PLANTATIONS MAY
HAVE TO GIVE AREAS
tContinued from rage one,I

tention to the fact that full details
could be had by application to the
land office, would be the best policy.
Brown said that a lease of pastoral
lands should be at all times suscep-
tible to application for homesteads,
and Carter believed it would be well
to adopt a rule that lists of leases
be published at certain intervals, to
the effect that leases were made un-
der certain provisions and that at
any or all times applications could be
made for use of such lands for home
steads.
The resolution adopted by the board
was as follows:
Before action upon any proposed
exchange, sale or lease of land is
taken by the board, notice Of inten-
ton so to do shall be published by the
secretary once each week, for eight
weeks in the English, Hawaiian and
Portuguese languages in the City and
County of Honolulu and the County
in which the land in question is To-
Gated, which notice shall name the
applicant and describe generally and
identify the land covered by such APP
plication, in case of sale or lease the
upset price proposed, in case of an eX-
Ichange, the land offered in exchange,
and shall call upon all persons desir-
ing to object because the land should
/ be homestead or otherwise, to present
such objections in writing or in per-
son on a date to be named in said
notice within ten days after the last
day of publication"
and Commissioner Marston Camp
bell submitted the leasing of the gov
eminent portions of Waiakoa and
Alae. and 4, Maui The Cornwell
ranch requested that these lands be
inserted in the lease of Waiohuli and
Keokea lapds. It was impossible to
do this, said Campbell, as the surveys
were not completed at this time and
the applicants were informed that the
lease would be advertised separately,
Andrade moved that the board ask
the attorney general for an opinion
on the section of the law having to
do with exchanges of land, Carriers
idea being that no land over 40 acres
and no land worth over $4,000 could
be exchanged. Marston Campbell
wanted light on this subject. Was
sthis a double provision or did the 40
acres and $4,000 clause apply to a
single land transaction.
Methods of advertising were con,
siderably discussed. In Honolulu
there would be continuous notices
published of all lands involved, weber
as Kauai or Hawaii or Maui notices
would have to do with only land mat
tiers on the respective islands,
Marston Campbell wanted to pre-
sent all accumulated applications, etc
to the board, so that publication could
begin at once and the business could
be quickly advanced. Kinney urged
keeping a clean docket, the board
acting as each matter came up.
Kinney thought Brown, after being
in harness for a while could tell bet
ter what he was worth by way Of
remuneration, and Brown modestly
stated that he was willing to wait &c
find out what work he had to do ant
what it was worth ethin
Kinney moved that the Secretary
be authorized to publish all applica-
tions passing through the land com
missioner without waiting to submit
them to the board. This was car
ried, If any cases come before the
secretary wherein the secretary hal
doubts, a meeting of the board will
be called
