Steamer President c. L. Wight
Service of wilders Steamship
Trouble Company was present
and replied in detail to complaints
made by Superintendent C. b. Reynolds
of the Molokai Settlement regarding
the transportation service done by that
company. He spoke especially Of the
difficulties of carrying and landing the
wild cattle supplied by the contractor,
and gave instances where the steamer
was delayed on account Of slowness in
receiving the cattle ashore. A loss Of
one per cent of animals was inevitable.
The discussion at times resolved into
a warm colloquy between the steamship
man and the health official. Mr.. Wight
said II Mr.. Reynolds would only make a
timely statement of grievances as they
occurred friction would be avoided. To
which the superintendent replied that
some time ago, when there was rush
of plantation work, the steamship COM
pany almost totally neglected the Set
Element.
Mr.. Reynolds complained that the
company forced them to take 80 head
at time, which was more than could
be well taken care of. Mr.. Wight said
the change from 45 at once was made
under the unusual pressure of planta-
ton business.
Mr.. Wight interjected, when the pres
ident had suggested a decision on the
main question, that the company had
shown particular consideration to Mr.
Reynolds and especially the Catholic
Sisters when they desired to go direct
| to the Settlement. They would not dis
patch small steamers like the Lehu'
and Mokolii but the Maui, Helene OF
Hawaii.
