tion-Lantana Clause in the
Leases Causes Trouble.

Governor Dole yesterday sent notice
to the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company hat it's offer to build a
wharf on Queen street would not be
accepted by the government.
The Inter-Island Steamship Company
some time ago made a proposition 20
the Territory in which it agreed to
furnish the funds for the construction
of a wharf on Queen street, the gov
eminent to take over the structure at
it's option when the legislature was
willing to vote the required amount or
money to repay the Inter-Island for the
advances made. No appropriation for
such a wharf had been made by the
legislature, but the company expressed
it's willingness to take chances, being
secured by the wharf, which the gov
eminent was not to take over until it
had the funds to repay them.
Governor Dole stated at the meeting
of the Executive Council yesterday
morning that he did not deem it adj
visable for the government to assume
the responsibility for such a contract,
so the proposition of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company was turned
down.
The Hackfeld wharf was built under
| the same sort of a contract which the
Inter-Island Company offered to Gov
ernor Dole. Hackfeld & Co. advanced
about $50, 900, the SUM required for the
dock work, under ar agreement with
! Superintendent Boyd, of the Depart
ment of Public Works. The legislature
is still to appropriate the money which
was spent on that contract, Hackfeld
& Co. advancing the money on that
| condition.
The new Inter-Island wharf would
be of much benefit to Honolulu, as
there is a lack of dock room, and
though Governor Dole refused the Of
fer to advance the money, a recon-
mendation will probably be forthcom-
ing at the next session of the legfsla-
ture for the money required to build
the new dock.
WAIKIKI ROAD MATTER.
A proposition was submitted by Mr..
Cooper from w. H. Cornwell, J. F.
Bowler and A. Ahrens for the settle
ment Of their claim to damages for
land taken by the government in the
widening of the Waikiki Road. The
applicants offer to give the land taken
by the government in exchange for the
lots in Kapiolani park for which Gus
tav Kuhnst now holds the lease.
WILL NOT ESTABLISH PRICE,
DENT.
F. G. Correa petitioned the Execu-
tive Council to have the government
waive the first years rental to lands
at Maupoio, Maui, which are about to
be offered for sale. The government
requires the purchaser to keep the
land clear of lantana during the period
of the lease, and Correa says that the
expense of this is such that the lessor
should not be compelled to pay rent
for at least the first year. 1t was de-
cided by the Executive Council that to
grant the petition would establish a
precedent which would be hard to
change in the future. For this reason
it was decided to make a reduction in
the upset price of the land instead, and
the price was fixed at $3.50 to SAFE in
stead of $500.

All around the prison the other con-

prevailing and Warden Henry pointed
out this fact and then wished TO draw
the attention of critics to the fact that

careful watching in the persons Of the
negroes.
