As part cif the ultimate Territorial Master Plan, this ,Tovni Plan of the City of Hilo, Hawaii is presented with the hope that, in addition to its local usefulness to the City of Hilo, it may be of future value as a guide to town planning in the Term tort'. Following planning practice in the States, it is believed that the Legislature will desire to pass enabling acts empowering the respective counties to adopt zoning ordinfL=es and to create local plarm�ng agencies as these are needed. We wish to record our appreciation of the very cordial cooperation of the Chairman and Members of ;the Board of Supervisors, the members of the Hilo City Planning Commission and other officials of the County of Hawaii and representatives of private interests, in preparing this Plan', largely made possible througd their whole- hearted'cooperation with the staff of this Board. It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors of the County of Hawaii now adopt such elements of this Master Plan, leaving flexible the Plan, itself, as will best serve the purposes of a larger -scale preoise Official Map of the City of Hilo, and that the project be based on considerations and afaalysis of the Director attached hereto.
