LABOR FOR ROAD
over TO KAILUA

Permission: Only Way to
Get There is Horseback


Governor PinBhdni Is to BE- asked
10 come 10 the reiiet o. the people
of Kailua. on the windWard side OF the
island. and 10 furnish territorial pris-
uners il possible. TO build some sort
OF a road whereby they may get to
and from their homes
At the end OF discussion on the
kailua question last might at the
meeting OF the board OF supervisors,
in which Kaiua residents had told OF
the terrible condition OF their roads
Supervisor Single moved that the
mayor be considered a committee OF
enc TO wait on the governor and see
If help is forthcoming from the terri
tory.
Come over and help as, cried the
Kailua people. like unto the ancient
Macedonians. Judge Frank Andrade,
Arthur Rice and " C. Achit acted as
spokesman.
We can neither 20 to kailua nor.
get back. said Judge Andrade It
is indeed a pathetic situation. for the
poor working people are losing the
fruits OF their labors and their pro
duce is rotting on the ground because
they are unable TO get il TO market.
Have To Go On Horseback.
But one way is left to enter the
district OF Kailua, and that is by
horseback The road has become so
bad that pack horses cannot even be
used and the people are in a terrible
plight.
Artbnr pica ,JacIarad tbat LoIo -
any kind would be appreciated I'VE
just want road that we can get a
team over he said. I'VE do not
care If ii is full OF chuck holes. and
four miles would be all we need
Achi's appeal was that the city
change the Hakipuu appropriation,
using $4,000 or even $1,000 to help
out Kailua. He did not believe a
bond issue would help out his people.
There are at least $4,000 bags of
rice down there said Achi. which
cannot be. taken to town. Likewise
there are chickens, pigs and taro on
which the small farmer has to depend
for living. Use some of your Haki- /
pun money for US and come to the |
help OF the poor man.
Supervisor Single rose and stated |
that the question was not new TO him
He had been ever that afternoon for |
look at the road with Road Engineer |
Robert Chase, and the engineer had |
reported that nothing could be done
at the present time to remedy condi. /
tions.
/" Depiorable," Says Single.
Il know your condition is deplor-
able" Single told the Kailua dwell.
lers, land we are willing to do every
thing we can, but it seems impossible
at present to grant your request. We
have come to point where larger I
move has to be made
Single related then how he had APP 4
pealed to the governor to arrange for
the sale OF certain beach lots on the
side in order that money!
might be secured for road around
TO Makapuu point that would be of
permanent value. and how the gov
ernor had refused on the grounds that
the time is not yet ripe for such
action. He said that complaints are
coming in to the road department
from other places, sometimes of ami
mails killed in straining through the
deep mud holes.
Il move now Single said at the
close OF his TALK, that the mayor lie
appointed committee of one to wait
on the governor and see If we can
not get band OF Territorial prisoners
10 put the Kailua road in better con-
dition."
The motion carried and Mayor Lane
that he would carry out
he wish Of the board.
