planade. We need not be afraid to
ask for two buildings.
X. w. Breckons-I understand that
Commissioner Eustis is directed to in
ouire into the needs Of the postofices
at Honolulu and Hilo only He, sunless
he has some special direction from the
Secretary of the Treasury has nothing
to do with other public building sites.
When you make up your minds, how
ever, to location have an abstract OF.
title made and give Il to me so I can
make a report on II and send both to-
gether. This will save a great deal OF
time.
W. o. Smith-The people OF this city
do not realize what a great change is
going to be worked by the cable and
Panama canal. These will mean
great need for more wharf space for
the great ships to come here. The
present wharves will have to be en-
larged and slips one thousand feet long
will have to be built into town across
the Esplanade. I don't believe In put
ting any permanent building down
there It will be in the way
G. r. Carter-1'm not aware of
single government official or attorney
In favor of my scheme but | will say
that the property Is there. A deed can
be made out for II in twenty-four
hours. There is no personal interest in
having the government take this land
and 1t is available now for building.
c. NJ. Cooke-It seems to me that
we are losing a great deal of time In
useless argument. Let us get an ex-
preston of the sense of the meeting
as to a locality.
Sam Parker side with Mr.. Carter.
When the commissioners were here
showed them around and told them
what we needed. The Delegate to
Congress Is the men to look after this
thing for us. had some experience
in Washington trying to rush thing
through Congress and found had to
go to the Delegate for help before /
could do anything. think you'll find
Mr. Carters plan the best. The title
is clear and the land can be turned
right over.
Senator McCandless-I think we
will have no trouble In getting the
buildings. We want the postofflce
where II is now. think that II the
site for the location of the postofffce
were put to vote two.thirds OF the
people here would want II where II Is.
George Markham favor the pres
ent location OF the postoffice.
Lorrin Andrews-From Mr.. Brock
ons' statement I understand the OBJ
Ject of Mr.. Eustics visit is to get a
location for new postoffice only.
j. A. Kennedy don't think Con-
gress will bull don such a small. lot
as the postoffice now stands on.
Dr. Clarke--Most of the speakers
are old residents here. don't think
that because you have always gone
to the postoffice where 1t now is that
you should continue to go there? The
town Is growing and has outgrown the
present ,postoffice and the location of
It. When was boy I. too. used to
