Discussion Opens.
E. W. Sutton opened the discussion
by stating that while he was president
of the Country Club he was also attor.
ney for Mr.. Sherman, and as the two
interests might conflict somewhat, an.
other director would present the Coun-
try CLUB views.
II. H. Walker took the floor and de-
clared that Puunui's offer was no com
promise, as the road would still DC
on the Country Clubs land and the
club would have to pay the road
assessment. Hawaii street extension
would be compromise and the Coun-
try Cub would help Puunui to get it.
He described what an asset the club
was to Honolulu and how the tourists
were coming to him for visitors cards.
1t was explained by Boisse that Ha.
wall street would only open up part
of Puunui and that blind alleys would
still remain. At the present time 1t is
Impossible for a vehicle to turn al
the upper ends of the roads, and I'm
less these roads are connected the
same intolerable conditions will con-
tinue. Hawaii street extension will
be more expensive anyway, as there
are two houses in the way. In regard
to the compromise, he added, Mr.
Sherman and the Country Club are
acting as unit, and have agreed that
one will not consent to what the other
toes not want. I'VE have offered to
compromise more than half way" he
said. I'VE have fully acceded to Mr.
Sherman's demand and very largely
to that of the Country Club"
The question was asked by F.. T. p.
Waterhouse, whether, If the Country
Club permitted the road along route
to be built, it would be exempted
from road taxation. and furthermore,
If other Improvements were put in
Puunui, would the country Club have
to pay further assessments.
In reply 1t was stated that all the
improvements were to be put in at the
one time and that there we're no other
assessments.
Warehouse and hIcInerny spoke
very strongly on the advantages 9f

view that it gave Of the Country Clubs
grounds. They also told of the benefit
it had been to Nuuanu Valley. 1T has

retarded the development of Puunui
by blocking its circulation He re-
minded the Country Club directors of
the claims Puunui had TO their clubs
consideration on account of the cut
ing off of Puunui's old trails and roads
by the club.
The assessment of the Country Club
for the road, said Sutton. would be
$4,000. at seems to me" he remarked,
that Hawaii street would fill all Pun
nuts requirements and well help you
get it. Mr.. Sherman will contribute
$500 and the Country Club $500
towards it.
The Puunui people present strenu-
ously objected to the Hawaii street
plan and gave flood of reasons for
their objections. They asked the
Country Club directors to put the mat
ter up to the Country Club members,
but the directors present did not take
this view. The latter said that they
personally were opposed to Puunufs
proposal; they would put the matter
up to the full directorate and the
board would report back to the inn
proyement club as soon as possible in
favor OF Hawaii street eytens on.
