Prendergast spoke against allowing
the individual claims that headed the
report These persons had taken Ger
tain contracts from the government
and now that they had suffered, il was
no fault of the Territory. These Peo-
pie were trying to let themselves down
easily AT the expense of the Terri
toria treasury. The Nahiku landing
was built by the company with the
expectation of making Il large amount
of money out of the scheme they had
on foot. Since that time, the planta-
tion they had under development had
dropped with n dull thud. A similar
petition from Hilo, asking that the
Territory extend them financial aid for
roadway, had been rejected. The
planters should be served in like
manner.
Hoogs took up the cudgel in behalf
of the plantation people. He stated
that there were documents now IN the
possession of the clerk of the House
that would prove the correctness or
the statements he had made, when he
said that the landing had been tiniSheG
at the instigaton of the government,
which did not have money with
which to complete the work. HooGs
said that he was one OF the directors
of the company, and knew what in
was talking about.
Makekau opposed the paying of the
claims. The testimony was all on one
side, and there was undoubtedly more
than one side to the question.
Emmeluth suggested that the matter
be left to the committee toe decide.
That was what they had been appoint
ed for The members from Maui knew
better than anyone else what the val
idity of these claims might be.
The Territorial Band. suggested the
musical member from Kohala, had put
in similar bill some few days ago.
and il had been allowed without a
question being raised. This was show
ing partiality with = vengeance.
Hoogs asked, in his own behalf. that
the letter from Engineer Howells be
read. This was done. Mr. Howeils

Sir: / desire to submit the following
annexed statement on behalf of the Ma
hiku Sugar Co., Ltd. for money advanc-
ed to tho Government for completing the
building OF the landing at Nahiku and

Representative Fourth District.
The annexed account of s9s5S1 was ex-
pended on the Government landing at
Nahiku, Koolau, Maui, by the Nahiku
Sugar Co. whilst I was manager OF the
plantation.
This work was carried on under the
advice and direction OF Mr.. Hugh How
ELL Government road engineer. and Mr.
w. Il. Rowell, then Superintendent of
Public Works. After the amount appro-
priated by the Legislature had been eK-
hausted 1t was thought best to continue
this work, as the landing was very much
needed by the homesteaders and the plan
tatlon. The appropriation was barely
sufficient to make the cut, build the road
to the landing and purchase the derrick.
the road being only about seven to eight
feet wide. 1t was necessary TO build a
railroad from the landing to the main
Government road Rs well as erect the
derrick. all OF which work was done by
the Nahiku Sugar Co. after consulting
with the above named gentlemen and
taking I'm view the fact that the landing
was very much needed and that Il
would be a waste OF Government money
to allow the work to lay In Its unfinished
condition and the derrick tImbers 10 lay
there ana rot II was decided TO carry
on The work ana trust 10 the good viii
uf tho future Legislature 20 reimburse
the plantation for the needed outlay. The
extra cut made In the elm Tor a site for
tho hosting engine was done at the sole
expense OF the NahilAu sugar Co., as well
as the purchasing of the hosting engine,
