INADEQUATE WHARF FACILITIES
A report was presented in connection
with the complaint lodged by T. H
Davie>-.& Co. of insufficient wharf ac-
combinations for the American-Ha-
waiian vessels, the lack of care exer-
cised by that company in transship-
ping its freight at the Isthmus and
the mixing up OF freight after it had
been unloaded here. The COMMITTEES
which had this affair in hand reported
that it found much ground for the
although on consultation
with the American-Hawaiian represen-
tative here much of the blame was
placed on consignees not removing the
goods arriving for them in proper time
thus over-crowding the warehouse at
the railroad wharf. Mr.. Morse stated.
however, that he would take up the
matter Of additional warehouse room
with the o. R. & l. Co.
The report was adopted. and the re-
port from the Superintendent OF Pub
lie Works as to the plans OF his de-
partment for the extension OF the Ho-
nolulu wharfage system, presented in
connection with the report. was re-
ferred back to the committee for con-
sideration. This renort is given in full
elsewhere in this paper.
WILL STILL ACETATE.
E. I. spalding remarked that the
seemed to be as far from
getting a revenue cutter stationed here
now as when they first took the mat

without any prospects. He urged that
the agitation begun should be persist
ed in until a cutter was stationed here.
