Harbor Master Fuller, +. $. Dodge of
the Bishop Estate and President Ken
nedy of the Inter-Island Steam Navi-
cation Company, visited Queen street
yesterday between the Brewer Building
and the Inter-Island wharves, to look
over the Esplanade to devise ways and
means for converting the same into a
marine park, if the powers that be are
in harmony with the suggestion.
If the marine park idea is considered
favorably by the County Supervisors,
there will be little more work done on
the Esplanade by the County. For sew
eral weeks the Esplanade has been in
the hands of the road department ana
has been receiving coating of maca
dam. AS the Supervisors will not meet
until Monday evening, work may large
ly be withheld on this particular por-
ton.
The gentlemen who looked over the
situation yesterday came to the conclu-
sion that the Esplanade could be beau
tilted by putting in grass plots from
Brewers building to the Inter-Island
wharves. 1t is proposed to run curb
ing from Brewer s to the Inter-Island,
or Maunakea street, giving Queen street
proper its proper width all the way
along. All wharves in between would
have proper approaches from Queen
street and all the grass plots would re-
ceive cocoanut plants, it being the idea
to make coeoanut tree park.
There would be plenty of room along
Queen street and the space between the
park on the mauka side and the en-
trance to the wharves on the makai side
for drays and other vehicles, even on
the busiest days
There is wharf near the Inter-Is-
land docks which is practically part
of the Esplanade. It is covered with
planklng, and as such is not the safest
part of the thoroughfare, owing to the
tremendous traffic passing over 1t. If
the park idea prevails, it is proposed to
put up posts at each end to prevent
teams passing over it.
Supervisor Lucas says he can procure
all the cocoanut plants necessary to
start the waterfront grove.
