OUTDOOR CIRCLE
MAKES A BEAUTY
SPOT At SCHOOL
Central Grammar Grounds Are
Turned Over to Principal
With Much Improvement

The tree-trimmers of the Outdoor
Circle have finished a piece of work
of which the circle is justly proud.
Under the direction of Mrs. James
Bicknell, who has charge of Central
Grammar school grounds, much has
been done. Mrs. Bicknell has spent
all of this year attending to the put
ting in order of these once beautiful
grounds and no doubt the future
years will witness the grounds as
beautiful as they were during the
time when a Hawaiian princess lived
there.
To Henry Freitas, too, much praise
is given by the circle. for he has been
untiring in his efforts to help put the
grounds as the circle wished them to
be.
Early last year. David Haughs, gov
eminent nurseryman; j. F. Rock, ter
ritorial botanist selected the trees to
be cut out, removing the poor speci-
mentS and saving the fine trees. The
dead wood from every tree in the
grounds has been removed, the flow.
ering trees have all been scientifical-
ly trimmed and pruned, the pods re-
moved to insure handsome flower

Bicknell, who has worked hard and
with such excellent results turned
over to Mrs. Sophie Overend a school
ground improvement we'll begun. The
Outdoor Circle feels Justly proud Of
its results. Mrs. Overend will make
of the school grounds a pretty garden
spot. The circle is more than CRATE

ways more than willing and is at
the beck and call of every member,

to go on with the work; the super

CROWD CHEERS
ASFIRST MANOA
DIRT IS TURNED
CONTINUED from page one)

Francisco. the contractors. in a few
well7chosen words presented the pick
and shovel to Mayor Lane. In accept.
ing them the mayor said;
The people of Manoa Valley are to
be thanked for cooperating with the
city government in beginning this
work. a work which I hope will not
step here but continue until the entire
island is laid out with good roads. We
have been charged with having poor
roads here on Oahu but believe that
now that the people of Manoa Valley
have come to the front, other sections
will also follow their good lead and in
a very few years we shall have as
good a road system as any place in
comparison with our wealth.
The mayor then called upon Super
visor Arnold. chairman of the road
committee. and he in turn praised the
MaIfoa Valley people for their cooper
alton.
1T has taken long time to get this
work started" he said, but now that
a beginning has been made there are
nearly a dozen other places in and
about the city where it is hoped that
road improvement work will be asked
for.
There is a large amount of road
work to be DONE" he continued, and
of course it cannot be done all at
once, but the board of supervisors are
working hard on the problems which
daily arise and when we go out of Of
flee next June, | believe we shall do so
with feeling that we have accom-
plished something towards the good
of Oahu, and shall leave for our sue
cessors a we'll begun policy of road
Improvement"
Supervisor Logan, the next speaker,
spoke on the frontage tax law and
showed how it is advantageous to the
people in different localities in build
ing the roads. In brief Logan said,
''the law provides that if the property
holders in any locality want their
roads repaired or paved, they pay for
il themselves and the cost is not
drain on any other section" Logan
also brought up the point that Homo
lulu and the Hawaiian Islands were
becoming more and more before the
public eye by the fact that mainland
contractor bid and got the contract
to build the Manoa roads.
Other officials who attended the
ceremonies included Supervisors Hol-
linger, Hornert and Larsen, A..
Committee; Richard H.
Trent and L. w. de Vis-Norton of the
Hawaii Publicity Commission, were
part of the rejoicing crowd. =.
A big gang of road-workers was IN
readiness and as soon as the ceremo-
MES we're over the laborers went to
work on the first of the road-breaking
to paving.
