practically an extension of the Waianae Valley, and is the 

 sole source of water sni)ply for the homesteads and ranches in 

 LuaUialei. 



The land in question is all government land on which there 

 is no lease. 



It has been surveyed by the Territorial Survey Department 

 and the metes and bounds accompany the recommendation of 

 the Superintendent of Forestry. The proposed reserve con- 

 tains an area of 3,743 acres. Tt is the unanimous opinion of the 

 land owners, of the Land Commissioner and of every one that 

 your Committee knows of that the land in question should be 

 made into a forest reserve. 



Your Committee therefore recommend that the recommenda- 

 tions of the Superintendent of Forestry to establish a forest 

 reserve on the land of Lualualei in the locality indicated, be 

 appro '/ed by this Board and that the same be recommended to 

 the Governor for reservation as a forest reserve. 



Your Committee herewith submit a formal resolution carry- 

 ing the foregoing recommendations into effect. 



We remain. Your o1)edient servants,
