Cruz. This was consigned to Theo.
II. Davies & Co. of Honolulu. We
were unable to locate the shipment
and received the report that it was
a short shipment and would probably
arrive on the next vessel. However,
it seems that the shipment was on
the vessel and was taken to Kahului,
Maui, and unloaded there and then
brought back to Honolulu by the Clau-
dine. We were notified about the
shipment through the custom house
and after entry was made we took
possession of the shipment. The
agents were notified and told of the
law regarding soil and sugar cane,
and we then hauled the sixteen boxes
to the incinerator and remained there
until the last of them was burned. We
understand that this shipment was
sent here for analysis and that the

to be asked to perform the work. l

Thus did Paul Isenberg reply to

People must not get the idea that
Cleanup Day means a day on which
