OPINION AWAITED FROM
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
f
The Government Refused to Sell Land
to Promoters Because Hawaii
an Law Forbids the
Industry.
I'uptuln John M. Sass, with Frank
llrnwu and othris, has for stoictlm"
1'ii't been promoting tho election "of 'a
distillery on this Island. Its raw ma
tcrial'ls designed to be molasses from
the sugar mills, and the product rum.
A corollary o( the enterprise Is the
leaping of hogs on a laige si a lo, tu
he fattened on the residuum of the
tills. This contains a percentage of
hiiihnrlnc matter and fed with nu ad
mixture of barley. Is said to produce
I he Ilnest of pork.
'I lie promoters have secured nil no
ies.ii) data from tho planters regard-
Ing the supply of raw material nnd
liKve calculations of profits down to -dot.

Arrangements were concluded with
the Dotvsett Hstute fov a tract of gov
irnment land near Walanne on the
-ashore containing twenty-fit e acres,
being part of a leasehold having eleven
)ears of Its term yet to run. The slta
is an excellcut one for many reasons,
among these being proximity to tun
railway and facility of drainage Into
lliu ocean. According to the Federal
law, a distillery must stand upon land
n.vncd In fee slmplo by Its proprietary.
Therefore, Captain Sass and associates
dcalrcd to purchase, five acres out of
the twenty-five, subject to tho Dow
lett lease.
They applied to Land Commissioner
K. S. Uoyd for the purchase of the
(.Milling site of flvo acres. Mr. uoyd
