should be provided by the Govern
ment. If they voted this item as a
precedent, there were dozen or
twenty other places situated precisely
similar, and if all were to be provided
for they would soon see formid-
able Appropriation Bill piled up. He
thought the people who got the
benefit of the wharf ought to pay
for it.
Rep. Castle said the old landing
for that District was Kauloloa, which
was about eight miles from any
where. If the landing at Honuapo
was for the benefit of the public,
the public should pay for it. Honu-
apo was port of landing made in
defiance of the elements. A tremen-
dous sea broke there. The landing
was placed there as the most con-
venient place for three plantations,
and it seemed worth while to con-
slider whether the Government should
maintain landing there. If it was
only to relieve few people from
landing charges, then the item
should not be passed.
Minister Dare asked if any mem
Der was authorized to say that
Messrs. Irwin were willing to sell
their rights in that wharf at four
bits in the dollar. If not, the time
of the house was being wasted.
Rep. Kauhane said, in response to
request from the people, he had
gone to see Messrs. Irwin, and they
said they were willing to make the
public on receiving grant of
$4,000. A great deal of the food
and other supplies of the District
were landed there, and the wharf
was public convenience to two
thirds of the people.
Rep. Keau moved to insert SS, 900,
as the firm had probably got back
part of its expenditure in charges
collected from the people.
Rep. Kalua moved the matter be
referred to special committee, as
the Inter-Island Steamship Co. had
an interest in it, and should be n-
terviewed by the committee.
Rep. Brown to insert
| Government aid to building
wharf at IIonu ,po, provided
the owners thereof make no
charge for wharfage on
freight or passengers, an un-
dertaking in writing to that
effect to be given the Gov
4 crnmcnt. .................. SD.UUU
| Rep kauhane said there was a
mistaken impression about charges,
which were only made when the
goods had to be taken care of by the
storehouse keeper.
Noble Parker asked if the amend
ment said no charge for storage,
and was informed that only wharfage
was mentioned.
Noble Martin said he bad just
seen Mr.. Irwin, who had informed
him that $4,000 was the lowest
figure he would entertain, and if it
was given the wharf would be at
once thrown open to the public,
charges only to be made for the use
of the storehouse.
The amendment of Rep. Brown
carried.
Rep. Nahinu moved to insert
Wharf at Hookena, District of
KOna Observation-Disclosures. S3,0C(
He had been informed by the builder
of the Honuapo wharf that he
would build one at Hookena foI
$4,000. This was one of the places
where there were no plantations, ant
being dangerous landing the Gov
ernment should provide for it.
The item passed.
Rep. Kalua moved to insert
Enlarging and Improving Wharf
at Lahaiha....".'.... S4,oo
This was Government property an,
therefore appropriately called for
grant, as the wharf was in danger
Gus condition. An appropriation G
$4,000 was made last session, bu
nothing had been done. If repair
were not made all the work don
: there would be lost.
:, Passed.

9 petition for aid to wharf at M;

' Rep. Kaai said there was a pet
. tion for aid to landing at Hamo,

= mates or data accompanied thes
petitions for the guidance of ii

- Rep. Kaai said it was wha
~ already in existence, built by priva

II Repairs of Landing at Hamoa. So

it was in too generous a mood I'll
