mission from Secretary Shaw TO rec
ommend a site for Hilo Federal
building. AS planned now there will
be no public meetings, because the cit
izens Of this city have already agreed
upon site for the building.
The people of Hilo are a unit for the
selection of the large tract between
Bridge and Pitman streets and Waia
ruenue street and the river This. it
is believed, will not only allow suf-
ficient room for a building sufficient for
the accommodation of all the Federal
Offices, but will permit also of laying
out beautiful park Mr. Eustis has
spent his time interviewing the citi-
zens, and, because OF the unanimity of
their opinion, does not believe a pub
lie meeting is necessary.
Mr. Eustis expects to return to HO-
nolulu on the Mauna Loa Tuesday
PECK is HOPEFUL.
Philip Peck returned on the Enter
prise from San Francisco, where he
has been seeking to interest capital in
the Kohala-Hilo Railroad.
Mr.. Peck says: The people with
whom / talked in San Francisco re-
garding the railway look with favor
upon the scheme, but before taking
action or decided steps in subscribing
to either the stock or bonds of the
company they wish to know what the
people here will do toward it. If, as
We think, it will be a good thing for
this side Of Hawaii to have a railway,
the capitalists think we should do
something to encourage It. ;,
1T is the custom on the mainland
for communities to encourge railway
lines by offers of subsidies. and these
are usually raised by individuals, either
in public meetings or upon personal
solicitation. The question of subsidy
was not specially dwelt upon. What
will the people of Hilo do?' covers
everything. AS soon as possible / will
confer with the citizens and that
question will be answered"
Mr.. Peck did not appear to be dis
couraged over the results of his con-
ferences. During the past year plan
tation agents and managers have
frequently expressed themselves favor
ably 20 the project and there is reason
able assurance that at least a portion
of the capital invested will be raised
here.-Herald.
