finds that this shipment was occasion.

bundles. claiming, as he says, to fulfil
that part of his contract which awards

committee believes that under the. con.

ON the 2lst day of October. 1901. gives
the sole right to Kalua to supply the

fulfilled that norton of the contract
Under no circumstances does you
committee feel that Mr.. Kalua wal
justified in shining the 500 bundles O

that that quantity was required, an,
also I'm view of the fact that accordin
to. Mr.. Kalua's own statement he ha
