SHINGLES MEASURE.
For the third time there was read
Robert Shingles joint resolution to
have the governor appoint a commits !
sion to investigate private wharves and
landings with a view to the Territory
acquiring them. This was passed.
Shingle stated that the Republican
party had gone on record as believing
| it fit that private wharves should be
investigated While his resolution de-
ferred action for couple of years still
! it was all that could be done-to ap-
| point a commission to report to the
next Legislature. This did not pre-
vent immediate attention to Honokaa
landing, in which Furtado is interested,
and Eleele matters in this connection
could also be considered. In fact the
| gentleman had bills he would intro
duce to cover these matters.
