This is the substance of a letter
read before the committee last night
at public hearing on resolution
protesting against cutting up into lots
that portion OF the cemetery in which
graves are located. The meeting was
attended by about 100 Hawaiians-
men, women and children. w.:
Following is McInernys letter:
In reply to your letter OF the 18th

of certain piece OF land owned by
me and known as Kalaepohaku, which
has been used without authority in
the past for burial purposes, have to
say: ~.-. .A

is held under Torrens title as a part
of the McInerny tract, the whole COM
prising some l54 acres, more or less,
So far no part of that portion used
as a burying ground is plotted, the
subdivisions having been the sur
rounding ground. ...& :. T.: 2
Owing to the difficulty of selling
lots contiguous to cemetery, it was
and is my intention to not only for.
bid further buriais, which have al
ready done, but to efface, as MUCK
as legally possible, any evidence OF
its former use, SO as to insure the sale
of adjoining property.

through a resolution now before your

: Members of the, senate ways and

new plan to take care of contingent
fund by the substitution of an emery
ency fund instead. to be regulated by
heads of the finance committees Of the
two houses and expended not by the
governor but by the treasurer of the
territory.
This is the plan which members Of
the lower house are said to be favor
ing, and it is reported that Speaker
Holstein himself considers it a fair
method of handling contingent appro-
priations. The fund provided in the
plan is $4,000. 1t is believed that a
number of senators will stand out for
$100, 900 in the fund instead. The plan
as submitted on paper to the senate
ways and means committee is as toll
