by the Territory as the basis of exchange for other lands needed 

 by the government and this recommendation is made at the re- 

 quest of the Commissioner of Pubhc Lands which is contained 

 in the attached copies of correspondence. 



The four parcels of land desired to be withdrawn from the 

 Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve, and returned to the juris- 

 diction of the Land Commissioner for exchange purposes, are as 

 follows : 



1. Lot 1, to Trustees H. P. Baldzvin Estate. Area L52 Acres. 



This is situated just within the boundary of the Honolulu Wa- 

 tershed Forest Reserve, east of Sugar Loaf, between the new 

 Round Top road and the edge of the Manoa Valley cliffs. It is 

 open land covered with Hilo grass and scrub guava. This is 

 part of an area which has been granted in exchange for land 

 that was used in the construction of the Round Top road and its 

 withdrawal from the reserve is now requested in order to clear 

 up the records. 



2. Lot 2, to Trustees H. P. Baldzvin Estate. Area 0.137 Acre. 



This is a very small area within the same reserve northeast of 

 Sugar Loaf adjacent to the present new road which was granted 

 in exchange for land that was needed by the Territory in the 

 construction of the Round Top road and its withdrawal now is 

 requested for the same reason given above. 



3. Unnumbered lot. Frear Exchange. Area 0.103 Acre. 



This is an area of only 4485 square feet at the turn of the 

 Round Top road near the corner of Grant 4577 to W. F. Frear. 

 It is on a bank at the edge of the cliff and is only open grass land. 

 The Land Commissioner desires to use this as a basis of exchange 

 for a piece of land of approximately equal area in the above 

 grant which was taken and used in the construction of the new 

 road. 



* 4. Lot 7B. Szvanzy Exchange. Area 2.43 Acres. 



This is an area further mauka between the top of Tantalus 

 and Manoa cliffs adjacent to Lot 7 A, Grant 4864, to E. H. Wode- 

 house. The northwest portion of this lot is open land covered 

 with Hilo grass and guava bushes, while the eastern portion, 

 covered with native forest trees, is a narrow sloping strip adja- 

 cent to the Manoa cliffs and surrounded on all sides by privately 

 owned land. No portion of this lot is needed for administrative 

 purposes and its withdrawal will not be a detriment to the re- 

 serve, surrounded as it is by private land on all but the north- 

 west side. This area of 2.43 acres is desired by the Land Com- 



"* Not approved by the Board.
