MAST -ra PLAN—=Lo, IrAwAll future will follow suit. To further this plan, it would be well for the City to proceed with a program of acquisition of the property surrounding this parr square. Since the property must ultimately be utilized for civic purposes, it is an obvious economy to obtain it before further rise of land values occur. Financial returns could be realized by the City through the use of such land for other purposes until needed as sites for civic buildings, The use of the existing public square for anything other than its present park pur- poses, however, should never be allowed. Buildings of a civic or monumental type require a spacious setting, and the grouping of such buildings around an open landscaped area is the most economical and practical scheme. Hilo is indeed fortunate in having such a pos- sibility afforded. The site for the new library is sufficiently close to this civic center area to be considered as part of it. With the vacating of the present library building, changes in the location of various municipal depart- ments will occur; but these should not hinder in the ultimate execution of a long -range plan for a unified and attractive Civic Center. The priority in the con- struction of certain future buildings and the location of each within the civic center area are problems of -,2 Y Sin,I Lgee SOnlu4 . ffT.6obon.

Forethought should be given to such problems, but it is far more important at this time to determine the policy and general design of the Civic Center as an entirety, which, in fact, is the intent of this report. Attention is directed to Plate No. 11 of this report which shows the proposals involved in the future de- veIopment of Hilo's airport. As designed by the Terri- torial Department of Public Works, and as approved by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, these plans when carried out will convert the existing landing field into an airport of outstanding merit. The benefits which Hilo will derive from this improvement will undoubtedly influence the future growth and welfare of the City. In the planning of the Hilo of the future, adequate flood - control measures must of necessity be seriously considered in. order to protect areas into which ex- pansion is expected and to safeguard property and investments already developed. The drainage area involving flood - control problems covers approximately 112 square miles and includes the Puueo area as well as that of the Wailoa Stream and its tributaries. The Flood- Control Program as proposeda would consist a Data from William Chun, Project Engineer. r CcfsV PER LINEAR BOUVIDARV SCREED' T_ 9 X96 6' t6' au• 3 AO' as @TII•E�tlOR 5'I1EtE�T d � � 10.46 h � M �p. 1PUERPOR STREET $ 9.26 COURTESY OF= ® American SOCiety of Civil Engineers EDevelopment of Mariemont, Ohio" PAPER No. 1644 by F.
