Notes and translation from original file not included here as part of the Awaiaulu MHM Project 2016] Translation: [Page 1 of 6] Oahu Honolulu, January 27, 1838 I am Kaahumanu II, I hereby clarify to you all, those from foreign lands and those of this island chain, about our tasks this year. Here is the work: I will be widening the roads in our city and demolishing some sections. Five streets along the length of the land, six streets across the breadth of the land; the road in the center of the city shall be 10 fathoms wide, it being the road that runs directly from Kikihale to the church at Waiahao. The adjacent roads are to be six fathoms wide and the intersections six wide. As for the roads along the breadth of the land, two will be six fathoms wide, namely, Fort and Hotel Streets. Adjacent streets will be five fathoms wide with intersections four fathoms wide. That is how our roads will be made. [Page 2 of 6] Trouble with the roads have led some to nearly be killed by horse riders, and the king of the country barely escaped [that fate] in 1834. Trouble with the roads has caused entanglements for those who maintain our city and for the king's government; the conflict between roads and house lots is likely the cause of the filth, stink and crowding that sickens people of the city. Trouble with the roads increases the foul things that the nose smells. Those are likely the causes of dull headaches and many have died. Therefore, obstruct, [Page 3 of 6] lot holders of the city, do not begrudgingly obstruct those who must work on our roads. Kaahumanu 2. Here are the people who are to act in accordance with this order: Mataio Kekuanaoa Paki Kaniua J. Ii.
