New Plans for Wharf,
Commissioner Mccarthy Immediately
after the passage of the first resolution,
then introduced the following resolu-
Eion, which was also passed unan-
1mously:

Mr.. Mccarthy in explaining the first
.eTs were aware of the fact that the
railroad Company had been granted
license to build a wharf, but meantime,
the legislature met and made an APP
preparation for wharf at Hilo, and the
government gave the commission power
TO cancel any fcrmer license. AS the
appropriation had been made the har-
Dor commissioners propose to erect the
wharf and the only way to achieve that
project was to cancel any existing
: license or agreement.
The railroad company has been given
six months notice OF the government 3
intention to take over any wharf il
has built under that license, and this
provided, also. for the payment of the
preliminary work in making borings,
surveys, plans, etc, for the design of
wharf already submitted to the super
intendent of public works under that
license.

dTst resolution for he believed the pas
eage of II would 60 long ways towards
clearing up the difieulties which have
