JAP AND HAWAIIAN VILLAGES
A letter from Mrs. Nakuina relative
to Hawaiian village was read as fol-
lows:
Honolulu, January 16, 1906.
A. Gartley Esq,
Dear Sir: 1T has been suggested to
me that you are the person to be adj
dressed in regard to a certain subject.
On reading the suggestions offered by
the papers in regard to a Japanese vii.
lage in conection with the attractions
Honolulu would have TO offer tourists,
| offered some land of mine at the head
of Gulick street as an ideal site for
a Japanese village, and right across
stream from there on the projected ex-
tension of School street much larger
piece of 12 to 13 acres more or less that
would be an admirable site for "A Ha-
waiian village, and was directed 70
write to you. The latter subject has
been discussed with me many time by
several interested in promoting the at
fractions Honolulu could be made to
have. The piece at the head of Gnlick
street is also on its intersection by the
extension of School street and conf
prises Az to 8 acres on makai of
School street and perhaps acres more
or less on mauka of street. The inter
section by projected extension of
street renders uncertain the area until
definitely settled by surveys. These
lands have very large and valuable
water rights, that is, for taro or rice
cultivation.
j ask $4,000 for piece on head of
Gulick street makai of School street
and $4,000 more for mauka piece if
needed. Will sell land across river at
500 per acre as Il whole or for at least
one.half of land. / think it good
thing for all concerned if the two vii
lagos should be little close together
SD as to be easily visited, one from
the other and Mt the same time should
be far enough away from the business
portion of the city to ensure compara-
tive freedom from the constant pres
ence of the rougher elements, and at
the same time away from the finer
residential sections which should be at
fractions in themselves.
Gulick street is beautifully maca-
damized and is very frequently used
by automobilists who want smooth rid
ing. These lands are only n few min
utes walk from King street with its
car line.
! have also a suggestion to make and
that is that the Promotion Committee
make every endeavor through the Coun-
ty or otherwise to secure =. g. Jones
large lot at the foot of Kali Avenue
and opposite the Kalihi Grocery store
for Public Park for Kalihi.
No doubt Mr.. Jones with his we'll
known public spirit could be induced
to sell at what it cost him and waive
all profit other than the pleasure of
seeing beautiful park helping to
beautify that now somewhat bare and
forlorn section. There are enough vot-
ers and taxpayers in the neighborhood
who would be only too glad to avail
themselves of the opportunity of list.
ening to the band should park and
band stand materialize there.
hope yDu will pardon this somewhat
prolix letter, but Kalihi would like to
share in some of the good things
planned, only unfortunately her resi-
dents do not number many possessed
of surplus cash.
Yours truly,
EMMA NJ. NAKUINA.
