There was a scow alongside this dock,
but the luna IN charge Of the men
would not let them load any bannuas
on IL, although the wharf was becoming
moro congosted all the time.
At eleven clock there had been no
orders issued for any towing Of scows
TO sea, but this was remedied later in
the day and during the afternoon the
Intrepid took out one scow, but it was
not fully unloaded.
There was but one reason given for
this when the tug returned, II being
that the men on board who we're to
unload tho stuff became sick in the
choppy sea and were unable to work.
The generally accepted reason, which
was not given, was the appearance of
the American schooner Robert Searles
off port which the Intrepid made haste
to tow inside as soon as the scow had
been laid alongside the dock.
Thousands Of Bananas.
Nearly all the stuff piled along the
sea-wall WnilSiki of Fort street is ba-
nanas, and it is going to be a fine large
job to untangle the immense amount
of green stuff and load it on scows for
dumping. Fort street wharf could not
be used for a dumping ground as it
was reserved for the Belle of Ireland
to discharge coal at, and had it been
the congestion would have been reliev-
ed considerably.
At Oceanic wharf there was lot of
stuff brought down which could have
been left where il was found much
better, and been disposed of by burn
ing squad, branches of trees and other
dry brush coming to this wharf in CON
siderable quantities. Besides being un-
fit to be towed TO sea it took up much
space on the drays and on the wharf
which could have been used to better
advantage.
4 There is remaining beside the roads
of the city scores of loads of dry and
infammable stuff which can be better
burned than carried away, and the city
/ fathers will take this method of dis
posing of it,
Viewing the Work.
Chairman Walter Dillingham;, of the
citizens committee, was one of the first
members taking look around the city
! and down to the docks, arriving there
shortly after ten o'clock, and during
the day Frank Thompson and other
members of the committee were around
to see how everything was progressing.
When the days work was completed
all expressed themselves as satisfied
/ with the amount Of rubbish which had
been removed.
Beginning this morning the county
wagons of the road department will
again take up the work which they
started Friday and Saturday, and all
day today and tomorrow there will be
/ thirty.five teams on the job.
1t is the intention of the city fathers
to clean up Punahou and Makiki first
and they think it can be done in the
next two days with all the teams work
ing. What remains to be done after
that viii be taken up at the regular
meeting of the board tomorrow even.

garbage department of the city can
handle the other cuttings and cleanings
which the squads bring to the various
streets.
In trip around the city during the
day yesterday, members of the board of
supervisors visited all the districts in
which work was going on, and in all
of them it appeared that the residences
were much improved by the many ba,
nahas which had been cut from in front
of the homes. Mote: Eben Low Is ba,

City Engineer Gere, Supervisors Muir

were all looking into the cleanup yes
terday, and when work was finished
shortly after four O'Clock last evening
they were of the opinion that the city
had mighty big job on hand to fnisl

Two Great Helps.
Two great helps in the work yester
4 day were the traction engine OF thl
Honolulu Construction and Drayinf
Company, which made four trips haul
ing twenty tons to trip, and th.
large train of Honolulu Rapid Transit
and Land Company which made twt
trips, but hauled several times thiI
. amount ef
The train was much larger than thai
used during the week and In con
sequence did much more work. The
friction engine picked up the debril
