The above are some of the more inn
portant of the many matters discussed

sioners at their second weekly meeting,
held at the department of public works
yesterday afternoon. Marston Campbell
presided and the other commissioners

Carthy and Emil A. Berndt, secretary.
The only absentee was f, B. McStocker,
who is on Kauai.
The chairman stated that he had had
an interview with the Governor with
reference to using the contingent fund
for expenses and the Governor had
signified his willingness to allow the
board sufficient money to meet neces-
sary expenses, but did not feel he could
allow anything for the expenses of a
clerk. AS money for travelling expenses
would be provided he thought the sooner
the members of the board made their
trip to every landing in the island the
better.
edo you mean every plantation land
ingf', asked Mr.. Wakefield.
7'No, every public landing" was the
reply, 1--WE have nothing to do with
plantation landings"
Tired of Private Wharves.
After some discussion on this point
it was decided that some private land
ings, especially on Kauai, will be visit
ed because large amount of public
business is done through them.
Mr.. Wakefield remarked that there
have been times when the owners OF
private landings have been arbitrary
and made all kinds of charges. Il
would be well for us to visit those
places so that we viii know" he re

mains to be seen, but we can put it VI
to the legislature"

phasized that the government Will have
