President Campbell read the notice of the proposed Pupu- 
kea Forest Reserve Hearing, which was published in the 
Evening Bulletin of March 31 and the Hawaiian Star of the 
same date. 
Various maps showing the four proposed reserves were dis- 
played. 
The Governor asked if there were any objections to this 
land being set aside. 
Byron Clark stated that the fault he had to find was that 
the upper part of Pupukea is not included in this area ; and 
also some arrangement should be made with the Railroad 
Company to extend the fence. 
President Campbell : The petition received included all of 
the government lands. 
The Governor: The upper part of Pupukea will be set aside 
as soon as one or two descriptions are completed. It was ex- 
pected to have these descriptions completed last October, but 
they have been delayed. 
The Governor: I would suggest that we proceed to the 
three water reserves. 
]\Ir. Hosmer : The work of reforesting water reserves A, 
B, and C is well under way. 
Byron Clark: I want to ask about the fence, as that is one 
of the requirements. 
President Campbell : The Board of Agriculture and Forestry 
have advertised for bids and will proceed with the fencing as 
soon as the homesteaders have completed their work in this 
line. There is no object in going ahead until the fence is 
completed on the upper homestead lines. 
]\Ir. Ellsworth : The fence around the lower portion of Re- 
serve B is not on the boundary line, and this should be 
remedied. 
The Governor: You would need a gate there, would you 
not? 
Mr. Ellsworth : There is an excuse of a gate there now. 
Byron Clark: In regard to the piping of water — I find that 
some of the people are ready to put up the money for the 
pipe-line. 
The Governor: Is there not a spring on Reserve C? 
Byron Clark : Yes, but the pipe line would have to cross Mr. 
Owen’s place. 
The Governor : How much of a flow is there ? 
Byron Clark: It varies according to conditions; probably 100 
to 1500 gallons per day. 
The Governor : Could not a reservoir be built on Reserve C ? 
Byron Clark: A reservoir built above the spring is just what 
we want to control this water in order to give everybody a share. 
Mr. Ellsworth : By tapping the spring at its upper force, the 
pipe could be brought directly to ]\Ir. Owen’s line and from there
