the Honolulu Plantation has been the subject of careful study 

 made on the ground l)y me in consultation with representatives 

 of the various interests involved. As here recommended the line 

 meets with their approval. 



RECOMMENDATION. 



For the reasons above set forth, I therefore recommend the 

 creation of the Ewa Forest Reserve, with boundaries as called 

 for in the description compiled by the Government Surveyor, 

 which accompanies and forms a part of this report. And I fur- 

 ther recommend that if this report meets with the approval of the 

 Board that the Governor be requested to declare the area a forest 

 reserve, after the hearing required by law, and to set apart as 

 compartments thereof the portion of the government lands of 

 Waimano and Wahiawa lying within the reserve boundary. 



I also recommend that steps be taken to secure the co-operation 

 of the owners of private land within the Ewa Forest Reserve, that 

 the reserve as a whole may be. brought under an efficient system 

 of forest management. 



DESCRIPTION. 



[Here follows a technical description of the boundary of the 

 Ewa Forest Reserve, compiled by Mr. W. E. Wall, Government 

 Surveyor. As the description is lengthy and will later be pub- 

 lished in this magazine as a part of the Proclamation creating the 

 Reserve, it is omitted here. The area of Ewa Reserve is 28,550 

 .acres, more or less.] 



Very respectfully, 



Ralph S. Hosmer. 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
