a success or a failure, for arrange

to be worth in the neighbOrhoOd Of
$15,OOO,OOO. For some weeks past ne
gotiations have been on but only to-
day the company decided to sell.
The city now owns its own water
works, stone quarries and asphalt plant
while the Provincial Government owns
the telephone system, all of which
prove the success of municipal owner
ship, so the city determined, rather
than sgpend $3,5OO,OOO on the construc-
ton of power plant to compete with

HANDLING
The MAIL
BUSINESS MEN WANT FIRST
CLASS MAIL QUICKER-OTHER
NEEDED REFORMS SUGGESTED.

There was a very quiet meeting OF
the trustees of the Chamber Of Com
merce held yesterday at which several
matters of considerable Importance
came up and were quickly disposed or.
The larger part of the time was taken
up in the reading of communications,
most of which were laid aside without
any action. The most important bust
ness to come up was through the read
ing of a letter which had been prepar-
ed by President Morgan, to which he
desired the Chamber to give its sane
ton before it was sent. 1t was ID re-
ference to a quicker delivery of the
first class mail coming to this city
from San Francisco and was addressed
to Postal Inspector Hare.
Attention was called to the fact that
| the mail steamers coming to this port
ordinarily arrive early in the morning
and that they are held outside the har-
Dor for from half an hour to two hours
while the quarantine officials make
their examination. In the meantime
Mr.. Morgan suggests, it would be
very slight expense to the government
to have the first class mail placed OF
board one of the government launches
which lie alongside the steamers, anC
sent ashore. By this means consider
able amount of time would be saved.
Mr.. Morgan called attention to the
fact that at present the first class mai
was not separated from that of the 9th
err classes till it reached the Honolulu
Office, but he suggester that this Nigh
be done either in San Francisco or OF
the tseamers on the way down. I
was stated that the Custom HOUSE
launch would be able to carry the frs
class mail without any trouble. TIL
trustees endorsed the letter in tn
heartiest possible manner.
An important report was submittet
by the committee on harbor, shipping
and transportation, consisting of E.
Spalding, L. T. Peck and j. A. Ken
needy. 1t was in reference to the Plan
for improvements on the Waterfront
submitted by Supt. of Public Work
Marston Campbell. The matter ha
been referred to the various large firm
of the city wohse business lay princi
{ pally on the waterfront and severe
suggestions of changes had been mad
In relation to the proposed rule that a
freight coming in must be remove
from the wharves within AS hours,
was generally agreed that this tim
was a little too short, but still tina
some action of this kind should
taken and possibly an unclaimed wal

house" erected, such as there is in San
Francisco, to which the harbormaster
might order all goods left an unrea-
sonable amount of time transported at
the consignees expense.
Two letters were received from
Prince Cupid, one in relation to the
coastwise shipping amendment which
he had introduced and the other sug-
costing that the Chamber and the Mer-
chants Association invite the mem
bers of the naval committee of the
House, who will visit the Pacific coast
during the summer, to continue their
( trip to Hawaii and inspect Pearl Har-
LOr Action on this last matter was
/ postponed. In relation to coastwise
shipping Cupid stated that there was
practically no chance that the amend
ment would carry without the provi-
sion to which the local commercial
bodies took exception, that it should
be void whenever a new line of three
steamers should be placed on the SER
vice between this city and San Fran
cisco. The general opinion seemed 10
be that, as the section did not mention
the size, speed or schedule on which
these steamers were to run, it would
practically destroy the usefulness of
the amendment.
The matter of duty on sugar bags
from jCalcutta was brought up and it
was shown that sometimes the bags,
coming here by way of HOngkong, ar
rived long before the consular invoices
and negotiable bills of lading, which
came here via London. In a case like
this the consignee was compelled to put
up a bond with the collector of the
port, with some outsider as security
1t was recommended that action bC
taken to prevail on the collector to ac
cept the bond of the principal without
a surety.
, E. l. Spalding was given a chance tc
retract misstatement that he hac
made in the meeting of the previous
/ day, when he had declared the state
t ments made about President Pintihan
/ in "the press" of Honolulu malicious
/ unfair, cowardly and scurrilous. Presi
, dent Morgan asked him if he ment t.
t say the press or the Advertiser.
: Spalding acknowledged using the Ian
? guage attributed to him, but refused t.
withdraw or change his words, saying
/ that he did not care to particularize.
President Morgan was authorized Il
. appoint a delegate to the annual con
. vention of the National Irrigation Con
s gress which will be held In Albuquer
t que, September 20 to October 8. A let
S ter from the National Municipal Lea
