INTER. ESLAND
.WOULDRETAN
RAILWAY SITE
Offers to Rent from Harbor
Board After Expiration
of Present Lease

The question regarding the sub-let-
ting of the marine railway site follow
ing the expiration next month OF the
lease now held by the lnter-Island
Steam Navigation Company. which
has been puzzling the board of har-
Dor commissioners for some weeks
past, was solved this morning, when,
at a meeting of the commission, a let
ter was read from the nter-Island to
the effect that the company Is willing
to rent, instead of lease, the site for
$3.50 a month, subject to notice from
either side Of at least six months.
Although the commission took no
action in the matter, the members of
the beard outwardly expressed relief
and decided to come to definite de-
cision at the next meeting, at which
time James A. Kennedy, president
and manager of the InterIsland, will
be asked to be present. In the mean
time, a committee of board members
may give preliminary attention to the
matter. Inasmuch as buying the site
is concerned, the commission has
dropped the matter for the time being,
pending possible change of opinion
by the governor, who recently an
nounced that he was opposed to the
commission erecting coal wharf on
the marine railway site. AS the Inter-
Islands lease expires next month, and
as the commission does not know how
soon it may complete arrangements
whereby it might purchase the site,s it
was decided, at the meeting last week,
that the site should be rented instead
Of leased. e-..rs.. ..ss-E II.
The board this morning gave con-
siderable time to discussion of the
condition of the pavement on several
wharves in the city, 1t being stated
that, in some instances, the pavement
was in somewhat poor condition
and in need of immediate repairs. J..
E. Sheedy. general superintendent Of
the Inter-fsiand, was present at the
meeting and urged the commission to
take up the matter of paving repairs,
especially on Pier H.
:. 1t was announced that bids for the
construction of the Kihei. Maui, wharf,
will be opened June 2. In presenting
his report EHSlu6Sr IT, d. HdTh re-
quested that the board authorize the
completion Of the new pilot lookout on
Pier z, the construction of which, he
said, will take more money than first
expected. This request was granted,
as the work now is well under way
In connection with the dredging in
Hilo Bay, Chairman J. w. Caldwell
reported that the work is not yet COM
pIeted, and that it win be two or three
weeks more before the job is finished,
the time depending on the condition
of the weather. ...-,x - -.
In speaking to the, members of the
commission regarding the improve
ments and new work which the COM
mission now is considering, Chairman
Caldwell stated it may be matter of
years before all the work is cemplet-
ed. He said that, personally, he was
opposed to the boards constructing a
coal wharf on the present marine rail
way site, saying that he believed the
wharf at the foot Of Fort street a
more desirable location.
