A trail is to be built up Punchbowl
starting from near the head of Hack.
field street. This is for the benefit Of
tourists and the people of Honolulu
who desire to make the ascent for the
purpose Of securing the unusual view.
The Honolulu Improvement Club favors
the idea and passed resolutions to that
effect at its last meeting. Yesterday
the Promotion Committee at its reg
ular weekly meeting took action in the
matter. Fred L. Waldron, the newly
appointed member of the Committee
from the Merchants Association. was
appointed a committee of one to con-
ter with Governor Carter and Superin-
tendent Holloway on the subject.
The path to the lookout will be zig
gag trail. II has been suggested that
the work be done by prison labor and
Mr.. Waldron will consult the Governor
on this question. Flowers are to be
planted along the trail and II is to be
made as attractive as possible. Gov.
eminent Surveyor Wall has agreed to
lay the plans for the climb free OF
charge. John Kidwell Of the Improve
ment Club and Mr.. Waldron have the
pIopObitlOu III manu-. bOtn Will Chll On
Governor Carter tomorrow.
A grand view Of Honolulu, the har-
Dor and the surrounding country may
be had from the summit Of Punchbowl.
The idea is to make fascinating climb
for tourists desiring to walk within a
stones throw Of the center OF town. At
the top benches will be provided and
everything made as attractive as pos
sible.
