association, put your pipe-line through and then supply meters 
to record the quantity each man uses. The meters and their in- 
stallation will not tax each person more than $9.00. The water is 
there for the use of the homesteaders and they can easily control it 
themselves. 
The Governor : Can you not get the existing canneries to 
establish a branch ? 
Mr. Ellsworth : An effort was made on the part of Mr. Dole 
to establish a cannery this season. 
The Governor : How much of a cannery could you keep going 
there ? 
iMr. Ellsworth: Two thousand tons for this year’s crop. Eifty 
thousand cases. Mr. Ginaca made his contract with them last 
fall — I think it was October — and since that time there has been 
a good deal of doubt as to the result. 
Mr. Hosmer : I would suggest that since the greater portion 
of this land is on the Pupukea side, and as a shorter name is 
always desirable, we refer to these lands in future, not as the 
“Pupukea-Paumalu Eorest Reserve” but drop the ‘‘Paumalu” and 
call the tract the Pupukea Eorest Reserve. 
The Governor : There is nothing to prevent changing the name 
as this is public land. 
The Governor : I see no reason why we should not declare these 
four pieces of land forest reserves, and appropriate order of proc- 
lamation should be made. 
The Commissioner of Public Lands may set them aside as forest 
reserves. The setting aside of these lands as forest reserves is 
more protection than if they were set aside as water reserves. 
The hearing then adjourned.
