have recognized the advantage which
will come from the extension of the line
and il is more than likely thS. the
>r,.edges Will be readily secured. AS
soon as the amount needed has been
pledged the first call of money TO start
the grading for the stretch OF the ROAD
Immediately above the present termi-
nus will be made, and the stock VIII
be made paid up gradually until the
entire line has been finished.
The route for the line has not been
laid out finally owing to the fact that
some OF the men whose support will
mean most to the road, men whose
subscriptions Will count. have asked
that they be given opportunity to ex-
anime the various plans so that they
may have an opportunity TO vote upon
the selection of the course. The sur
veycrs who have gone over the line
i have laid out three separate routes
They each run up the Eva side or the
/ Pauoa Valley. in comparatively
straight line from the end of the rails
al this time. the difference making At
self manifest when the crossing TO the
| Tantalus ridge begins. The lowest
route turns TO cross at 1150 feet eleva-
/ tion from the sea, while the highest
one runs up 10 1850 feet, the middle one
] being almost exactly between the two.
The proposed route highest uo the val
| ley will cross from Pauoa to Makiki by
the low pass between the peak of Tan
talus and Konahuanui. and thence pros
ceed down to the level OF the Schmidt
property and across to the Manoa Val
ley side.
The two lower level routes will cross
the tableland at the head of Pauoa
Valley and, turning to the sea, will
come around the point where. after
crossing the neck between the lower
and upper ridges the wagon road
winds around the head of Makiki VAL
LEY. By one of these lines the cleo
trio road is carried above the wagon
road and by the other il runs below
The conformation of the mountain side
is generally followed there being in
only one or two places any bridging,

ters along the side of the spur until il

easy crossing to the Schmidt property
