that body accepted and filed the joint
report OF their own committee and
one from the Merchants Association
on a complaint Of the Board Of Trade
OF Hilo in connection with the Hilo
breakwater construction.
The following letter accompanied
the report from the committee In
charge, Elmer Paxton and James A. |
Kennedy:
"0n July q communication from
the Hilo Board OF Trade was referred |
to the undersigned committee, togeth-
er with proposed letter which the
said Hilo Board OF Trade requested
that Honolulu Chamber OF Commerce
to sign and forward to Brigadier-G Gen
eral william II, Bixby, chief OF engi-
neers, Washington, d. C.
THE letter referred TO protests
against the proposition made by Maj
or Winslow, Corps Of Engineers. u. s.
A., to use the appropriation Of $780,
900 made by the last Congress for the
purpose of building a substructure by
means of scows in extending Hilo
breakwater. instead OF making com
pleted structure as far as said appro-
priation will go, II being Major Wins
lows plan to complete said substitute
ture from the appropriation to be Sc
cured from the next congress.
"As the Merchants Association Of
Honolulu also had the matter under
consideration, II was subsequently de-
cided to make q Joint report. Your
committee met with a like committee
from the Merchants Association, and
have given the matter very careful at
tention.
you will note that the Joint com.
mittee, after carefully considering all
of the various phases of this question.
has recommended against signing the
letter proposed by the Hilo Board OF
Trade and supports the plans adopted
by Major Winslow as being In the
best interests OF the Territory In gen.
eral.
You will also note that In case the
report of the Joint committee is adopt
ed. a copy of said report is to be for
and Major Winslow."
II was explained In the meeting
that since the Hilo Board OF Trade
made the request to have the letter
to Bixby signed. the Hiloites had re.
considered their attitude The com.
plant, 1t seems, had arisen through
misunderstanding OF the plans, q
general agreement being reached
when the plans we're more fully ex.
planned. Under these conditions, the
local bodies are acting In accordance
with, rather than against. the Hilc
Board OF Trade and the other asso
Citations OF the southern town.
