Kau Homes Teads and Hawaiian Plantation Land Deal
In Kau, Hawaii, land near Hutchinson Plantation may pass to settlers under the Settlement Association plan as lease renewals approach. Plantation owners resist, while W. G. Irwin supports a compromise to yield about 800 acres of cane land to homesteaders, potentially reshaping Hawaii sugar production. The land extends 1800 acres with 800 under cane, with government lease expiry in October.
