The widening of the thorourhfarc

makai properties were cut down az
much as they could be- and yet keep
the lots Of such depth as To permit 81
their Improvement The new extensions
~ the road have the additions on the
mauka side only. This means more or
less trouble along the frontages owing
to the improvements. but the one great
est stretch, that OF the Kapiolani es-
tate. comprised in the homestead of the
powager Queen and now the residence
OF the two Princes, has been made to
conform to the new line. the fence be-
ing back to the line, and the traveller
sees just what the boulevard will be
when its entire length has been treated
To Superintendent Boyds remedy.
The first lot which was cut back TO
the new line was that which is at the
immediate corner OF the road skirting
kapiolani Park on the eva boundary.
This is "a vacant spot which is the
property of y. $. cunha The fence
has been removed and the small trees
which were growing cut down, the inn
prOvement being accomplished without
material sacrifice of foliage. Imme-
/ diately adjoining, on the town side, is
the residence of Mrs. Lemon, where the
fences have not yet been removed, but
/ arrangements have been made. and this
will be done very shortly. There will
fall very few large trees there and
what remains will make beautiful APP
pearance. In the ocean View prop
erty of ]. Ottman there has been re-

ing the line straight TO the stream
Between the stream and the road
which runs back through to the rear
houses there are three stores, all small
ones, and these being the property OF
eN-Queen Liliuokalani. have been ar
ranged for the removal. The only
thing which delays action there Is that
the deeds of the property coded 10 the
! Territory have not Yet arrived from
| Washington, where they were acknowl-
edged, but J. o. Carter, agent for the
l nu
irving this week. There will be in the
same package the deeds to two unoccu-
pied lots, which are below the road
extending to the Kapiolani estate
| homestead.
| on the Eva side of the road running
| toward the mill is the corner prop
erty which is known as the one dollar
a-foot piece. that amount being the
sum claimed by the owner, the Kapio-
| lani estate. The lot is very shallow
| something close to 100 feet and the
| widening of the street will put the
| fence almost back to the house. The
| practical destruction of the property IL
/ the claim on which the large price is
based. Immediately below this lot
| come In the two vacant properties OF
ex-Queen Liliuokalani, the only build
Ing which must be removed being a
small stable. The moving will be a
matter of small moment as there is lit
tie vegetation there. Immediately at
| the corner of the two holdings is a
Government WELL furnishing water for
the sprinklers This well will be kept,
the pipe from 1t being run under the
| road to the curb line, where there will
be a standpipe from which the road
carts will be supplied.
Along the entire front of Pualeilanl,
I the Princes home, the fences have been
removed, the ground leveled and al
most all the stumps removed. The set
ting back of this long line OF fence
extending from the upper end of the
property, opposite the beach place of
the ex-Queen, to the Cleghorn road
caused some loss of ancient trees, but
now that the Improvement has been
made the loss seems inconsderable
only the cocoanuts being greatly
missed There were something like
fifty trees removed, some twenty being
| cocoanuts and the rest divided between
date palms and algarobas.
Below the Cleghorn road the old
| graveyard Is being removed. The bodies
being taken up are about thirty in
number. and all are being reinterred in
the lot at the rear of the church This
