On August 23, 1917, the Commissioner of Public Lands 
wrote to Max Schlemmer: 
"My attention having been called to the fact that you 
have not complied with the terms of your lease Fo. 661 of 
Johnson Island, I beg to notify you that unless the terms of 
said lease are complied with before September 1, 1918, said lease 
will be terminated.” 
On August 9, 1918, the lease was assigned to C. K. Ai of 
Honolulu, with the consent of the Commissioner of Public Lands,” 
provided, however, that such consent shall in no wise be construed 
as varying in any respect the liabilities and obligations to the 
Territory, under said General Lease Fo. 661, of the above named 
C. K. Ai.” The consideration of assignment was #375.00.J 
Note: 
The Commissioner of Public Lands would appreciate 
receiving information as to any plantings of coconuts on Johnston 
Island.
