TO TAKE ACTION.
Petition Presented for Extension
of Queen Street.

u a
Of Queen Street.
II was only about a week ago when
the matter OF the extension Of Queen
street into the Kewalo tract was men
toned and the impeachment of few
feet OF stagnant water preventing such
IN ex ,ension dwelt upon.
The street continued out as it would
be il the obstruction was removed
would mean a great convenience to the
general public and a greater convent
ence still TO the people who have bought
lots in the new and what will material
iZe into one of the most beautiful sub
urbs OF the city.
To show what a great desire there is
on the part of a number of the
Nrincipal business men of the city, the
following petition relating to the Queen
street extension is published:
To ]. A. King, Esq,
Minister of Interior:
We the undersigned, residents and
taxpayers OF the city of Honolulu, do

walo, said extension of Queen street
being graded through to the boundary
line of Kukuluaeo: and upon the ac-
quiring of the said piece of land your

Gentlemen:-I am directed by the
Minister of the Interior to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your petition of --
date asking that he will acquire, for
street purposes. a certain piece of land
at the southeasterly end of Queen street
and open Queen street through the same
to connect with the road through Ke-
walo-and to request that you will
amend the same by anneXing map
showing location of property OF abut-
tors and of owners and statement OF
who of the owners or parties with in
terests concern thereto with request
for a jury, etc. Please see Sec. 3, Chap.
LXXIII, Session Laws of 1892.
The petition is herewith returned.
l have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
]. a. HASSINGER,
Chief Clerk.
That is just where the matter stands.
Mr.. Desky has not sent another COM
mrnication to the Interior Department,
but has allowed the matter to rest
pending whatever action he may be
successful in arranging.
1t would pay people to go out to the
end of Queen street on South and just
see what is referred to in this article.
The unanimous opinion will certainly
be to continue the road and thereby add
to the beauty of the already beautiful
city of Honolulu. But then what is to
be done? Something was said about
the Board of Health yesterday and it is
lust possible that someone who spoke
of this means to have a conference with
that body soon.
