III Naalenu, kau, March IA large and
very enthusiastic meeting Of the pre-
cinct clubs Of the Seventh and Eighth
Precinct, Second District, in joint
assembly was held at Hilea, Kau. on
March Sd. The important questions
considered were: First-The proper
division of the Island into counties.
second-The selection of a candidate
for appointment on the Boar1 of Reg
istration, on which Kau claims the
right of representation. Thlrd-The
endorsement OF candidates for roliti-
cal appointments by the Precinct clubs,
to be a prerequisite to such appoint
ments.
Approve Dole's Plan.
The question of of Island division

the rest of the Island would have
about 100000 This is unjust on its
face. Then geographically the four
districts could have county seat at
Waimea or even Kailua which would
be much more convenient to Hamakua
than Hilo. The roads from Hamakua
to Hilo are often so badly washed out
that for days II is impossible to pass
over them, and many times bridges
are destroyed with the same unpleas.
ant interruption Of travel.
On the other hand, 1t is seldom II
ever the case that travel in any of the
four districts is made even difficult by
the elements. To be sure, Hamakua
with the Hilo combination would be in
