Joseph Lightfoot, Deputy attorney General stated that since the last hearing he had visited the land at Waikele Ewa Oahu and was still of the opinion that he could not withdraw the claim of the Territory of Hawaii to the Kapakahi Stream.
So he held to said claim as filed January 20th 1921 by Harry Irwin, Attorney General for the Territory of Hawaii.
The Commissioner then stated that in consequence of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Pawnan Lahaina Maui lease, In which the Supreme Court held that a Commissioner of Boundaries could not hear a petition where any portion thereof was claimed by a person or persons other than the applicant.
