PROPOSE EXCHANGE OF WHARVES

The Board of Harbor Commissioners
is still working on a demurrage system
TO apply TO the local wharves. At its
meeting yesterday afternoon letters
were read from the various shipping
companies interested in the matter,
and all of the letters agreed in con-
sidering the three day limit for freight
Oh the wharves as too short. The
Oceanic Steamship Company suggests
a scale of storage as follows: for
1900 tons, five days; for $500 tons,
seven days; for $500 tons, twelve
days
Levers e Cooke pointed out that
three days are obviously insufficient
for handling lumber cargo
The Commissioners are now consiC
ering fixing the time for removal of
cargo on a tonnage basis, as suggested
H. the Oceanic Steamship Company,
but do not think that anything like
twelve days should be considered.
The Board also proposes making a
trade of wharves between the Inter-
Island and the Matson companies,
which if satisfactory to both compan-
les it is believed will solve a trouble
some problem of furnishing more room
for the growing business of the Matson

c. mpany the use of the long Mauna
Loa wharf at the eva end of the har-
Dor, directly opposite the old Hack
field wharf now used by the company,
and to give the Inter-Island company
the Brewer wharf in exchange. This
wharf has been used by the Matson
company, but was originally intended
for local boats.
The secretary of the Board was in
structed to correspond with the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany with reference to securing a
landing at Kihei, Maui to replace the
present landing at McGregors.
