Section 1 of Chapter LVI of the
Laws of 1888 gave the company
the further right to construct
tracks as follows:
Along the Esplanade from the foot
| OF Fort street to the foot of Alakea
street; on Queen street, from Alakea
street to Nuuanu street; on Nuuanu
street, from Queen street to King
street; on School street, from Punch
bowl street to Liliha street; and on
Fort street, from the water front to
School street.
The date before which the tracks
were required to be completed was
fixed at September IS, 1889. The
right of the company lapsed after
that date except as to those streets
and parts of streets upon which it's
tracks were already laid.
Section 3 Of the original Act
creating the franchise (Chapter
XXXIV Session Laws of 1884 is
as follows:
SECTION 8. The Legislature of the
Hawaiian Kingdom, or the Minister
of the Interior when authorized there
to by the Legislature, may grant to
one other corporation and no more
the right to use, either of the afore-
said streets for a distance OF seventeen
hundred feet and no more, upon the
following conditions: that each COM
pany, person or corporation using the
said track jointly shall pay an equal
portion for the construction and
of the portion of the
track so used jointly
This section, it will be seen,
completely breaks down the mon
opoly of the Tramways Company.
There is practically not a point at
which they are not exposed to
competition by a competing line.
From Judd street a trolley road |
could reach the water front either
by Liliha street or by Punchbowl. |
From east to west, it could run
rom the foot of Liliha street
long Hotel to Punchbowl street
md then if the proposed extension
hould be made of Palace walk to
Alapai, the way would be open
long Young almost to Punahou
treet. That street and Oahu Col
sge could already be reached by a
ne from the head of Emma street
through Punchbowl and Lunalilo
treets and Wilder avenue. From
ne corner of Punahou and Bere-
ania streets the way would be open )
ITO the Park by the mauka road
the Park authorities consented.
he same point could be reached /
Y a line on the beach road and E
rminating opposite Wilder & :
o.'s. It is easy to see that lines q
instructed in the most advanta- t
,ous of the ways indicated would b
It if they gave a good service, the
sst part of the through travel and .
fair share of the local fares. \
