Executive Order 4535

From Wikisource

Whereas, by Executive Order No. 2900 dated July 2, 1918, certain lands containing an area of three hundred twenty-two (322) acres more or less, subject to private rights, if any there be, and to all public roads and rights of way therein, situated on the Mokapu Peninsula, Kaneohe, District of Koolaupoko, Island of Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, were withdrawn and set aside for military purposes;

Whereas, a re-survey of the Kuwaaohe Military Reservation shows that the description of this reservation as given in said Executive Order is in error both in azimuths and distances;

Whereas, the proper administrative officers of the United States and of the Territory of Hawaii are in agreement that the re-survey is correct;

Now, Therefore, pursuant to the authority vested in me by Section 91 of the Act of Congress approved April 30, 1900 (31 Stat. 141), entitled "An Act to provide a government for the Territory of Hawaii", as amended by Section 7 of the Act of Congress approved May 27, 1910 (36 Stat. 443), it is hereby ordered that the description contained in said Executive Order No. 2900, dated July 2, 1918, be, and the same is hereby amended to read as follows:

Beginning at a cross cut in a rock on the rim of the Ulupau Crater and above a small hole through the rim of the crater, the true azimuth and distance from Government Survey Trigonometric Station "Mokapu" to said point of beginning being 174° 54′ 00″ and 422.6 feet, and running by true azimuths reckoning from the north:
  1. 234° 57′ 30″ 4464.0 feet along the Ili of Ulupau to U. S. B. Monument No. 1, from which the true azimuth and distance to a large arrow cut in rock is 267° 35′ 00″ 12.45 feet; thence
  2. 245° 56′ 00″ 2379.3 feet along same to U. S. B. Monument No. 2, a pipe set in concrete; thence
  3. 285° 47′ 00″ 1200.0 feet along Ilis of Kaluapuhi and Halekou (Territorial land) to U. S. B. Monument No. 3, a flat stone marked by an arrow; thence
  4. 50° 25′ 40″ 5118.3 feet along the Ili of Heleloa to U. S. B. Monument No. 4; thence
  5. 26° 57′ 30″ 574.5 feet along same to U. S. B. Monument No. 5, situated on a rocky point North of harbor; thence
  6. Along the shore at high water mark to U. S. B. Monument No. 6, a pipe driven in rock on the rim of Ulupau Crater, situated near "Kahekili's Leap" on the pali of Kaholo, the direct azimuth and distance being 71° 09′ 00″ 4802.1 feet; thence
  7. On and around the northwest rim of the Ulupau Crater to the point of beginning, U. S. B. Monument No. 7, the direct azimuth and distance being 219° 52′ 00″ 2758.5 feet.
Containing an area of three hundred twenty-two (322) acres, more or less.
