War Department Is
Anxious to Get

s. e. Damon's summer place near
Moanalua may be secured for military
purposes at Kahauiki. Negotiations
are now in progress between the mill
tary authorities and the representatives
of Mr. Damon in the city for the ac-
QUESTION of the property for the mill
tary post. Altogether there are about
seventy-fve acres in addition to that
now owned by the United States at
kahauiki which in the opinion of the
military commission appointed to de-
eide, is necessary for the construction
of a military post.
The land included in Mr.. Damon's
place is laid out in gardens and walks
and there is a good water supply upon
1t. 1t adjoins the tract already in pos
session of the United States and the
military authorities have come to the
conclusion that they want the Damon
acres also. The decision is not due to
any wish to acquire the improvements
upon the place, but the seventy-five
acres are all that is lacking to give the
United States the entire tract between
the two hills at Kahauiki. These few
acres are wanted so that the entire
tract within the range and extending
beyond the mountains could be utilized
for military purposes Negotiations
with Mr. Damon's representatives have
been in progress for some time, but so
far they have resulted in nothing, and
probably no conclusion will be reached
until after his return from abroad Mr.
Damon 1t Is said does not want to con-
vey his title to the United States or
give up his home and so far there has
been no agreement to sell, even though
price was of no consideration.
