General Orders, No. 242, War Dept., December 4, 1909
A partial survey having been made by Captain J. C. Castner, Quartermaster, U. S. Army, of the military reservation of Schofield Barracks (part of Waianae-Uka), situated about 19 miles from Honolulu, H. T., from which it appears that several errors occurred in the description of the reservation as given in the Executive Order declaring the same, dated July 20, 1899 (G. O. 147, A. G.
