City Engineer Says at Present
Rate Would Take is Years
to Complete Task

That, at the present rate OF con.
struction under the frontage tax pay
ment plan, it will take more than is
years to build the 1915 miles OF
streets which Honolulu now requires
is the opinion of City and County En-
gtneer A. S. Cantin, backed by an ar
ray Of figures to prove his contention.
Just what the condition of the streets
now in existence would be at the end
OF the II years of new street building
is matter left to the Imagination OF
the board Of supervisors. Moreover,
the figures make no allowances for
the further growth Of the city, nor any
provision for additional streets that
would be required by such growth.
Mr.. Cantin's letter to the board says
there are 1881 miles of streets to be
maintained and constructed under the
Permanent Improvement act common.
ly known as the Frontage Tax Law.
Ten and seVen-tenths miles 400 of
streets were finished and constructed
during 1917 at cost of approximately
$518,000; this includes street widening
and extension, engineering, etc. At
this rate of progress, he says, it will
be something like Is years before
1881 miles Of streets will be COM
pleted.
This brings up the question of what
progress can be made in 1918" he
says, "also the maintenance of roads
not taken in that year by the Perma.
nent Improvement Law.
1T takes at least three months to
prepare an Improvement district be.
fore bids can be called for. This de.
lay is due to the legal procedure CALI
ed for under the Improvement Sta,
tutes.
THE contractors with their present
equipment can only absorb so much Of
the program at nominal price. The
price will increase for the work when
new contractors bid, owing to pur.
chase Of equipment, etc.
Transportation and the ability to
sell bonds will be- a controlling factor.
Still the vital question remains:
What shall be done to maintain exist.
ing roads, the majority Of which are
beyond patching"
Not only is the crying need for
streets themselves, and for streets
kept in good repair, involved in this
question of frontage tax improve.

terworks and sewage is involved.
Some sort of bond issue that will
cover the immediate cost of this most
necessary civic improvement seems
inevitable. Honolulu must have an
ample and safe sewage system, water.
works sufficient for the city now, and
to care for normal increase in the
population, and street work common.
surate with her needs. The present
frontage tax system will not provide
funds to- cover these improvements.

HEALTH HINTS

Even those who take their vaca.
tions along in the waning end of the
summer season must give thought to
ways and means of avoiding extreme
heat if they are to return to city
tasks refreshed and in good health.
Much summer sickness and great
deal of ncomfOrtableness may be
avoided if reasonable care Is eXercis-
ed in the choice Of a vacation place.
Ordinarily the questions which are
asked when one is seeking place for
the holidays are about the characis.
of the fod and bed, the extent of the
social life ana
games and sports.
These are important but they are OF
secondary Importance as compared
with the question Of the healthfulness
of the locality in which it Is intend
ed 10 rest during the warm days. Va.
cation sanitation, in other words,
should be considered.
Don't chose place where the
water supply comes from stream
which receives the drainage of hui
man habitations or place where the
water is drawn from shallow we'll
or we'll that is apt to receive the
drainage of out.houses.
One of the things which is desired
by city folks in the country is milk.
And milk which is produced by dirty
COWS in a dirty stable and handled by
dirty hands is unfit for human con.
sumption. The best advertisement
any country resort can have is a
clean, airy, wholesome dairy in which
clean COWS are MIXED by clean labor
ers.
Don't go to summer resort where
the windows and doors are not care
fully screened. Flies, mosquitoes
and ether insects are dangerous car
riers Of disease germs and are to be
avoided.
A resort without good bathing fac
illties Is no resort at all as far as
the keep cool and keep well problems
are concerned.
