WRONG VESTED TITLE
BISHOP WILLIS ACCUSES
KOHALA CHURCH TRUSTEES
Bought Property in Their Own Names
Instead Of the Incorporated
Church Of Hawaii--0ther
Synod Business.

Bishop Willis. at the Anglican synod
last night, accused the trustees OF st.
hugustine's chapel, kohala, OF sur
reptitiously deciding to themselves the
property formerly owned by ROBERT
Wallace, and acquired by the chapei
trustees by donations OF the parisnion-
ers OF the district. The bishop alleged
that this act was reprehensibie on the
part Of the trustees. as they should
have vested the property In the trus-
tees OF the Anglican Church In Hawaii.
When the trustees wrote 10 MN TOT
advice, he answered that the DEEDS
should be made out to the trustees oil
the Anglican Church In Hawaii. Next
he heard was a rumor that the prop
erty had gone to someone else, and
finally learned that the trustees had
acquired the property.
George Davies, as representative Of
st. Augustine In the Synod, onered az
explanation. When Robert Wallace
left Hawaii he decided to sell his prop
erty, which was adjacent to that OF
which st. Augustine chapel stands! u
was decided II would be a good par
sonage. Mr.. Wallace gave prefer
ence to the church people TO purchas'
the same. and mentioned the price ant
terms. The church people set aDou
to raise the funds and did their bes
to collect enough money. This the!
were unable to do except on the condi
ton that they place Tue property In tn
hands OF local trustees II was do tint
or let 1t go. They decided upon TN
former proposition, as the possession
OF the ground was necessity to them
as they had to reach the churcl
through his property. BY aking owe
the land this gave security that all tn
property would be held together.
was a part OF the agreement ny whic
the money was raised that the proper
ty should eventually be transferred t
