Direct Service With Island Of
Guam S.
At the time of departure of the u.
S. army transport Sherman from
Manila for Honolulu, arrangements
were completed whereby the u, S.,
naval steamer Supply would be placed
capital and Guam.
The governor of Guam has reported
an urgent need of steamer service
from Guam to Manila and return each
quarter, and, although the chember of
commerce of San Francisco and Ma
Mia have taken the matter up, moth
ing has been done towards estab-
fishing such service as yet. As it
is now impossible for the inhabitants
of Guam to visit Manila and return
within less than sixty days at great
cost, the governor has recommended
that the Supply make quarterly
trip to Manila and return on July T.,
October z, January and, April z,
reaching Manila about the 18th of
the months named, and leaving Ma
Mia for Guam on the 18th.
The department has received legal
opinion that, inasmuch as the Island
of Guam was placed by executive
order of December %, 1908, under the
control of the Secretary of the Navy,
and as such steamer service would be
of material benefit to the island,
these trips may be made without vio-
lation of law 1t is, therefore, this
departments intention to authorize
these trips, beginning July z, 1913.
