DELEGATE ASKS
FOR MORE HASTE
Believes That Delay OF MANU-
kona and Hanapepe Surveys
Will Prevent Action.

At the meeting of the trustees of the
chamber of commerce yesterday let
ter from Delegate Kalanianaole was
read, in which the writer stated that
the chambers cablegram had been re-
ceived in regard TO surveys for MANU-
kona and Hanapepe narbors. He said
he had hoped to receive the survey of
| Hanapepe harbor before the date on
which his letter was written, January
2S, and added that "there is grave
reason to doubt whether the delay in
their arrival will not make it impossi-
BILE to have that project considered in
this year s bill.
Although there are over one hun
dred of the surveys ordered, - added the
| Delegate, "that have not been received
here, the rivers and harbors committee
have announced their intention to close
their bill February l. This will be done
although three members of the commit
tee have projects in their own districts
in which the surveys will arrive too late
to be considered. Inasmuch as it re-
quires a minimum of two weeks to have
a report passed on by the engineers
board before it can go to congress at
all, it seems impossible to expect that
we shall be able to have the Hanapepe
project considered by the committee.
L. L. Paxton stated that Mr.. French
who is connected with the geodetic sur.
vey, and is now here, has stated that
as soon as he receives report from R
r. Elgin, manager of the Mahukona
railway, with reference to Mahukona
| hor ~, 20. ha hac Co. IL,
surveys, he will go there and make a
chart of the harbor. AS to Hanapepe
no information was presented to the
| trustees.
Antituberculosis Crusade.
| President Morgan stated that the
antituberculosis committee, which is ar
ranging to advance it's crusade against
the White Plague, had notified him that
the work required more funds, and that
although they had funds coming in from
certain sources, there was not sufficient
for the employment of nurses. Mr.
Morgan stated that the committee want
ed 800 a month from the chamber Of
commerce, this to apply on the salary
of trained nurse. Mr.. Morgan stated
that as a member of the board of health
he saw the necessity for the crusade
and he believed the funds of the cham
Der were in such condition that the re
quired aid could be given. The matter
was referred to a committee.
Annual Brings Results.
Secretary Wood stated that as a re
suit, of sending ont of the annual tt
chambers of commerce on the mainland
the local chamber was being brought
into closer touch with those organiza
tons. AS result he received cable
gram yesterday from the Detroit cham

at.
Mr. Hogs believed that the~commit
tee could raise the necessary money
and that the income would not onl,
pay the interest, but pay off the pin
cipal rapidly.

deposits at Atlantic City during tn
lllnt were L "

money handled in Atlantic City durin,

Childs to Take Hold.
Lloyd Childs, who has worked up tn
Atlantic proposition, has secr ed pr
vate capital for the enterprise, if tn
promotion committee can not go int
it. The receipts from the sales of pine
apples at the Seattle fair were iron
1927 to 5000 per day, and this wit
an average daily attendance of $500
people. At Atlantic City the attend
: ance would be in the neighborhood o
100000. In addition sales would G
on in the evening. This was not al
lowed at the fair.

Angeles booth people fell over eac
other to buy orangeade, produced fror
California oranges, ard they made
good profit.

lands. Me. Mclean was enthusiast
over the proposition.
James Dole said he favored the pre-
motion committee taking hold of tn
matter. If it did not he and other
were ready to take hold. Mr.. Lysel

product which might be considered fo
, the sales bureau would be Kona cotfe,
He believed the proposition SCUM
one. Mr.. McStocker said first of a
