Mr. Hosmer: Of course, technically the reservation does not 
take effect until the existing lease runs out. 
The Acting Governor : Are there any protests in writing or 
otherwise against the creation of this reserve? 
Mr. Hosmer : There are none. 
The Acting Governor to Mr. Guilford Whitney : I understand 
you represent the Hamakua Mill Company. 
Mr. Whitney: Yes, through their agency, T. H. Davies & 
Company. 
The Acting Governor : And that you appear in favor of the 
creation of the reserve. 
Mr. Whitney: Yes. 
The Acting Governor : I presume we shall have to fence this 
land. 
Mr. Hosmer: I understand it is already fenced — the lower 
cane field fences protecting it. 
Mr. Campbell : The question of fencing can be embodied in the 
agreement with the Hamakua Mill Company. 
The Acting Governor : Are there any further matters to be 
brought up in connection with this reserve? 
Mr. Campbell : May I suggest, that these seven acres of land 
be created a forest reserve, as there are no objections to setting 
this area apart, and that the proper form of official proclamation 
be prepared and signed by the Governor. 
The Acting Governor : I will sign such a proclamation. 
The hearing then adjourned.
