the ground.
The committee considered several
ways In which the plan might be ear
ried through. One plan is to carry
the street extension through in a
straight line, in which case it will

other plan which was considered was
to run the extension in a curve or in
!. broken line in such manner as to
have it connect with Kilauea street.
This plan has the advantage that if
it is carried out the new street thus
created will run from Hotel street
clear through to the waterfront.
