orable Secretary of the Navy, l have
carefully examined the available IA
cilities afforded for the establishment
Dor of Honolulu, and, in compliance
with your request, l have the honor to
inform you that the following named
lands and water front will be re-
quired:
LIST: The water from, lying between

pective wharves, slips, and their ap-
proaches.
End: The blocks of land embracing
lots No. SO to 81, 100 TO 131, including
Militant street to the intersection of
Halekauwila street; and the Govern
ment water lots lying between the

shall recommend that lots %, so, 81

released as soon as they can be spared.
While l realize that the occupation
of the designated property, especially
on the water front, will result in tenn
porary loss to the Hawaiian Govern

mately prove OF substantial benefit TO
the city.
If agreeable TO the Hawaiian Gov
