In city streets. The time is probabl,
not far distant when this will become
a serious political issue.
Transportation has been In the fore
ground to a considerable extent, tn,
large local stockholders of the Mat
son Navigation Company generally
uniting in approving the plan suggest
cd by the B ulletin that the Matson
people should Immediately order sec
end steamer to handle the increasing
traffic OF the port. That something
must be done for both passengers and
freight is obvious from the lack OF nc.
commodations given the passengers on
the through line and the present ina
hility OF the freight lines to keep abso
lutte schedules. II is stated by local
merchants that although the Matson
liner Enterprise was sent to this port
to carry passengers and relieve the
congestion, the steamer left three hun.
dred tons Of freight on the Matson
docks that must await the next Matson
boat. II Is also claimed that the Amer
lean Hawaiian boat scheduled from the
north left there later than was origin
ally scheduled. Meanwhile the Ocean
ic line is hesitating about putting The
Sierra on In place of the Alameda be
cause 1t is doubtful about the freight
1t can get, as the Oceanic people dc
not control SO much Of local freight
as their competitors. What the situa
ton needs is better balancing and
an increase Of the strictly local pas
senger and freight>heets.
One Of the curiosities OF the situa
tion is the manner In which some of
the clear.headed merchants of the city
cling to the suspension OF the coast
wise shipping laws although they have
absolutely no guarantee or reasonable
assurance that the through steamers o:
the foreign lines will treat Honolulu
passengers during the rush season
with any more consideration than IL
now granted by the Pacific Mail lire
The through boats attend to their
through passengers first and the
through business Is opening up large
this season just as the business to Ho.
nolulu is promising to be better than
ever before.
