ment of Superintendent Boyd.

Superintendent Boyd's Waikiki road

shock this morning when the claims

opportunity for filing claims, and the
amounts aggregate $S5,2SS.2O. One of
the property owners, the KapiOlani Es-
tate, wants 81 a square foot for its
land, which is s43,56O per acre. The
John Ii Estate wants so cents a foot
and it has over Sc acres of this land
valued at over $4,000 per acre.
In only one case among those filed
were money damages waived. Il. s.
Cunha is willing to forego receiving
any cash if the government will move
his fences, pipes, etc, and put in
curb. f, M Swanzy, for the Judd
property, offers to reconsider a claim
of $500 if the government will divert a
stream which enters the land involved
in the claim.

Superintendent Boyd will proceed ia
try and arrange compromises with the
claimants whose claims he thinks are
TOO large. He has already made set
Elements with a number of property
owners and has had negotiations with
most of those who have put in claims
There appears to be a general disposi-
ton to let the matter come to legal
issue, however, and commissioners will
probably be appointed by Boyd to hear
claims and award damages, as well as
assessing betterments.
