Question Of Cash.
Chairman Campbell then stated that
the board was confronted by problem.
There was a fund Of $4,000 for repairs
for two years. To enlarge the wharf
would cost $4,000. Repairs would cost
$4,000. He moved that $4,000 be APP
propriated for repairs and maintenance
on the Hackfeld wharf. This was not
passed as it was decided best to wait
until Wednesday, when the attorney
generals opinion would be ready.
Then a new problem confronted the
commissioners. One section of the
Hackfeld wharf has to be replanked
and this will cost about $1,000 and then
there is sheathing to cost about $l400
more. The ohia blocks will cost large
sum, but it will take seven months for
the latter to season, by which time
much of the planking will be worn out.
There is no help for it, however, as
the flooring must now be replaced, for
otherwise the wharf would be danger
Gus for trucking and teaming. The
| commissioners have gone over the
| wharf personally and know its defects
The wharf was built many years ago,
| before Mr.. Campbell entered the office,
and was constructed before the era of
| of big ships and frequent steamer ar
rivals with from two to four thousand
tons of merchandise in each

The proposed agreement between the
Territory, by the board of haIbor com.
missioners and the Hawaii railway com
pany arranging for the use Of certain
rights of way over government and
railroad property, was submitted, and
after a few amendments, particularly
referring to a certain footway to be
enlarged to width of twenty feet, 1t
was approved, and a fresh draft will
be signed by the commissioners
The agreement is for the duration OF
the company's charter and gives the
right to the Territory to build and
maintain roadway thirty feet wide

and so long as the company operates
, as a common carrier.
The public may use the wharf on the
north side but only at such times and
, for such purposes as may reasonably
be necessary because of lack of neces
sary room on the other side. The com
, pany shall maintain and guard the foot
{ way, twenty feet wide, which can be
used for trucking. The Territory, anC
the company with the approval of the
