(6) Under these conditions, if the
dredging of Hilo harbor is permitted
to await the passage of the next River
and Harbor Bill, and take its course in
conjunction with such larger measure,
the indications are that the wharf at
Hilo will be completed, and ready for
use at least six months, and probably
longer, before the entrance to Kuhio
Bay is cleared so that the larger steam
ers visiting Hilo can utilize the same.
"a Under the foregoing circum-

your honorable board use its influence
with the federal authorities to secure
as early action as practicable under the
appropriation to remove the shoal at
the entrance to Kuhio Bay, without
waiting for the outcome of the next
River and Harbor Bill, with a view to
securing the earliest practicable use of
said Kuhio Bay wharf when completed.
