OFFERS TO BUY
CLUB PROPERTY

A new angle in the fight between
the Country Club and George Sherman
and the residents of Puunui as to
whether Circle drive or Hawaii street
extension is the better mauka outlet,
developed last night at the meeting of
the board of supervisors, when letters
which John F G. Stokes had sent Of
fering to buy from the Country Club
and Sherman the land through which
Circle drive is proposed to run, was
read The reason for the offer, &C
cording to the letters, was to combat
the contention that the land would
not be benefited by the improvement.
The offer to the Country Club is a
price equivalent per acre to five times
the average taxation valuation per
acre on the whole and that to Sher-
man the taxation valuation plus 10
per cent In both cases the terms are
$500 down on acceptance, to be paid
when the board creates the Punnui
district and the balance to be paid
one month after the creation upon
receipt of the deeds. Stokes said
that he would pay all assessments and
that the offer would remain open for
IA days. .-.- r

the offer and the letters were ordered
