WHARF CONDITIONS.

/ EDITOR STAR:-In your paper of
Jan. 4th l notice report of the meet
| ing of the Chamber of Commerce Of
! this city, and the resolutions passed
regulating the use of the wharves. The
resolution authorizing the Collector of
! Customs to remove any vessel If not
discharging within a stated time, is a
| singular one, it implies that the vessels
are at fault, and its aim is to punish
the vessel for failing to do that which
the vessel is only too glad to be per-
mitted to do, but from the force of cir
cumstances finds it impossible to do.
Speaking for myself nothing would
please me better than to come in one
day and go out the next with a full
load both ways, If such a thing were
possible.
Any one familiar with the city front
knows that two California vessels dis
charging on opposite sides of these mar
row wharves and using their steam
donkey can in one days run, so block
up the wharf that no dray or truck, nor
even a wheelbarroW can get on to the
wharf. If the fault lay with the vessels,
that could be easily remedied. The SUI
gar vessels often put out 800 tons OF
sugar in days work of ten hours in
San Francisco, using their own steam
Making allowance for the difference in
men and the climate, they ought to be
able to put out 400 tons of assorted
IltItHdIulSe mere. DuI we soon llllu our
selves blocked up if we put out no more
than 200 tons per day.
Foreign vessels sometimes undertake
ing to discharge their cargoes mostly Of
hardware, with their own crews, with
out the aid of stevedores, do not always
do what we would call a satisfactory
days work yet they would seldom fall
below the minimum fixed as a days
work for the purpose of calculating the
lay days allowed for each particular
vessel which would probably be 100
tons per day.
In most of the principal ports of the
world wharfage is free to the vessel up
to certain time limits, which are fixed
toll charged on the goods which pass
over the wharf Some places charge
wharfage to the vessel and toll ON the
merchandise besides. In San Francisco
vessels loading in the Honolulu trade
pay about double wharfage and there
is also a toll charged on merchandise.
Yet even that Is not as much as the
ordinary wharfage in this port
There Is no party or person to blame
for the present crowded condition OF
the harbor the harbor facilities have
simply failed to keep pace with the
great wave of business prosperity
which has swept over the Islands as
one Of the results following annexa-
ton.
These new regulations will be imrrac-
ticable. 1t would be interesting to
know how the Collector of Customs will
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-01-06

be able to remove the freight from the
wharves, when all the dray companies
presumably doing their best to accom-
plsh the same work, are unable to do
so. And the warehouses in which the.
collector proposes to store these left
over goods. Where are they2"
If this chronic state of overcrowdine.
is to continue, ships will either look for
protection, or avoid the place alto
gether. Coal and lumber merchants will
nave to establish distributing points at
some other harbors on the Islands. OF.
plantation agents will make up orders.
for coal and lumber to be delivered tf-
rect to the plantations. More wharves
are urgently needed
All the shore line Of this harbor.
should be filled with wharves. By
building wharves on that part of the
harbor known as Naval Row, for the
accommodation of coal and lumber ves-
sells, reserving one coal and one lumber
berth on tho town side, all the other
wharVes on the town side might be re-
served for steamers vessels with gen.
eral merchandise, and the, local coast
ing steamers
The result would be that the coal
vessels and coal yards being to ieewarCf
of the town, the coal dust blows away
from the town with the ordinary
trade wind people having business on
the city front would be able to draw
an occasional breath of pure air which
now they never do from morning till
night.

LEAKEl FOR over 4 YEAR

The bark Colusa, which was lost off
the coast of Alaska on her trip from
Kahului, was a leaking vessel for over
eighteen months before the disaster.
One of the crew that arrived here on
her when she came from Newcastle in
the fall of 1897 is still in Honolulu and
he tells a story that indicates that the
Colusa would never have been allowed
to depart from the Hawaiian Islands
had there been a board of inspectors in
existence to look after such affairs.
The Colusa leaked all the way from
Newcastle to Honolulu in the fall or
1897. Pumps were at work during every
watch and there was several feet of
water in her hold nearly all the time
She unloaded coal and left for San
Francisco, still using the pumps. and
made a trip back here again in no bet
ter condition. Then she went on the reef
at Kahului and was probably made
weaker still. She was an old vessel. The
first storm she struck brought the re-
suit that might have been expected
Her bottom fell out and she was a total
loss, the crew having difficulty in es-
Gaping.
American laws will prevent vessels
in the Colusas condition from leaving
here, if they are enforced, as a recent
order of the Treasury Department pro-
vides that all sailing vessels of over
200 tons shall be inspected before they
the allowed to clear. This is done at
British ports, but the fact that the Co
lusa was able to leave Newcastle with
a leak indicates that the officials are
sometimes lax. Captain Ewart haG
enough confidence in his ability to sail
the vessel safely to start with her at a
time when storms might be expected, (
and to take his wife with him.

SUGAR AND BEER.

Beer drinking and sugar eating keep
curious pace with each other as is
pointed out by Brooks Adams I'm a
recent number of the Forum. In the
United STATES the consumption Of SUI
gar has grown from 30 pounds per capt.
Ia in 1869 to 81 pounds per capita in
1898. In England, during the same peril
Cd, the amt unit used rose from AZ
pounds to s4.77 pounds per capita.
The extra sugar appears to encourage
beer drinking, at least in England,
where the increased consumption of
that article has risen one per cent per
year till In 1897 it amounted to 3lh
gallons per capita. The amount Of SUI
gar used in the beer grows yet faster.
In 1888 the public required Az pounds
in the barrel of beer; in 1897 1t demand
ed between 8 and 9 pounds.-Up-to-
