"W9ihiM presents a similar prob

the Waiolama project are to be met
here-and eventually overcome. Com
pairing rhe two projects:
Il. Waikiki has an area Of 500
acres. comprising about 200 land titles,
while WaloIana has an area OF 40
acres, comprising only 80 titles.
-, The amount Of fill which even
tually will be required for Waikiki will
be approximately 100000 cubic yards,
while only 215,000 yards we're required
in Waiolama.
AS the comparison suggests, I'M
dOubtedly the most tedious and intri

work Of searching titles, and of bring

will be possible TO proceed without
tear of litigation.
"DrainaGe is a factor of Importance,

difficulty is to obtain the immense

Speaking Of stays, they are doing

trend Is toward elegance in material

Washington. d. c., Sept. 11.-Since
