tends and viii extend beyond the
tracks of the said Hawaiian Tramways
Company along said King street a dis
lance of approximately $500 feet into
| and through a pOpulous portion of
said city which now has no street car

| thereof living beyond the point to
| which the tracks OF the said Hawaiian

| That the means of communication
and transportation of passengers be-
! tween the said western portion of
Honolulu, including that portion now
reached by the tracks of the said
| tramways company, as we'll as the
portion lying beyond the same. is eX-
tremely inadequate to the public ne
ceSsitieS and, in atlantis opinion. there
now exists an urgent public necessity
for the earliest practicable installation
of a speedy car service to and through
of Honolulu lying beyond Liliha street;
That as road supervisor and said
deputy superintendent of Public
Works ii was and is the official duty
of affiant to examine, report upon and
supervise each step taken by the Ho
nolulu Rapid Transit and Land Com
pany in it's proceedings looking toward
the installation of it's system upon the
said King street, and affiant has per-
sonally examined and supervised each
of said steps and proceedings as the
same have taken place;
That from such investigation, super
vision and knowledge, affiant knows
that each and every of the steps and
proceedings taken by the said Honolu-
lu Rapid Transit and Land Company
in the installation of its system of
railroad upon said King street, has
been in accordance with the franchise
and charter under which it is acting.
and in accordance with the rules, reg
ulations and orders of the Superin-
tendent of Public Works and of affiant
in his official capacity as aforesaid,
and that in opening said King street
and constructing its said railway line
thereon, the Honolulu Rapid Transit
and Land Company is now in all re-
SpectS acting in accordance with the
terms of said franchise and charter,
and the orders of the said Superintend-
ent of Public Works;
That the work of constructing said
street car line by said Honolulu Rapid.
Transit and Land Company along said
King street is proceeding speedily and
with as little interference with the
public use of said King street as pos
sible:
That no serious Interference with the
use of said King street as a public
street and highway. either to the gen
eral public or to the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company. nor any interference
other than Slight and temporary de-
lays of travel owing TO the heavy use
of said street, has been caused by the
said construction of said track along
said street or otherwise, by said Ho- |
nolulu Rapid Transit and Land Com /
pany; the material eXcavated for the /
purpose aforesaid and material to be /
used in the construction aforesaid be- /
ing deposited on the lower side of said I
street, being on the opposite side of /
the street on which the tracks of the
said Hawaiian Tramways Company
are located; the said last named tracks
being located on the upper side of said
King street;
That the distance along said King
street from said LiIiha street to the
end of the tracks of the said Hawaiian
Tramways Company which will be par
alleled by the track of the said Ho-
nolulu Rapid Transit and Land Com
pany now being constructed. is ap-
400 feet;
That along 1,500 feet of said distance !
the ties and rails of the said railway
being constructed by said Honolulu
Rapid Transit and Land Company
have been laid and the trench filled.
so that the same is no longer an OBJ
'truction to public traffic along said
street. and for LOO feet of the re-
nainder of said distance the said con-
'truction is partially completed; that
rom personal inspection made by
,ttiant, OF the said street and work. if |
he rate at which the said work has
heretofore progressed is continued, all
