Paia, Hamakuapoko and other plan
tations. Haleakala ranch, the Enos and
Ferreira ranches, and other large and
small landowners have been busy, re-
Gently removing barbed wire from their
fences adjoining public thoroughfares.
There is dispute in regard to the
construction of the law, as to whether

been simply notifying property-ow

excellent one and should be strictly
enforced.
