SHIPPING IMPROVEMENT.
! The greatest sort of an improvement
is being contemplated for the seaport
| of Kahuluf by the H. c. & S. Co. A
wharf four hundred feet long, fronting
the water is to be constructed and
much dredging is to be done adjacent
to it, and in a channel leading in, so
that a depth of 80 feet of water will
be available for large steamers and
other vessels.
The Claudine, the Nevadan, a coaI
vessel like the George E. Bellings or a
| lumber schooner like the Olga can
! then make fast to the wharf and dis
charge cargo as is the custom in
metropolitan Honolulu. A mammoth
shed will completely cover this great
pier All this has been definitely de-
cided upon and plans and specifications
made, though no requests for bids for
contracts have yet been published.
Such an Improvement as the fore
going is of direct benefit to all Maui
Presidents, for the saving of lighterage
fees and the cost in handling import
ed goods will lessen in a corresponding
degree the price paid by consumers for
such goods.
