I'VE beg to advise:
SECOND: That the controllers OF I,
other wharves In Honolulu be request
ed to impose the same regulations as
are finally adopted by the board of
harbor commissioners for the govern
ment wharves. with the additional pro-
yiso that time limits are contingent
upon sufficient cars being furnished by
the railway company when freight is
to be removed by rail-so far rs this
Is beyond the control of the consigncc.
On Foreign carsoss.
"The reasons inducing the committee
to make the above recommendations
are as follows:
mo. I. Three thousand five hundred
tons was shown to be the largest for
eign cargo delivered. The collector OF
, customs uses discretion In issuing gen
eral delivery orders; he never issues
same until the expiration Of twenty
four hours after the discharge has been
completed. In the case of 35OOton
oriental carsocs, which arc unloaded
in one day. this gives minimum time
OF two days plus the seventy two hours
which are recommended by the COM
mittce, or N total OF Ave days, which
evidence shows Is ample.
For II 20OO-ton cargo OF fertilizer,
which IL discharged at the rate Of 1000
tons per day. the time would thus also
be a minimum of five days.
Domestic Cargo.
mo. ., The evidence shows that the
largest cargoes dealt with are 5000
tons. and these are only Mt the Amcri-
can Hawaiian wharf. where there Is no
difficulty In getting drays In. and 1000
tons per day are readily disposed Of
Such n cargo would have twelve daye
after the day of arrival. which Is evil
IDENTIFY ample. At the other wharves
the largest amount discharged IL shown
to be $500 tons--this at the Hackfeld
land Oceanic wharves. Such n cargo
would have seven days In addition to
, the day of arrival. The oceanic wharf
even with the present chaotic traffio
regulations, IL doing 700 tons 1ay
land evidence was given that the same
is the case at the Hackfeld wharf.
