I present the following scheme for
the combination and extension of the

if carried out will cover the whole city
and have all the territory of the place
in the care of some one of the clubs.
Beginning at the Diamond Head end
of the city, leave the Waialae, Kat
muki and Palolo club and the Kappa
hulu clubs as at present, advising the
iazfac TO combine with the Diamond
Head club; let the two Waikiki clubs
unite, and add to their territory all
the rice and banana plantations and
mauka to Beretania avenue; let the
Alexander street and McCully clubs
unite and make their boundaries King
street and Beretania avenue on the
south, Punahou street on the west,
Kaimuki on the east, and Manoa Val
ley club on the north and east. Leave
Manoa Valley club as it is. Let Pu-
nahou street club, the Punahou, Ma
kiki, Pawaa and King street clubs
combine, taking as their territory the
plat bounded by King, Punahou and
Piikoi streets. and the MalSiki Valley.
Let the Beach road club take in all
makai of King between Waikiki and
Punchbowl streets. Let Prospect
Heights, Thurston avenue and Pensa-
cola street clubs join and take in all
between Piikoi and Punchbowl streets
mauka of King, including Punchbowl
hill and Tantalus. Unite Emma street,
Fort street and Pauoa clubs, extending
their sphere of influence to all
mauka Of King between Fort and
Punchbowl streets, including Pauoa
Valley. Unite the School street and
lower Nuuanu clubs and give them
all between Fort and the Nuuanu
stream mauka of King and makai of
Judd. Let the upper Nuuanu take in
the whole valley mauka of Judd
street. Let the Li1iha street club ex-
tend it's territory to all mauka of
King between the stream and Asylum
road and mauka to Judd. Let the
Kamehameha club expand and take
all between Asylum road and Kalihi
road from the sea to the mountains,
com bining with Alewa Heights club.
Let Kalihi club remain intact. Let
a new club be formed taking in all
the territory makai of King between
the extension of Asylum road and
Puuchbowl street.
This plan would, l think, have the
OF having strong clubs and
having the whole ground covered.
