will be taken up again Al the meeting
next Monday morning. but only in ex-
ecutiye session. There may be a hear
ue before the committee but IL will be
for Mr.. Philip Peck OF Hilo.- who wants
20 urge the taking or steps towards thf
construction OF breakwater at that
niae. Al hrst IL was thought the COM
,pit,.e on commerce should consider
this matter. but 81 has been decided To
piace N before the committee on Pa
elfic Islands. Mr.. Peek has made

turned again TO the New Willard 10
