On May 10, a permit was issued to the Kukaiau Eanch to construct and 

 maintain a telephone line across the lands of Laupahoehoe and Humuula in 

 the Hilo Forest Eeserve, Hawaii, on condition that the least possible dam- 

 age in its construction be done the forest. This line will connect up the 

 land of Maulua near Piha with ranch headquarters and will be a valuable 

 as well as convenient adjunct in the work of forest protection in this region.

 serves in this region. These will soon be erected so as to mark definitely 

 and permanently the reserve lands in this region.
