The history of today MARCH 23

	A gang of counterfeiters who had been making 25-cent pieces was caught in Waialae, The Pacific Commercial Advertiser reported on March 23, 1913.

1955: A series of five dirt and rock barriers pushed up in a 32-hour period by a fleet of six bulldozers redirects the path of a lava flow that threatened some 80 acres of coffee land on the south Puna coast.

1968: Both houses of the Legislature vote to retain at least 20 acres of Magic Island for public park use under state control. That brought to an end a long dispute over development of the manmade parcel of reclaimed land off Ala Moana Park. The state had previously planned to auction the parcel to private interests as a commercial park.
