future possibilities of the
place as resort. 1t is fast coming to
the front as the place" on Oahu
where every convenience of the mod
ern hotel is found, where the best
bathing beach on this island is
located, where the best or equal to the
best meals, of wholesome, home cook
ed, home-raised products. are served.
