lulu.
Campbell Is member Of the terri
torial wharf commission, and he stated
that, that organization expected to
tackle the question Of the wharf at
Reed 3 Bay in the near future. This
was very complicated matter owing
to the fact that II involved a number
of minor questions, all Of which had to
be solved before the main problem could
be tackled.
The commission was now waiting for
the preparation of an agreement be-
tween the Hilo Railroad Company and
the Territory, as was required by the
law which made the appropriation for
the wharf. This agreement Campbell
expected would reach Honolulu in the
same steamer as himself. Besides this,
there had to be agreements made with
the steamship companies so as to in
sure that they would have their vessels
use the new wharf.
Railroad Right of Way.
A very important and quiet compli
Gated question in connection with the
wharf was that of laying out a street
on which the railroads could lay theiI
tracks to the wharf.
"You notice that l said railroads, in
the plural, - said Campbell while Or
this subject. 'That means that no one
company win have the exclusive right
of approach. As a matter of fact, there
is the proposed street railway, which
would probably want to have its tracks
extend down to the wharf. The com
mission will lay out a very wide street
which will be called railroad avenue
in the center of which will run the
railroad tracks. On both sides of thi,
will be streets, and it will serve as
basis for the further subdivision will
streets of the tract of land which rum
along the waterfront, as well as tn,
land back thereof. ] expect that in 6
few weeks all this will have proceeded
so far that we will be able to proceed
with the preparations for the actua
construction of the wharf"
Armory VIII Be Moved.
The opponents of the removal of tn,
armory, who believed that the recen
postpOnement of the sale of the sit,
wherein the building stands, virtual,
meant the abandonment by the ad
ministration of the whole scheme, hav,
another guess coming, according t.
Campbell.
1t was animated to Campbell tina
sanguine Hiloites believed that tn
armory would not be moved.
"The armory will be moved,' sal,
Campbell. Not cent will be spen
on repairing it until it has been moved
The sale has been postponed, it is true
but it has not been abandoned. TIL
postponement was due mainly to tn
fact that there was no appropriation
available to pay for the moving o
the armory.
Board of Health Building.
GIVE are preparing to build a ney
building for the board of health office
in Hilo, continued Campbell. "W
have received from Chief Sanitary OF
ficer Bowman a number of suggestion
as to what is needed, and we are work
ing with these as a basis for our plans
1t is unfortunately a rather small ap
preparation which we have for the pun
pose, only ten thousand dollars, and
owing to the location of the buildin
in the immediate proximity of the fed
eral building, we are trying to make j
present as creditable an appearance a
we can get for the small amount o
money, and at the same time includ
all the things needed by the healt
officials.
"The building will be of concret
and will be one story in height !
will be so planned that it can be adde

comes necessary to have more room.
