The Public Lands Committee reported
favorably on Senate Bill No. to re-
serve tracts of land at Waikiki and
Tantulas to be developed into places
pleasing to the eye and beneficial to the
public. 1t also reported on the PROPOSE
ton to similarly reserve Punchbowl for
a park. 1t recommends this also stat
ing that the bed of the crater is fertile
, and can be made one of the most at
tractive parks in the world. 1t is sug-
gested that water could be obtained
from KahuaBai or Pauoa sprin=z as
pumping would be too costly. The com
mittee felt, however that it would be
useless to set the land aside without
making provision to improve it as ii
would consist merely of a tangled I'M
passable thicket of algeroba, mimosa
and lantana so it suggested adding to
the bill the words providing that the
same be properly developed as a public
park without unnecessary delay"
The Public Lands Committee recon-
mended that the land at Piihonua, Hilo,
be declared a public recreation ground.
