CFrom saturday, Advertiser

There was a good ATTENDANCE for tho
Chamber Of Commerce meeting held yes
terday TO hear the report OF the commit
tee appointed to dran a series Of harbor
improvement recommendations for the
consideration OF tho Government The
document was produced az once and was
a paper IN regular business style. Ia It,
entirety ~ cannot De published uII il has
reached Capt King, Minister OF the Ia
turiOr. 1hoEe are the points.
That Nuuanu wharf be extended 2cp feet
into the harbor.
That Sor.nson wharf hc extended lVl
feet into the harbor.
That kinau wharf be extended - feet,
That dredging for new shp near Pa
~ific Mail dock be continued.
That a second drcdgor by installed by
the Government at once.
That the Government control All
wharNcs.
That the Government bring to a deter.
mination 50 soon as practicable all legal
actions against private parties iu which
water front land is involved.
That the Government build wharNcs at
IAmekiln point.
There was not a great deal Of discussion
ON the report. All recognized that II had
been prepared most carefully and that it,
provisions were calculated TO relieve the
pressure upon the harbor In the best way
that can be devised at present The re-
port was adopted unanimously II will
be sent TO he Government today. There
Was some expectation that attention
would be- called TO the private wharfage
of Allen A. Robinson, but IL was deemed
wise To omit any suggestion on individual
holdings if such suggestion would be In
the line Of causing litigation. The plan
that has been adopted is very like one
tha,t was recommended by Capt King,
The minister Of the Interior, some months
ago. For that reason IL Is believed all the
recommends tiOns viii meet with the APP
prOyal of the Cabinet. There has been
talk for some time that a second drcdger
was required. The one In use at present
is often called from harbOr enlargement
work to deepen anchorage that hlls from
thu Nuuanu stream ana from sand drift
Ing. II II realized that there must he
another dTedgcr here In time anyhow to
make the Pearl HuTbOr channel avail
able.
said one Of the shipping men after the
meeting yesterday: III the Government
VIII do at once what Is recommended. we
can get along fairly well during the up.
preaching sugar season. To lCugthrn the
whaTyos referred TO should be the work
Of but a few weeks. This viii greatly re-
licVe the pressure. As 1t ~ now the har-
bor H. simply jammcd like "A railroad
yard In q wheat country during the busy
season. Unless operations are inaugu-
rated without delay and pushed to a nm
isfing point, there Will b." great delay
md enormous loss TO all the plantations
aud the whole shipping interest. We have
Iurposcly avoided recommendations tina
would In any way make matters complex
The course pointed out II "a simple anC
easy one and We have a firm belief that
IL will be followed. The Government has
the men and the money and II cannot u,
insensihlc to the needs OF tn" shiHQing
and sugar interests, which form Kthe
backbone Uf the country
