LIGHTHOUSE NEEDS
70 Be POINTED 0UI

The fact that the chairman of the
lighthouse committee of the National
House of Representatives would be a
member OF the party which will arrive
on the Buford next week, was not gem
orally known to the shipping men until
its publication last night in the Bull
ietin and has created a good deal OF
interest. The fact that Congress
passed bill appropriating large sum
| of money for lighthouse construction
at its last session is well remembered
but the need Of still larger appropria-
tions is not forgotten and it is believed
that the visit OF Congressman Mann at
this time is most opportune.
Captains Orwell and Joynes have
been instructed to look after Mr. Mann
and to see that he had every facility
for becoming informed as to the light
house needs of this Territory, but the
shipping men VIII not stop there Of
all the local men Captain Tullett, of
the lnter-lsland steamer Ke Au Hou,
Is probably better informed on the
lighthouse needs of Hawaii than any
one else. He has made special study
Of this matter and only a few months
ago made a trip to Washington where,
as the Honolulu representative of the
Masters and Pilots Association, he
gave the Congressional committees
considerable information in regard to
the dangers of navigation on the coasts
of the various islands in this group.
There a:o tao different things, how
ever, telling of these matters and see
ing them and it is hoped that Congress
man Mann will be able to take a long
enough cruise to obtain complete in
formation in regard to what is needed
here To this end the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co. is considering
the advisability of offering the services
Of Captain Tullett to Congressman
Mann to act as a guide. Captain Tul-
let knows every nook and Granny on
the islands and could show the Con-
gresham places where the Inter-Island
boats make night landings which would
probably call forth expressions Of sur
prise The matter will probably be
taken IN with Captain Orwell before
any decision is arrived at.

TWO pay DAYS
ENRY MONTH

/ The method Of payment Of the road
iaborers was the principal matter to
be discussed by the Board Of Supervis.
ors at its meeting last night. Tom
Cummins, who is at the head of the
road department during Sam Johnson's
absence, explained that the men were
not stimulated towards saving whether
they were paid by the day or the week.
| When they were paid by the month
their families had the best chance Of
getting a fair share of the money, at
least if the money-sharks could be
lodged, 1t was finally decided to pay
off the men, as is done now, semi
monthly.
Harvey brought up the matter of a
complaint from Portuguese family
living near the Kalihi quarry, whose
house was constantly being bombarded
with rock from the quarry. This waa
referred to Deputy Road Supervisor

SHIPPING FIRMS
WANT TIL MANNING

| Among the prominent shipping firms
on the waterfront today the departure
Of the Revenue Cutter Manning for
/ Behring Sea, as told exclusively in
last nights Bulletin, was principal
subject Of conversation. 1t is practic-
ally certain that pressure will be
brought to bear on the Secretary of the
| Treasury, either to allow the cutter to
! remain here or to send another to take
! her place while she is on her northern
tour of duty.
The matter will be taken up by the
, Merchants Association at its next
meeting and will also be brought be-
! sore the Chamber Of Commerce for ac-
ton. The work which has been done
by the Manning in assisting vessels
which have been in distress since she
| has been here has been of such great
Importance that when called to the at
| tention of the Treasury Department it
canont fail to have effect. If it had not
been for her, equipped az she is with
unusually powerful engines for a yes
| sci of her size, there would have been
great loss of property in these waters.

proposition In the bill was not a gratuity
because the government had given these
roads hundreds OF millions Of dollars in
land grants. Mr.. Aidrich replied that the
proposition would reduce the roads which
had no land grants to the level Of those
which had received such grants.

rates; they are not compelled to do So"
