Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1908-07-09

1 Governor Frear has completed his
new form of conditions upon which
land will be sold in the future. He
has been in consultation with Land
Commissioner Pratt, Attorney Gen.
eral Hemenway, and Secretary of the
Territory Mott-Smith for the last few
days relative to the new scheme
which, after careful study of the
mainland laws, as compared with
ours here, and after picking out the
features which have proven good in
both, has been evolved.
| The new land sales agreement is
one that is suited for typical Hawaii
land, and for some land that is fitted
for only one phase of agriculture, one
iout-of-the-ordinary, other agreements
will have to be formulated. The con-
ditions of the new agreements are
modelled to great degree after those
that are In use on the mainland on
the land which is being reclaimed
The amount of land that will be CIV
en- under these agreements will vary
according to the kind of land. Gov
ernor Frear had the following to say
of the special agreements:
"The object of the conditions are
to make 1t as easy as possible for a
bona fide settler to secure land for
settlement and cultivation. and as
hard as possible for the mere specu-
lator to get It. We have therefore
Heightened the time that must elapse
before title can be secured. This
will make 1t less and less tempting
for the mere Spectator. or the man
who simply wants to get the land to
Isell to someone else. We have re-
duced the percentage of arabic land
that must be in cultivation in the
Iearly years to an amount that any
bona fide settler would naturally be
lexpected to bring under cultivation.
Instead of requiring house to cost
n certain amount to be built on the
land, during the first year he can
live in any kind of house he choos-
es, grass house II he wants to, and
to cultivating the land and to bring
ing It into u state where It will sup
port the settler.
Under the form of agreement that
has been in use the settler must have
10 per cent. of the arabic land under
cultivation at the end of the second
year, and fifteen per cent. additional
at the end of each subsequent year
until the end of the sixth. when he
must have 10 per cent. of the arabic
land under cultivation. Under the
new form 10 per cent. only is re-
CURED to be under cultivation at the
end of the second year and so per
cent. at the end of the sixth.
Instead of three and half years
residence during the first six years,
five years residence during the first
ten years is required, thus giving the
settler more leeway at the time he
needs 1t most"
The following Is the new form of
agreement as 1t has been formulated:
