Want Territorial Roads

top OF Haleakala.

20 rebuild the road up lao valley from
Oan fund money, same to be charged
against the county, and the same
course Is asked in order that the
county may obtain q county building.
In discussing the matter Of having
belt roads buih by territorial funds,
w. =. Pogue, who presided at the
meeting in the absence Of President
wadsworth, pointed out that Maui has
every right to ask such aid, inasmuch
as prior 10 the establishment OF coun-
ty government such roads were built
by territorial funds on all OF the isl
ands except Maui, and that Maui had,
OF course, borne her share OF all this
expense.
Ask Help for sanltarlum !
The need Of liberal support for the
kuias farm and sanitarium was pointed
out, and the legislature urged to make
appropriation TOR the purpose, mas
much as the Institution is more than
a county affair.
Backs Farm Loan Bill
While not willing to commit itself
on the merits OF the farm loan bill
advocated by the Haiku Farmers As
ISOLATION, the chamber went on rec.
ord as believing in the principle OF
such measure, and 1t therefore rec.
commended 10 the legislature that a
bill of this kind tie enacted.
LITTLE Fish Law
The chamber asked that the law
relative to 2e-foot nets for catching
the shiaii bait fishes lao and nehu be
changed 80 as to apply equally to all
the islands. instead Of applying only
20 Maui as at present.
more Money for oiinda
~fnasmuch as n. F. Balch, loan fund
engineer, declared that about $4,000
would be needed to complete the new
reservoir at olinda with concrete
lining, this amount was asked by the
chamber.
Would Have Grape Growers Aided
because The Kaupakalua winery is,
not going to make any wine this year,
and the Portuguese grape growers OF
the district are hard put to know
what to do with theis grapes, the legis.
iature is askei 10 amend the law so
as to permit these growers to make
wine and sell came in any quantity
at a nominal license fee. II also asks
that the legislature lend any other
aid IN fits power to provide means for
finding other use for the kaupakalua
