sidering that the capital of this kingdom
should not be longer without such accom-
mediation as cities OF smaller size and i'm
portanee possess, respectfully request
the requisite permission and authorization
for myself. and any others who may asso-
ciate with me, whether incorporated here
after or not, TO lay down tramways and
run cars for the conveyance OF passengers,
etc. in this city Of Honolulu and suburbs,

kukui street to Nuuanu street. also along
Beretania street from Fort street to Nun
anu street. thence along Nuuanu street
towards the Pail, also along King street
from beyond the Oahu Prison road 10 Wal
kiki. Ii Is under consideration, the laying
of rails and running cars ON Beretania
street, but il this Is decided upon, due no
tice will be given before the expiration OF
the six months allowed. as well as OF any
other street or road it may he decided TO
run cars upon.
1t is intended at present to lay single
line of rails only, three feet and SIX inches
gauge, the cars to be drawn by horses or
mules only: no locomotive will I've used.

air or electricity be considered advisable,
this will be matter for consideration with
the then Minister Of the Interior. or Ivy
arbitration if necessary.

of rails will he laid with the necessary
turnouts. still if the traffic shows that the
public would BE- better served and accom-
modated by Il double line, that will be laid
il necessary before the expiration Of the
time allowed for the construction of the
road. except in those streets or portions of
streets rather narrow for double track.
In fact everything will be done that the
engineer considers right and proper for
the comfort and convenience of the people.
The rails Will be laid in the center of
the streets as near as may be, and 1t will
not be necessary at any point to interfere
with the free passage of vehicles of any
kind.
In the more crowded portions of the
routes the work will I've done at night or
early morning, so as not to interfere with
the free passage of vehicles

cen pounds per yard, and where necessary,
heavier rails viii be employed. They Will
