CITY HAS NEEDS
BESIDES ROADS,
LARSEN CLAIMS
Supervisor DWeIIs on import
ance of improving Water
Supplies and Sewers

Bonds. bonds,. shouted Supervisor
Larsen at last nights board meeting.
IF we are going to have any sort OF
bonds / want plenty of money for
sewers and water"
Larsen declares that there is too
much attention centered on the need
of the city for new roads, and not
enough on its need Of better fire pro-
lection and sanitary service.
Our water mains in many districts
are totally inadequate to supply water
for a really big fire." he said. And
there are many streets where there
are no fire hydrants at all What are
we going to do? Wait till half the
town burns down some time?"
Larsen believes, as does Harry Muir.
ray. manager of the department. that
the cost of maintaining the sewer de-
partnent should come from the gen
eral fund and sewer connections made
with every dwelling in Honolulu as
sanitary protection for the rest OF the
people of the city, not only as con-
venience for the holder OF the priv
ilege.
He said last night that as soon as
a definite bond issue was proposed by
the hoard he would see. that a pro-
vision was made in II for the gradual
extension Of the sewer system to
every street and alley in the city,
trusting to the legislature to change
the laws providing for maintenance.
Supervisor Charles n Arnold. chair.
man of the road committee, promised
that the city engineer would have a
report on the street and road I'm.
proyements needed and their est.
mated cost within week. And tnes
will cost much more than $3.50 600,

pealed to make the suggestion, which

ture from the fact that the park plans

fefred them to the land commissioner.

Because of the heavy snowfall last
winter, Forest rangers found 1t neces-
sary this spring to remove two feet OF
snow from the Beaver Creek Nursery
in Utah, so that the young trees
might be uncovered by the time they
were needed for spring planting on the
National Forests of the region. Part
of the snow was taken off by use OF
shovel and pick. BY spreading thin
layer of fine soil over another part,
the natural melting of the snow was
FASTENED sufficiently to make shovel
ing unnecessary. :.
