As predicted in the Star-Bulletin
yesterday, a number of property-own-
ers in the Kewalo district have filed
a petition in circuit court asking an
injunction restraining the Lord Dung
Engineering Company from continu-
ing the big reclamation project in pro-
gress in that section of the city. The
petition has not yet been granted,
however, and will not be for several
hours more at least, and Attorney
general Thayer, who appears as coun-
sci for the territory. also named as
defendant, expressed the opinion to-
day that it will not be granted at all.
He is inclined to believe the case
will he thrown out of court.
At present therefore the project is
not checked, even temporarily. At 2
o'clock this afternoon the attorney
general filed demurrer to the petit
ton, and argument was begun on the
demurrer before Circuit Judge Rob-
inson.
The petition, says the attorney-gen.
eral, recites identically the same
facts as those set forth in the suit
UIOuSnI- wv o5O W sup
the same project, by Cecil Brown.
Practically the only difference be-
tween the two is that Browns COM
plant was based on the argument that
the statute under which the project
was undertaken was unconstitutional,
while the present one alleges damages
by salt water as the reason for stop
ming the work -
In the former suit the court ruled
that tde statute was constitutional and
that ne contract was good. IIasmuch
as at least two years notice was given
all the property-ewners now COM
planning, Thayer Is inclined TO think
the new protest Will be of no avail.
The plaintiffs in the present case
consist of about ten members of the
family of j. A. Magoon; also the Hus-
tace-Peck Company, the A. B. johann
sen Mill Company and the Oahu Ice
and Electric Company. The last-Eam-
ed firm, however, entered protest
this morning against the use of its
name in the complaint, an official of
the company advising the attorney
general that the Oahu Ice and Electric
Company does not oppose the filling
in the Kewalo district. As a resul

large amount of money for new equip

a prosperous enough condition to war
rant the increase in capitalization. The
stock dividend will be distributed pro

LEASES At
Low FIGURE IS
BOARD POLICY
Land Commission Makes Offer
to Pioneer Mill, Which Lat
ter Is Now Considering

Agreeing on a new policy, conceiv-
cd to be necessary under the changed
conditions of the sugar industry of
the islands, new policy which means
short agricultural leases on very rea.
sonable terms, the land commission
met this morning at special session
to consider the application of Pioneer
Mill Company for 100 acres of pas
tire and cane land at Wahikuli, in the
district Of Lahaina, Maui.
The meeting concluded with a pro-
POSITION made to the company to
lease it the land for a term of five
years, S. an acre to be paid annually
for the cane acreage, % cents for the
pasture land. In the application for
the lease the company agreed to pay
81 for the cane land, 25 cents for the
other property included in the area.
J. F. Hackfeld was present at the
meeting in the interests of the appli-
cation.
In discussing the changed condition
of the sugar industry here, and the
influence it should have on the COM
mission in leasing government agri-
cultural land, Chairman A. w. Car
ter stated that no lease should be
made for a term in excess Of five
years, and that estimates on the rem
tai value of land, made two or three
years ago, should not be binding on
the commission now in making new
agreements with lessees.
AS an instance, the case of the land
now offered for lease at WahikuIi was
