| On the adoption Of the previous
question, rcoved by Harris, the reso-
luton was adopted.

had been stated in the press that
the Kapiolsni Memorial Building,
now being built at the corner Of
King aud Alakea streets encroached
upon the latter street, and alleged
that other buildings were similarly
placed III this city, and that the
Public Lsnds committee make an
i'm mediate Investigation. He said
the building was practically com.
pleted, and if wrongly placed, the
responsibility lay with the Govern
ment, whose neglect lad brought
this about.

responsibility, the Public Works
Department only attended to the
construction, the Survey Office laid
out the street Ii es, aud surely there
was recourse at law.
