shed and the increase of the source of water supply would be 

 fostered. 



The present Superintendent of Public Works is heartily in 

 favor of the project of having this land permanently set aside and 

 Mr. McBryde strongly recommends that it be created as a forest 

 reserve. 



The area is well protected by a strong fence and the two 

 laborers employed by this Board under the direction of Mr. Mc- 

 Bryde are constantly caring for the trees and extending the plant- 

 ings. 



For the reasons set forth above, I recommend that the Board 

 rpprove the creation of the Papapaholahola Spring Reserve and 

 that the Governor be requested to cause the land to be so set 

 apart. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.

Gentlemen : — I have the honor to recommend the setting

 Waiahole, District of Koolaupoko, Oahu. 



LANDS INCLUDED. 



The area proposed to be reserved covers a total of 1,168.55 

 acres and includes the government forest lands of Makawai at 

 the upper end of the main Waiahole Valley, the private land of 

 Hanakea, and the adjacent government forest lands of Kapiko- 

 kau and Waianu I to the north. On the north is the private land 

 of Waianu H, on the east or makai side are various private 

 grants and open public land, on the south is the private land of 

 Kaalaea, and the west or mauka boundary is the main Koolau 

 ridge. Various small kuleanas, given in the list at the end of 

 this report, are so situated in the valley bottoms that they could 

 not very well be excluded in describing the boundaries of this 

 proposed reserve which follow the most logical lines on the 

 ground. A techical description, C. S. F. 2906, has been supplied 

 by the survey office and the boundaries of this reserve are shown 

 in red on the attached blue print map.
