CANNOT HANDLE TOO MUCH.
The Fishmarket. site committee pre-
sented the following report:
Your committee to whom was re-
ferred the "Fishmarket site have de-
layed handing in their report owing
to the difficulty in arriving at sans
factory and unanimous decision
AS to the disposal Of the property 70
private ownership there is a general
sentiment in favor of its retention oy
the Territory. but, as to the best use
TO make of it there is much difference
of opinion.
Your committee are agreed that the
plan for an archway as suggested by
Mr.. Robinson and also the kiohan@
Art league is impracticable on account
OF the large expense involved. A cheap
and tawdry structure Is out OF ths
question and we doubt if the Mckinley
memorial fund could be augmented by
private or public assistance sutheient-
ly to erect an imposing and suostan-
tial arch.
This brings us to the consideration
of the grounds and building. one Oh
our committee is firmly in favor Of the
Robinson plan for parking the GROUNDS.
eliminating the arch. The others OF
your committee cannot concur prlh-
cipally for the reason that there is not
any assurance that the site In question:
will be the natural entrance or gate
}
fact the expenditure of the Federal
appropriations at the Eva end Of the
harbor will take much shipping in
that direction. We also consider the
present time inopportune for the carry
ing out of the Robinson plan on ac-
count of the limited public funds avail
able even for work urgently needeu on
orr roads and the upkeep of our pres
ent park system. For the same reason
in view of the probable demand In the
near future for all available waterfront
nronerty for commercial purposes, we
doubt if the Territory would be Jusu-
fed in devoting to purely ornamental
use such a valuable asset as the FISH
market site.
II is true that we are advocating
the improvement movement and repre-
sent it's organization, yet to be exec
tive we must be reasonable in our de-
mands, and we certainly have sum
Gent to occupy US for the present IA
carrying out our adopted line OF eiiorI
to improve local conditions.
; Pending the demand for the Fish
market site for commercial use or the
POSSIBLE moulding of public opinion in
} favor of the Robinson plan, we recon-
} mend that the Kilohana Art league
suggestion as to the fitting up OF the
t building for public assemblies and the
care of the surrounding grounds be
carried out. ~
