ings.
General meetings are called from
| time to time, and we are now looking
| forward to large and interesting meet
ing of all the members to be held one

are invited to attend. We would like
to have every property holder In our
section join and assist In the work OF
identifying the district.
/, Az our name implies, we cover q
large district, and in addition to the
tracts above named, we include the
kipahulu Tract.
One feature of our Club Is our Arbor
Day, which has been set for Thanks
giving Day Of each year. On the 30th
OF November last over 500 trees were
planted along the streets by members
Of the Club. Besides, at the same time
large quantity OF algeroba seeds were
scattered In the vacant lots that have
been cleared OF lantana. We are now
employing at the expense Of the club
q man to take care of the trees In the
streets, and soon hope to employ others
TO look after the interests Of the club
We have In reserve a large number OF
trees which will be ready for planting
as soon as the streets are graded and
ready to receive them.
The work on the Waialae Road that
has recently been commenced by the
/ County has increased the interest In
our club and encouraged the members
| to considerable extent, and the club
has already taken action showing their
appreciation to the County for the
undertaking. We hope that arrange,
ments will soon be effected whereby all
/ Of the streets OF the different tracts
| will be taken over by the government,
and we are also looking forward TO the
construction OF cross road connecting
, the Waialae road with the Diamond
Head beach road.
| While our water supply is fair, we
hope eventually to have a reservoir In
a more favorable location TO the resi-
dents on the higher elevations. All OF
this work is having careful attention
| by the committee in charge
| We also hope for better car service,
and certainly feel as the district i'm
I proves and builds up that the Rapid
+ Transit Company will consider our
needs, and should we be SO favored ID
the present time We believe immediate
results would justify our expectations
There Is perfect harmony in the club
and our object and aim being for the
general Improvement of the district
the members appreciate the fact thai
any work done in either tract along thl
line OF Improvement will eventually no
suit In benefit to all.
| 1t has been made matter Of record
that our club is heartily in accord with
the Improvement work as taken up by
the Promotion Committee, and we
stand ready at all times to cooperate
and assist In the general plans.
We hope that the successful condi
tion of our club will encourage other
districts, and that we shall eventually
see clubs started and improvement
work carried out all over the Islands.
