and that section dredged and converted

shipping.
| He urged the Importance of a dry
dock being constructed here, and in
stanced it's value in the past three
months, when two big passenger steam
ers and one transport were brought
into the harbor In disabled condition
all in need of drydock. He trusted
, that some action would be taken by
the chamber to urge the necessity for
such a convenience.
D The Waikiki end of the harbor was
in great need of improvements gener-
| ally.
| Mr.. Holloway did not believe in wild
ening the channel further owing to a
possible increase of danger from storms
arising to the south, a wide channel
opening up the harbor to increased
danger in this respect.
Mr.. Spalding said he had interviewed
another official who did not care to
have his name mentioned. This gentle
man was agreed as to the necessity
for the removal Of the lighthouse spit.
For secondary consideration he thought
the improvement to the Waikiki end
of the harbor was necessary.
The fact that Captain Slattery has
recommended the improvements which
our committee have brought before us
certainly carries great deal of
weight said Mr.. Spalding. 1T would
certainly be unfortunate to have any
division of opinion in this matter, but
at the same time the fact is worthy OF
consideration that all the authorities
we have consulted here have generally
felt that the Waikiki end of the harbor,
rather than the westerly, or Eva end,
should have secondary consideration
after the lighthouse spit.
Mr. Morgan, in answer to questions
by Mr.. Spalding, corroborated the pre-
vious speakers statements. one of the
take a look at the harbor, and in com
pany with Mr., Spalding he had done so.
They We're very anxious" he said,
ito have that sand that has been
pumped up onto a new island, sur
rounded by "A retaining wall. The rocks
are loose and a southerly wind might
dislodge and send some of them into
the harbor, At the end of the naval
pag no -
seen drifting right across the channel.
THE pilots regarded the marine rail-
way as menace to shipping.
Their preference for improvements
was the Waikiki end of the harbor
They claim that the old channel
wharf is only good for vessels like the
China and Doric. They would have the
marine railway and Mrs. Reists boat
house removed and new wharves and
slips built"
Mr.. Paxton said that there was about
$40, 900 remaining over from the last APP
preparation for dredging the harbor and
channel, and this could no doubt be
used as fund for the maintenance of
improvements in and about the harbor.
Mr.. Morgan asked the Committee on
Harbors and Transportation to make a
report concerning a drydock am the
removal of the marine railway and to
make general report on the condition
of the Waikiki end of the harbor.
Mr. Peck thought it well to take up
the drydock question at once. IL the
Territory could appropriate funds for
building and maintaining wharves and
slips he felt that 1t could also undertake
me construction and maintenance. OF
