CABINET MEETING TODAY
PLANS FOR HILO WHARF BEFORE
THE MINISTER'S.
Orders Given to Start the Work at
Once-New Wharf to be at Waiakea
River-Lighthouse to be Erected.

The attention of the President and
his Cabinet was occupied this morn
ing in the Hilo wharf proposition.
The reports of Minister of the Interior
King and Superintendent of Public
Works Rowell were submitted and
carefully considered. Before an ad-
iournment was taken the Cabinet au-
thorized Minister King to proceed
with the wharf and other improve
ments at Hilo Immediately.
The wharf will be located at the
point where the Waiakea river flows
into the sea. 1t will be constructed
large enough to dock boats and scows
only. After this improvement has
been made the main wharf will be
built.
A lighthouse was ordered to be
erected at Makahanaloa point, and
another one at Kohala point.
The powder and magazine house
will be in the course of construction
within a very short time.
Minister King said this morning
that men will be set at work on the
new wharf as quickly as the appli-
ances can be procured.
