PUUNUI Eager TO GET BENEFITS
OF IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Law

Hearty good will was the keynote
Of the discussion last night when rep.
resentatives OF the Puunui district
appeafed before the supervisors in the
city hall and asked that Puunui be
declared an Improvement district
The request will be granted by the
supervisors, Engineer Whitehouse hav-
ing been instructed to draw up pre-
liminary report on the Improvement
plans as outlined In the petition pre-
scented by the residents Of the district.
One OF the features of the request
is that the Improvement shall be
made on an area basis. while other
districts have been declared on a ba-
sis of fronting.
G. ]. Boisse and J. G. Stokes, both
addressed the supervisors regarding
the request and stated that the resi-
dents whom they represent are very
anxious that Puunui shall be improy-
ed. They asked especially that an
outlet from the district to the Coun-
try Club, preferably Laimi road, be
created.

committee, declared the supervisors
should do all in their power to help
out the petitioners, but did not feel
that certain streets proposed in the
petition as main thoroughfares could
rightly be called so in justice to other
districts that are coming under the
frontage law.
Larsen stood stanchly for concrete
rather than asphalt macadam mention
ed in the request. I'VE will listen
to nothing except concrete" he said.
at is concrete with US first, last and
always. Well talk concrete roads
with you any time but Sundays"
Hollinger as Arnold had done, stood
against creating main thoroughfares
out of back streets, but declared him
self heartily In favor of the project
as generally outlined.
Whitehouse, city engineer, admit
ted that the Puunui people need an
outlet toward Nuuanu, and Supervisor
Horner expressed himself as being
in favor of the improvement. Engi.
neer Whitehouse will present his re-
port at the next meeting.

Transportation Problem for
Troops on BIG Island Looms
Large as Difficulty

III people VIII get back of us and
help 70 get transportation, 800 Boy
Scouts from other islands will come
TO Honolulu for the Carnival. and viii
work to entertain visitors. but II trans
portation Is not secured, the Boy
Scouts part of the Carnival win be
abandoned" said J. A. Wilder, scout
commissioner. today.
Mr.. Wilder Is Just back from trip
tc Hawaii, where he went to inject
new enthusiasm into the Scout move
ment. He found the three troops well
organized and the boys up to standard,
but he does not think there are as
many boys enlisted as should be.
-Hilo has three troops, the LIST
Troop, under Father Aloysius, the I'd
Troop, under Rev. ]. Knox Bodel. and
the Sd Troop, under Rev. T. Silva, and
all are good troops, but am not sat
isfied.r Mr.. Wilder continued. "Hilo
has at least 200 boys Of scout age who
should be enlisted. whereas there are
now but 81.
But men are needed now, even
more than boys. We have Is hard
working men interested In the Boy
Scout movement in Hawaii; We should
have at least hundred.
10 Not "piay Movement"
This is not a play movement. 1t
is serious effort to produce better
men all over the United States and to
train them TO care for themselves,
think Of others. and be patriots. The
Eoy Scout movement is a bulwark
against juvenile crime. and boys train
ed as scouts know what to do In times
of disaster and calamity.
mo man should be too busy to aid
in training the boys of today to be
good men and good citizens Is or 90
years from now.
I'VE need good men, too. For
poore scout is worse than no scout.
We want men who will work. to train

the boys because they are enthusiastic,
not because they think It is duty.
This is the only movement which
will reach the boys of the outlying dis
tricts on the islands. We must carry
IL to them. In Hilo, for instance, the
scouts, though progressing and doing
fine work. need help and encourage
ment There should be at least IS
men on Hawaii willing to give some of
their time to the boys.
THE troop OF Father Aioysius has
not been able to get building to meet
in, and are still using the porch OF the
mission. They should be offered q
better place.
Praise Far Workers.
THE men who are aiding the scouts
on Hawaii are all Of big caliber, and
are doing a great deal of work. /
hope soon there will be others to help
them.
"on Kauai there has not been any
scout organization, but have succeed
ed In interesting five or six men, and
there will soon be at least one troop
there. ! hope 10 have 100 scouts on
Kauai and 200 on Hawaii before the
Carnival, and later i want to see
troop on Maui.
IF this movement did not mean
something-the making of better men,
and the training OF future citizens-it
would not have advanced as II has.
Busy men and rich men would not be
backing it. Let me tell you something.
In Boston there Is an office where 81
typewriters are going all day and 80
competent executive men are employ
ed to handle the business. and this is
for the Boy Scouts of one state. Do
you think this would be II this was a
play movement, and did not mean
something definite and valuable?
Each troop of scouts, Mr.. Wilder ex-
planned this morning, is independent
of the other, but each troop Is visited
by inspectors and as far as possible
kept to the standard set by the Ma
tional Council.
