SWEET POTATOES

Sweet f,Otatoes are the most com
mon OF vegetables 10 he found in Ha,
wall and it may be that from this very
fact the sweet potato is less appreci-
ated here than elsewhere. In Europe,
where the food IrObiem is most seri-
Gus. il is now coming into recognition.
Its use is now being urged in Italy
and on the subject Consul B. Harvey
Carol, Jr. at Venice, Italy. writes to
the department OF commerce in these
words:
In view of the shortage Of cereals
in Europe, a writer in an agricultural
paper published at Padua urges an eX.
tension OF the cultivation Of the Amer
lean sweet POTATO. This potato is
properly described as sweet, pleasant,
nutritious, capable Of being used as a
substitute for bread, and its use will
tend to diminish the use of sugar Its
cultivation in this district is easy and
good crops are obtained.
Sweet potatoes are used to a limit
ed extent and may sometimes be found
in the Venice market In this district
they are grown principally near Ro-
Vigo, in the zone of the lower Adige.
Adjoining this district certain quaint
ties are grown in the Mantua district,
near the mouth of the Pc. The vines
of the sweet potato plant are used
here as forage"

ALEWA Street
AND 9TH AVENUE
TO BE IMPROVED

After months of begging ana be-
seeching on the part Ct the residents
of the respective diStriCt. two nov i'm
provement districts we're set on their
way by the board of supcrv 5Ors Tues
Gay night. Alewa street, from WylIie
10 Park in Puunui and Smith avenue,
Kaimuku, from Waianae to Diamond
Head road, are the two districts and
the engineer was requested TO prepare
the plans and specifications.
The paving on Alewa street Is to be
constructed of a siX-inch concrete base
with lava rock curbing and storm
drains of concrete. To pay the cost
of the preliminary work the board
passed a resolution appropriating $500.
When the matter of paving Ninth
avenue came up, Arnold read long
letter from Assistant Engineer Fred
0hrt advising against it because Of
the excessive cost due to the. fact that
the cost of installing storm drains and
water pipes would equal the cost Of
the actual improvement Of the street.
He said the land here is very rocky
which would bring the assessment to
over S. a front foot.
Supervisor Logan was rather in
censed over the letter, declaring tina.
the engineers office had repeatedly
tried to block any attempt to improve
the streets of Kaimuki. He moved
that the resolution establishing Ninth
avenue as a frontage improvement Is
trict be passed The motion carried.
1t was announced at the meeting
that Ninth avenue is the first of sew
eral streets in Kaimuki which it is
the policy of the board to pave.
Another step towards the widening
of Hotel street eva Of Fort was taken
when a resolution creating, defining
and establishing Hotel street between
Nuuanu and Bishop as an improve
ment district was passed. The next
step is the final report of the engi-
neer and then bids will be called for.
