Talked II Over With Thurston."
After Mr.. Campbell was asked to
take the matter up with Thurston,
nothing more was heard except that
he told us once he had talked II over
with Thurston.
"The special meeting last Monday n
was the first time the form Of agree
ment came out. No action was taken
ut that time because of Mr.. McStock-
er's absence from the meeting. Yes
terday morning was the first time I \
had an opportunity to go into the
agreement. and must say that am
simply astonished that such an agree
ment should be contemplated.
81 am certainly opposed to allowing
this agreement to be adopted by the
commission. I feel convinced that the
commission, for one thing. has no legal
right to accept the assignment Of the
private contract between the railroad
and the American Hawaiian Steamship
Company, involving as It does tn" Civ
ing to the steamship company Of pref
erence rights to the use of the wharf

money, and this agreement, in my opn-
ion, would turn the wharf over to the ,
