organizing of the Wailuku Improve
ment Association the matter OF re-
pairing and utilizing the cemetery
was again brought to the front, and
cemetary committee was appoint
ed, with Judge Mckay as chair
man.
Judge Mickey Immediately put
himself IN communication with the
surviving members of the original Pc
titioners and charter members, with
the result that the charter, granted
June q, 1876, and signed by William
L. Moehonua, Minister of the Interior
for Kalaukua Rex, and the deed to
one and one half acres OF ground at
the head of Vineyard street, Wailu'
ku. signed by H. A. P. Carter, Pres
ident and P. c. Jones, Treasurer, Of
the Wailuku Sugar Co., for consid-
Grafton of $4,000, we're found.
Efforts were made in every direc-
ton to find the Constitution and By
Laws and the secretary's minutes,
but no trace of them could be had.
Last Tuesday, however, one of Wal
lulu's legal lights was rummaging
through some old papers and accl-
IDENTIFY unearthed the much sought for
constitution. bylaws, and minutes.
These records we're turned over to
Judge Mckay.
Prior to the finding of these records
Judge Mckay had sent to Trustee
Harold Giles OF Honolulu a written
petition asking Mr.. Giles, who with
two others, one ON Maui and tn.
other on the coast, are the three
surviving officials, to sign TIE petition
praying Judge Kepoikai to grant
hearing and call a meeting, thus le
galizing any after transactions.
Upon investigation of the Bylaw
however, Judge Mckay found tina
"persons owning not less than ont
burial lot of sixteen feet square arr
members of the Association" whicl
if the persons holding the deeds Cal
be found, and these represent a ma
iority of the stock issued, meeting
can be held without going to court
and it is for this reason that Judg
Mckay, as chairman of the GENE
! terry committee, advertises that per
. sons holding these deeds communi
q cate with him.
The original signers to the pet
tion for charter were the Rev. W
lip. Alexander, Edward Bailey an
