THREE PRECINCTS
ON OAHU ARE NEW

the senate ana House OF representa-
tives of the Legislature of the Terri
tory.
The proclamation is shorter than
similar procamations have been in the
past, and sets forth very succnctly the
matters required to be set forth in such
proclamations.
Changes in precincts have been made
on Maui and on Oahu. On Maui two
new precincts have been formed. The
Lahaina precinct has been divided into
two precincts the dividing line being
the northern boundary of Olowalu and
the polling place is at 0lowalu school
house. The other new precinct is in
Central Maui where the precincts in
cluding and touching the Kula region
and Makawao have been so rearranged
as to get in another precinct. This will
shorten the distance many voters will
have to 60 to their voting place by
several miles.
| On Oahu three new precincts have
been added, one in the Fourth District,
and two in the Fifth, and in addition
change of boundary between two pre-
cincts in the Fifth has been made.
The new precinct in the Fourth is
made by dividing the old first and sec
ond precincts into three, and number
ing them consecutively, first second and
third, the remainder of the precincts in
the district being advanced one num-
ber, that is the old third is now the
fourth, the old fourth the fifth, and
so on.
The new first precinct is the extreme
eastern end of the island southerly of
the Koolau mountains and has for its
westerly and southwesterly boundaries
line down the ridge on the east side
of Manoa valley to Manoa stream,
along the stream to the road little
| below its junction with the Palolo
stream, thence easterly along that road,
Campbell avenue, Castle road, Diamond
Head avenue and line in extension
of Diamond Head avenue to the sea.
In other words it extends to the Manoa
stream and to Kapiolani Park and to
the road along the northerly side of
Diamond Head.
The second precinct includes the Dia-
mond Head region, the Kapiolani Park
region, Waikiki, and everything south
of King street and the Waialae road
as far west as line from the corner
of King and Punahou to the long bridge
on Ala Moana.
The third precinct includes every
thing north of King street and Wal
alae road, east of Punahou street to the
Manoa stream. 1t includes the McCully
tract region, the baseball park region,
the Punahou region and Manoa valley.
In the Fifth District on the Koolau
side of the island there are two pre-
cincts instead of one in Koolauloa, and
two instead of one in Koolaupoko. This
shortens up the distance voters have to
60 very considerably The polling place
of the first precinct is the courthouse
at Kaneohe, and of the second IS at
Waiahole schoolhouse.
The third precinct begins at the line
between Koolaupoko and Koolauloa and
extends to the southeast boundary of
Laie, with the polling place at the Yin
Sit clubhouse, at Kapano, Punaluu.
The fourth precinct is the remainder
of the district of Koolauloa, and in.
cludes Laie, Kahuku and the Pupukea
region. The polling place is at Ka.
huku.
The change of boundary is made be-
tween the old seventh and eighth, now
the ninth and tenth. The boundary was
formerly the Kalihi road so that those
on the westerly side of the rode voted
in the seventh preciHctsan those on
the easterly side of the road had to go
several miles Ito polling place on Lii
liha street. Now the boundary is made
the easterly ridge of the Kalihi valley
so that all voters in the valley vote at
the same place. place in the valley.

the convenience of voters, and will re
suit in voters now having so far tC
go to their polling places.
For instance the voters of Niu, Wal
alae, Kaimuki and Palolo, instead o.
having to come way down to Young
and Alexander streets, will find thei
polling place at Waialae and Kapahul,
roads, and the Manoa valley people viii
find their voting place at Wilder ave
nue. and Punahou instead of at Younl
and Alexander. In the country the say
ing of distance will be in miles.
The boundaries of all precincts viii

tion published in this issue.
