HILO, Hawaii. Nov l7.-At the
meeting of the Hilo board of trade on
Tuesday last the committee which
had been appointed to look into mat
tiers pertaining TO wharf facilities for
Hilo, reported that the present wharf
at Kuhio bay is not satisfactory. II
was also declared that a petition
should be sent to the legislature ask
ing that an appropriation be made
so that adequate provision for wharyes
be made.
G. Fl. Wears said that he thought the
committee should be given further
power TO go into the matter more full
" and see to it that the new wharf
would not be constructed in the inter
ests OF one particular concern. He
said that reports limited that the new
proposed wharf is to be constructed in
the interests Of one concern only.
He declared that all the shipping IN
terests, the American Hawaiian, the
Matson Steamship Company and the
Inter-Island Steamship Company
should be called In and consulted as
to their ideas of the best place for u
wharf
This kicking about wharf after
it is finished does no good. The kick
ing should be done before the wharf
is constructed" said Wears.
C. Castendyk said that the mat
ter of adequate wharves was a most
important one The best thing to do.
in his opinion, would be to get the
plans of the proposed wharf from Su-
perintendent Forbes of the public
works department and then call a
public meeting to discuss the whole
matteR The present wharf is
fizzle: there is no doubt about that, !"
wound up the well-known business
man.
1t was decided to follow Casten-
dykes idea and later on there will
be ample discussion regarding the
new wharf for Hilo

Ansonia, Feb. 17.-The strike situa- 1on at the brass mill of the American 6TaSS company here remained un- changed up to 10 o'clock this morn ing, though the officials were hope ful that some settlem ent would be made during the day. Several of the men reported for duty this morning but as the company had made no offers and the men were unwilling to go to work artl allow their differ ences to be arbitrated, practically none of the men who went out yes- 'Gerday afternoon, returned to work. The officials could give no estimate of the number out but it is said to approximate 800. Rumor also had it that laborers at the Coe Brass Branch of the company had joined the brass mill workers in an effort to secure an increase in wages and refused to work this morning. The officials of this branch however, would neither confirm nor deny this story.
 All the men who have gone out are foreigners and unskilled laborers. They demand an increase of 25 per cent The strikers are unorganizetl but 1t is said that I w. Workers have been here for the past several days.

"The early development of tower

 Hotchkiss, a native of Burlington,
 Conn, who manufactured tower
 clocks in, Brooklyn, N. Y. His de-
 signs were very crude in mechanical detail and appearance This business was taken over by the Seth Thomas Clock company in 1872, and has con- tinued through all these years up to the present time, where considerable thought and study has been given to improvement in design and conver- fence in operation of tower clocks, to which MT. Norton gave over a great deal of his early life. developing the mechanical details of these mechan- ismS.
 When MT. Norton left the clock company to take his place in the worlds work as mechanical en- glneer, serving first the Brown S, Sharp Mfg. Go. and later the Norton Grinding Co.,, the writer was appoint ed to take up the work where MT. Norton left it, and has been connect ed with the Seth Thomas Clock Co., from that time until today. The labor which has been his part to do has in- cluded designing the special attach ments required with the clocks, as il- lustrated by the automatic silencing device on this clock, and in adapting the clocks to the special requirements of the buildings where they have been installed.
 And now as this clock is dedicated as a tribute to the memory of MT. Norton's dear wife and mother it be- comes the pleasure and duty of every citizen of Plainville. Conn.,, to care for and enjoy it.'
