project the money has been squander
ed, said Commissioner Wakefield, max
ing no effort to lessen the full meaning
of his words.
His sentiment was also voiced by
Commissioner Mccarthy, who could not
recall where the board had ever au-
thorized the expenditure of this money.
Miss Carter, the stenographer, had the
records, showing that the fund now con.
tains only $3.50, and that $1100 of the
original appropriation had been paid
out 10 Howell during the administration
Of n former superintendent of public
works.
Commissioner Mccarthy maintained
that the only legitimate bill against
the fund could be that of $40 for a
title from the heirs of the II. K. Bald.
win estate, who donated the site, and
reasonable charge for surveying.
Action on the bid was put over FOR
one week. In the meantime Chairman
Bishop was authorized to make an In.

to have been spent
Sliding Wharf Scale.
James Mclean, vice president of the
lnter-lsland Steam Navigation Com
pany, called attention to condition
which may result in the adoption OF a
sliding scale for wharfage, instead OF
the present arbitrary rates. He pointed
out that steamers operated by his com
pany now touching Honolulu are OTTER
compelled to take on or discharge .
portion of their cargo either at the
government wharf, or the railroad
wharves, necessitating moving be
tween two wharv.s more than once DIR

He suggested that this was an uneaua

JOY riding in Honolulu harbor will
cease, possible reckless handling of the
large passenger and freight vessels will
be prohibited, and navigation in local
waters will be made as near free of
danger as possible, if the Territorial
board of harbor commissioners adopt
the neutrality-suspicious. rules submit
ted by Harbormaster Foster at the meet
ing of that body, held in the senate
chamber OF the Capitol building yester-
day afternoon, are carried out.
The members were unanimous in ex-
pressing their approval of the sugges-
tions made by Captain Foster, but de-
cided not to take definite action toward
adopting the new regulations until their
legality has been passed upon by the
Territorial and federal authorities.
They will probably be first submitted
to the attorney general for approval.
Later they will probably be adopted in
their present form or with changes
This, too, may be decided upon after
shipping men have been given a chance
to appear before the commissioners and
make such suggestions as they think
necessary. Foster has discussed the
proposed new rules for some time.
One of the rules prescribes a maxi
mum speed of not more than five miles
per hour for all vessels, including
those of more than 1000 tons, as well
/ as vessels under 1900 tons displace
ment; a speed of not more than five
miles an hour for all sampans, rowing
boats. power launches, fishing craft and
other smaller vessels.
Another section dealing with sailing
vessels requires that all sailing vessels
inside the Honolulu lighthouse must bC
in tow of tug.
Liability of Owners.
Harbormaster Foster would also mole
owners of steam craft to account fol
the starting of engines while at dock
The rule suggested for this provides
that all vessels must first signal before
trying their engines and that while thii
is in progress a lookout must be placed
on duty to guard against accident anC
10 be ready to signal to have the en-
gines stopped in the event of threat
ened danger to passing craft.
Under no condition shall the engines
be allowed to run faster than under {
slow bell. Captain Foster maintains
that this practice of trying engines
while vessels are at dock has already
resulted in considerable damage to pass
ing craft. He would hold o1yners re
sponsible for any damage done in the
future.

strangers wish to see. It is therefore
important that we do our best to have
Ine grounds as beautiful as possible. I
will therefore, give few remarks on
what I think would be improvements.
"a number of trees should be re-
moved and others added. The mango
is not desirable tree for public park.
The vine palm and some of the other
palms have approached the limit of
their growth and are beginning to look
unsightly. Some of them ought TO be
replaced by rarer and more ornamental
varieties. The bringing of the whole
grounds into such shape that they
would have more tropical appearance
would, there is now doubt, appeal to
the majority of the tourists and traveI-
ing public. A well kept lawn with a
few beds of hardy towering plants
would add greatly to the beauty of the
grounds.
cit may be necessary to dig over,
fertihze and replant with grass parts
of the grounds before a decent lawn
can be had. Shrubs or vines to screen
| off unsightly buildings would all add TO
the beauty of the grounds. The label.
ing of the trees and plants would also

neat label giving the common and
scientific names and the country from
which the tree or plant originates
would am sure be appreciated by the
many visitors that are likely to call
here.
For Later Work.
"The matter OF the arranging of the
driveways and paths and the laying
out of the grounds around the board OF
health and free dispensary buildings
can be more advantageously arranged
after the principal driveways TO the
other buildings are decided on. Should
the government ever be fortunate
enough to secure the site where the
Lewis Stables now stands, also the
strip of land running from King tc
Queen streets along the north side OF
Punchbowl street at present occupied
by unsightly shacks, Kawaihao Church
could then be included in this impor
tant group of buildings and would ado
great deal to the beauty as well al
historic interest of the whole group.
