ALL ROAD TAXES should BE KEPT

What County Needs

What County Needs
The city and county engineer sub
mitted to the board of supervisors last
June a report showing what was
needed to build part of the roads Of
the city and county when the question
of the proposed bond issue was up for
discussion. This report was as fol-
lows:
Summary OF 5eIt Read Requirements
Completion OF Pail wall. ...,$ 10000
Concrete road. Pail ... q, 500
Concrete road from Pail to

Total $685., 300
How Can Money Be Raised
1t can readily be seen that all of
the foregoing items are needed; but
where is the money coming from to do
the work with the present income Of
the city and county. when you take
into consideration that the entire
amount of money collected by the
city and county from road taxes dur
ing the past eight years has only
amounted to S56S, 72153?
Under the law as 1t stands today,
the road taxes must be spent in the
district in which they are collected,
and the board Of supervisors can not
spend one cent of the road taxes col
lected IT. Honolulu on any of the other
districts. no matter how urgent the
need of repairs in any outside dis
trict
The legislature now being in ses-
sion, would it not be more in the line
OF progress to have this law amended
to read that all road taxes collected
in the city and county of Honolulu
shall be spent for the maintenance
and upkeep of the roads within the
city and county? Let the board of
supervisors be the best judges OF
where the money is most needed.
City Streets In Bad Shape
Our city streets are with a few ex-
ceptions all going to pieces and the
city, and county government with its
present funds cannot take care Of
them and look after all the other re-
quirements of the city.

engineer submitted to the board of

smooth, hard, dustless surface which

The economical maintenance of roads
under automobile traffic demands
that such a type of road be con-
strncted.
Traffic alone has not been the sole
cause Of pavement destruction in this
city There are many instances
where failure has been for the most
part directly due to improper design.
Liliha street, for instance. has no
foundation and poor drainage School
street. Kuakini street, and many
others In this section of the city
have failed under moderately hight
traffic, due TO lack Of proper founda-
tion and proper drainage Another
reason for pavement failure. has in
many cases. the perhaps very gen.
orally, been due to insufficient main
tenance. Their destruction in many
cases is the result of continual neg
ligence. due to lack of ample funds
for road maintenance. Examination
CT the latest auditors report will
show that there was less money spent
on road maintenance on this island,
and particularly in the city of Homo
lulu. during the year 1916. than IN any.
other year since the inception OF city
and county government. This condi-
ton or insufficient maintenance has
existed so long that 1t Is altogether
impossible to supply proper road re-

made public statements in which they endorse the value of such ingredients as are contained in Father John's Medicine.
 These great physicians say in substance, that these ingredi- ents "are beneficial notably in wasting diseases and those maladies which are connected with or have their origin in colds and in facilitating and wasting diseases To detail here the statements of these various authorities would require too much space, but if you desire to see these statements in more complete form write to Father. John's s Medicine, Lowell, Mass. and we will be glad to give the names of the authorities quoted, with brief excerpts from their public statements.

STILL ANOTHER LOCAL CITIZEN
 PRAISES HIGHLY
City Is Another One of the Many LaX-a-TOnc Boosters.

'Well," said MT. Martin you can see that I told the truth that local people are endorsing LaX-a-Tone. It is a simple matter if you are skepti- cal as to the virtues of this tonic to simply investigate and find out as to the truth of our assertions We are letting your own people right here in New Britain advise you as to whether this remedy has the merritt
 MT. Howell, over his signed testi- nonial, says:
 1T find LaX-a-Tone a remedy of great merit. I have used it for stom- ach trouble. I have had severe in digestion that would effect me witl, distressing symptoms. No matter what I ate it would turn sour, gas would form and I would bloat up ter ribly. It is needless to say, that I have tried in many ways to get re- lief, but none of them presented themselves until I used Lax-a-Tone, and I cannot recommend this remedy too highly"
 Tired, ( weary people who seem to have no ambition with sallow skins, furred tongue. sour acid stomach, have gas pains and bloat up until they are uncomfortable, will find Lax-a-Tone a GodsenG. It will in crease the appetite, enrich the blood, relieve constipation, tone up the nerves and, in fact, will surprise you with the results you will receive in one weeks time.
 The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Economy New England Drug Co.,, 365 Main St., where he is introducing this remedy to the New Britain public.
