TRAFFIC ON new
CONCRETE ROADS
CAUSE OF DEBATE
Supervisors Voice Varying
Views as to ACCESSIBILITY OF
Allowing Early Use

Whether the newly-payed parts Of
Kalakaua avenue and Kalfa road
should be opened 10 traffic now came
In for considerable argument Tuesday
evening It the meeting of the board
of supervisors. While a suggestion to
open the former road received no
backing, the question of opening Ka-
liza road will be again considered Sat
urday noon when report on its con-
dition from the engineers department
VIII be heard.
Hollinger started the argument by
demanding to know why the section
of Kalakaua as far as Fort De Russy
has not been opened. He said the con-
s'crete had been down for 30 days. Arm
old admitted this but declared that the
entire street should be opened at one
time and not piecemeal and as the
tother members concurred the matter
was dropped.
Larsen then took up Kalia road, de-
claring that the concrete had been
down IA days and is perfectly safe
| for light traffic There are large
number Of people who are absolutely
cut off," he said, 'and do not think
they should be inconyenienced. They
have agreed to hire a watchman to
keep heavy vehicles off the street and
move the street be opened"
Hatch opposed this in no uncertain
! words. The people are showing q
very poor spirit" he said. IF they
/. want it opened before the time stated
in the contract The work being done
in that district is excellent and we
should not interfere"
Coming TO the support OF Larsen.
Arnold said that all the roads in the
Beach Walk district had been torn up
without regard to giving the people
an outlet. There are many tourists
living there who have come here to
enjoy the Carnival and they should
not be forced TO walk just because
they can't get their automobiles done
there" Arnold said. 'Kalia road has
been opened and closed again on the
say-so of residents living above it,
but not by the people below. For
this reason believe Larsen's motion
Is right. l also move, therefore, that
II the engineer and contractor con-
sider,i il all right, the road be opened.
/ We shall hear what the engineer has
to say next Saturday"

LOGAN inquiries
ABOUT KAIMUK|

In reply to a protest from Super
visor Logan that frontage improve
ment districts had not been brought in
fer Sixth and Ninth avenues, Kaimuki,
although he had asked for them sew
eraI times. Arnold, chairman of the
road committee. said Sixth avenue had
been held up by C.. d. Pringle, who
wanted 10 cents foot for his land.
which was considered too much. Re-
Gently, however, Pringle had agreed to
exchange the amount OF land needed
for the road for territorial land and
when this mater was Strengthened out
the Improvement would go through.
In regard to Ninth avenue, he said the
engineering department simply had
not got to il.
Logan said that all that was wanted
was an asphalt macadam road, but
Arnold disagreed with him, saying that
the board had already gone on record
as favoring concrete for all improve.

make no other as 1t was the best

CITY MUSTPAYFOR
WALKS and CURBS

Declaring that 1t is the duty Of the
city to pay for the relaying of side
walks and curbing in the Beach Walk
district where the changing of grades
make it necessary, the board of super
visors Tuesday evening went on record
as being in favor Of such procedure.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the board by protest from
the residents of, Beach Walk. who
claim that the grades were established
in 1914 by the city and county engi-
neer's department and in 1916 were
reestablished when the improvement
district was formed. The first curbs
and sidewalks wereIlaid at great ex-
pense TO them, they,said, and now that
many must be reiaid they believe
the city should pay for them.
Arnold said that II the contentious
of the residents were true, the city
should pay. There are. however, Ger.
tain places where the sidewalks dip at
driveways which iaR menace" Arnold
said. "a
The engineer, vas instructed to
check up the grades and bring In q
report. ~ qkt ~

TO MAKE
SURVEYS At Once

Preparations already have been
made by the water and sewer depart
ment of the city to start making sur
yeys Cor the improvements on the
water and sewer systems just as soon
as the bonds have carried. Manager
Harry E. Murray stated today that the
surveys probably would be commenced
within ten days or two weeks. Most
of the profiles have been made, he
said, and the preliminary work will
include complete estimates of cost Of
the various items in the different
projects.
Unless held up by lack of material
due TO freight congestion, the work
should be completed within one year
after actual work is started.
In connection with the proposed
bonds an interesting problem was
brought to light today as to just what
procedure would be followed in Sc
curing the approval OF the president.
As these are the first bonds floated By
the city the question arose as to
whether they should be forwarded by
the mayor direct to the president or
to the secretary of the interior
through the governor. This is point
that the attorney-~eneral probably will
be called upon to decide.
The water department would like to
secure the services of number of
volunteers to work In behalf OF the
bonds next Wednesday. All such vol
unteers are asked to telephone to the
bond headquarters in the Kapiolani
building. Phone 2195.

LAIMI ROAD IS
LEFT FROM Plan

Anthony Lidgate's protest that
Laimi road be not included in the
Laimi, Park and Puiwa improvement
district was sustained by the attor-
ney's department in an opinion pre-.
scented to the board of supervisors last
night and the board voted to eliminate
that part of the district from paving.
The opinion was based on the fact
that improvements on Laimi road did
not include an entire block, as the
frontage improvement laws stated i'm
provements must. and the city and
county could not get a favorable deci-
sion II the matter were taken to court.

An old time paper once the property of the late Beriah Rathbun of Church street. has come into the possession of John E. Tanning, of Broadway. is in = teresting just at this time. While it is not dated, it was probably a record of a public measure shortly after the Civil War.
 It is a subscription paper headed as follows:

As the means of assisting in the maintenance of a Brass Band in this city, by encouraging it's practice. and also of providing pleasing and ra- tionaI source of public entertainment, the undersigned agree to pay the sums subscribed to their names respectively. for the purpose of securing @ series of Free Concerts during the Summer, from the Norwich Brass Band: said Band agreeing to play once a week in the evening, a some public spot, cen traI and convenient of access.
