earnings available to provide for such
vital charges as interest on bonds,
and sinking fund for the redemption
! of bonds.
Source of New Revenue
1t is clear from the foregoing brlet
statements that the collection OF adj
ditional revenue from the Territory 5
wharveS is an absolute necessity, and
your committee recommends that the
wharveS be placed on Self-SustalninS
basis, and that tonnage tax be i'm
posed on all incoming and outgoing
cargoeS, sufficient in amount to cover
with the present revenues the follow
ing charges:
/. Maintenance and repair of
wharves.
.. Interest on funds invested in
Territorial wharves.
3. To provide sinking fund for re-
demption Of bonds, proceeds Of which
have been invested in Territorial
wharves
There is one other possible source
of revenue, and that is further
charge against shipping, YOUR COM
mittee, however, considers that the
present charges against shipping, are
high, and strongly urge that no at
tempt be made to increase them.
AS the suggestion of your commit
tee, that a tonnage tax be imposed
is a radical departure from the pr,vl-
Gus policy of the Territory, in the
matter of securing an adequate in
come from the wharves of the Terri
tory to maintain and finance them
your committee recommends that the
whole available data OF the subject of
wharf income, wharf expenses, and
wharf construction, be submitted to
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
and Merchants Association, the HilO
Board Of Trade, the Maui Chamber
of Commerce, the Kohala Civic
League, the Kona Improvement Club.
and the other business organizationse
throughout the Territory, with re-
quest that they present to the Board
of Harbor Commissioners suggestions
and their views of the best method Of
meeting the present financial obliga-
lions of the Territory Occasioned by
the wharf system of the Territory,
and for properly covering and pro-
tecting the large expenditures of pub
lie funds that will be necessary to
use in the immediate future to pro-
vide for the development of the COM
merce of the Territory.
Accompanying this report please
find statement of cost of various
wharves owned by the Territory;
these figurese were compiled as far
as possible from the books of the
public works department, but in some
cases estimates Of cost could only
be made
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES WAKEFIELD.
