acres, which bring in annually to the
government Sl940. Roughly estimated
at present prices this land should rent
for 10000. or $4,000 a year.
On the island of Kauai the Wailua
sugar lands, held by the Lihue plan
tation, amount to about 5000 acres.
The annual rental is 5000. On the
same island Kekaha plantation lands,
under territorial lease until 1920,
amount to 1900 acres OF cane and
bring in $4,000. Waimea plantation on
Kauai has sugar land estimated at
200o acres and rents 1t yearly under
the present lease for $1,000.
One interesting feature of the feas-
ing of land under the old system was
that much waste land often went with
the arabic districts. Lava rock would
cover perhaps 80 per cent of a lease,
the remaining 10 per cent being avail.
able for sugar or other crops. At
Waiohinu plantation, for example, on
the island of Hawaii. the total land
included in the lease is 1850 acres.
Of this cane land is only $50 or 800
acres and the rental Is $500 year.
With these big leases now expiring
the plantation interests are naturally
anxious to know what disposition will
be made of the lands. 1t must he re-

Alien Enemies
Cannot Legally
Hold Realty Now
Walter Lindner and Alfred
C. Reeves Interpret the
Property Law

Walter Lindner, solicitor of the Title
Guarantee and Trust Company, who
is in charge Of its law department, has
answered the question, What would
be the effect of the declaration of war
against the German Empire upon the
real estate interests of Germans in this
country" This question is one of the
chief topics of discussion in realty cir
cles
Mr.. Lindner's Interpretation Of the
law is as follows:
"The law with respect to the rights
of aliens to take, hold, transmit and
dispose of real property is now eX-
pressed in Section 10 of the real prop
erty law as amended by Chapter 152
of the laws of 1918, which act also re-
pealed Sections ~, 13 and II Of the
real property law as they Heretofore
existed.
"Secton 10 empowers alien friends
20 take, hold, transmit and dispose OF
real property within this state in the
same manner as native born citizens
and provides that their heirs and de-
visees take in the same manner as citi-
zens. From this it follows that aliens
who took title before the declaration OF
the state of war took and still hold
title to their property, subject to the
possibility that it may be forfeited by

The aim of the organization includes
many needed improvements for the
West Side. At the start an effort will
be made to improve conditions on the
thoroughfares surrounding Central
Park and to exercise every effort to
have the pavements properly main
tanned and to have the streets prompt
~ and thoroughly cleaned Of dirt and
refuse, and to see that all sewers, catch
basins and drains are in good sani-
tary condition.
The installation Of a modern light
ing system on a uniform basis COM
mensurate with the Importance of these
thoroughfares will also be urged. In
this event Central Park West will have
its Gay White Way" like that OF
Sixth Avenue. The widening Of Cen
trail Park West by lessening the width
of the sidewalk along the wall of the
park TO about ten feet, thus giving an
ample roadway on each side Of the
streetcar tracks, will also be advocat-
cd. Among the other improvements
suggested are bus transportation on
Central Park West similar to that on
Fifth Avenue, a subway station at or
near 1O4th Street and Central Park
West. The organization, when COM
pleted, will cooperate with the Save
New York" movement
