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.
H H. Walker took the floor and de-
clared that Puunui's offer was no com-
promise, as the road would still De
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 1t.
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-
waii street would only open up part
Of Puunui and that blind alleys would
stin remain. At the present time it is
impossible for vehicle to turn at
the upper ends of the roads, and un.
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, II the Country
Club permitted the road along route
Z to be built, it would be exempted
from road taxation. End furthermore,
il other improvements were put ia
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 were no other
assessments.
Warehouse and Mcinerny spoke
very strongly on tne advantages of
Hawaii street extension and of the
view that it gave of the Country Clubs
grounds. They also told of the benefit
1t had been to Nuuanu Valley. at has
been the making of this valley said
McInerny.
j. F. G. Stokes said that it had
helped Nuuanu avenue, but had hurt
ruunui by putting it in pocket He
believed that they should live and let

live, and that the Country Club had
retarded the development of Puunui
by blocking it's 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-
ous1y objected to the Hawaii street
plan and gave a 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 tLey
personally were opposed to Puunui's
proposal; they would put the matter
up to the full directorate and the
board would report back to the i'm.
proyement club as soon as possible in.
