OW Engineer
Mr.. j. Lightfoot, the we'll
known attorney, being present as
an interested visitor, begged the
favor of moment to express his
high appreciation for the Island
and its people. He had been pro-
foundly Impressed by the beauty
of the scenery, the fine quality of
the roads and the progressive,
public spirit of the people.
In spite of the emphatic in
junction of the tenth command

for Honolulu our county engineer.
As that command however did
not specify County Engineers he
hoped that this bit of coveting
might be overlooked.

length in the interest of child
welfare, the substance of which
We will publish later. In con
cluSion he preferred IA request
that the Chamber add to its per
