Report
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE;

How the S1O,OOO,oOO Appro-

To Be Spent

Emphasizing the fact that to date

Pearl Harbor, and showing in concise
form the magnitude of the naval work
in Hawaii, a pithy report of Pearl
Harbor construction to date, prepared
by Ernest R. Gayler, civil engineer,

of all naval construction here, and no
man is better qualified to comment
on the progress of the Pacific's great
naval base. In connection with the
announcement Of army plans for
guarding Pearl Harbor from land at
tack, it is of general interest to note
how much is at stake at Pearl Har-
Dor, both in. dollars and defenses.
Civil Engineer Gayler prepared the
following report for the Chamber OF

GETTING READY
TOASkU.S.TO
BUY FISHERIES
ConkIing Has 64 Claims on
File Aggregating Sum
of $4,000
LAST LEGISLATURE
PROVIDED FOR ACTION
Many Owners Have Not Filed
Returns, and Valuation May
Reach 100000

Uncle Sam is to be asked to pro-
vide anywhere from $150,000 to $780,
900 to buy the private fishery rights
of Hawaii. A concurrent resolution
of the last session of the Legislature
directs the Delegate to Congress to
present list of all the sea fishery
rights that have been adjudicated, and
to ask the national Legislature for an
appropriation sufficient to pay to the
owners the value thereof. In the res
olution the provision of the Organic
Act is cited which says that the attor-
ney general of the Territory may"
take condemnation proceedings to 40
quire such fisheries for the free use
of the public The resolution goes on
to state that lack of funds and the
demands Of more important services
have prevented the Territory from
making an appropriation for the pur-
chase of the fisheries-hence the re-
solve to see if your Uncle Samuel
will do the handsome in the matter.
Conkling Gets Returns. -.
Under the resolution Treasurer
Conkling is getting returns from the
''konohikis," as the owners of private
sea fisheries are called, showing the
valuation they put upon their fisheries
respectively. Although the returns
are not all in yet, enough have heen
received to form the basis OF a guess
as to how they are going to run as
whole. 1t was required by the Or.
ganic Act that the owners should file
petitions to have their possession OF
sea fisheries adjndicated within two
years from the passage Of the act.
Under this requirement, about sixty
four sea fisheries have been adjudi-
Gated in the Circuit Courts of the
goodly number of owners who have
failed to have their fisheries thus ad-
Indicated
Average Of $4,000.
Most of the owners have filed their
returns of valuation. A moderate av.
erage of these places value of $4,000
on the fishing right, and Treasurer
Conkling thinks that perhaps the
whole number will average $4,000. At
this rate the amount required will be
$192,000 for the sixty-four fisheries
But the average may be
higher and, besides, there remains the
legal point as to whether those who
have slept on their rights, by neg
lecting to file petitions, may not still
put in and enforce claims on the con-
stitutional ground that they can not
be deprived of their property without
due process of law"-to wit, by reg
llar condemnation proceedings. So
there is no saying as to how high the |
claims may not run. From 100000 |
