McGREGOR'S LANDING AND
ROAD.

At last the construction of Nc
Gregor's Landing appears to be an
assured fact. Cotton Bros. who
have the contract have sent up
here Mr.. J. N. Gere, who is to have
complete charge of the construction
until its completion.
The landing will consist of a
wharf 200 feet in length, running
out to twelve feet of water and
eight or nine feet above low-water
mark, with warehouse building
containing also an office and wait
ing room fitted up with comfor-
able seats, OF the shore end of the
landing
Mr.. Hugh Howell our County
Engineer has just completed a re
survey of the road to connect this
landing " 18th the main road. This
will be about 1900. feet in length,
on a grade in no place over go
and nowhere less than twenty feet
in width. There will also be a
carriage stand adjoining the land
ing 70 feet by 100 feet at about
the level of the wharf.
This road will be approximately
HOO feet longer than the more
direct route on the Wailuku side
of the landing but will effect a
saving to the county of approx
mately $4,000.
The total distance to McGregor's
Landing from Wailuku P. o. will
be S.8 miles little less than 2
miles further than Maalaea, but
the trip from Wailuku to the
steamer will be shortened fifteen
or twenty minutes for the reason
that the steamer can lie within 200
feet of the end of the landing, and
boats will not be subject to the
terrific winds so frequent at Maa-
laea.
