petition to you the following TO wit:
That you, Sir, as Governor of this Ter
ritory exert your Executive function
| IN bringing about to a successful end
certain land exchange in this district,
namely to viz. All of that portion
of the land of Honaunau situate as
follows; commencing with the bound
airy of Keel land running south with
the upper Government road, TO the
boundary of Honaunau and Keokea.
thence west to the old Kuakini stone
WALL thence north to the boundary of
Keel, thence mauka to the point of
commencement an area of about 500
acres.
2nd.-All of that portion of the land
of Keokea lying mauka and makai of
the main Government road say about
1000 feet mauka and about 500 feet ma
kai, it contains about 200 acres As
these lands are owned by the B. p
Estate and the people has to pay rent
for what land that they require. so it
becomes a hardship on the poor peo-
pie, as the resources of the district is
about exhausted, it is very trying to
them.
We therefore request you to give
the matter your early consideration
and endeavor to arrange with the
trustee of the said estate to accom-
rllsh an exchange, by given them part
OF the public lands in any part of the
Territory of the same value. And if
such exchange is successful. then the
said acquired lands may be divided in
to Homestead lots.
Respectfully submitted.
By Our Committee.
