And nearly all the vows we made were

this fault or that. We'd cease to pat
ronize the bars because such course
would bring us wealth; we'd cut out
three for five cigars because they
undermined our health. Behind our

wrought. Now comes the gladstone

HARBOR BOARD
AND IL. AGREE
ON WHARF Plan

At conference held this morning
at the offices of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company between
directors of the corporation and the
territorial harbor board, represented
by Chairman w. R. Hobby and Com
missione James Wakefield, a definite
agreement was reached toward the
use of the proposed new kuhio wharf
at Hilo.
Following a general discussion of
the question the directors expressed
their Willingness to sign the proposed
agreement which will bind them to
use the new wharf at Hilo for period
of five years.
This agreement is called for by the
territorial appropriation created by
the last legislature which provides
$4,000 for the construction of the
wharf provided the ''Inter-Island or
some other steamship companies
shall agree to use the wharf after
completed.
While $4,000 may not build the
entire wharf, Chairman Hobby be-
lieVes that it will build that part to be
used by the Inter-Island vessels. For
NAL notice that the company has
agreed to sign the proposal will be
given to the harbor board at meet
ing next Tuesday.
The safety of the present Kuhio
wharf was discussed some this morn
ing and officials of the company
stated that recently in rough weather
some of their mooring lines we're
chafed considerably by the surging.
1t is expected that soundings and
borings to determine the character of
the harbor bottom in the vicinity of
the proposed wharf will be started
shortly.

PLAN TO
APPEASE
SIDES
Fishermen Would Receive Fair
Return, Broker a Fair Per-
centage and Trading Would
Be Abolished

Plans whereby the price of
fish in Honolulu will be fixed by
agreement among fishermen,
IS h companies and fish vendors
are being worked out by j. F.
Child, federal food adminlstra-
tor. Practically all handlers of
fish are in favor of the plan and
Mr.. Child expects to see it IN
operation within a short time.
General acceptance of it will
prove a soluti ion Of the high
price-of-fish problem.
The results anticipated from the
agreement are:
The fisherman will receive a return
which will make going to sea- worth
while;
Fish companies and fish vendors
will receive a fair percentage above
their actual operating expenses;
The price of fish to the public I'M
doubtedly will be lowered;
Dickering and trading between deal
er and consumer will be abolished.
Under the prospective agreement
the fishermen will sell their fish to
the retailer at a. price based on the
cost of the catch. This will mean a
direct sale, as at present, the fisn
companies and stall men handling the
financing and selling. According to
Mr.. Child. the fish vendors are will
ing to sell at an agreed price based
on the cost to them of doing business;
in other words the cost to them plus.
a certain percentage of the cost OF
their overhead expenses. !
Steps are now being taken to deter
mine the amount of the fish vendors
overhead expense, so that percen-
tage can be added to the price which
they pay to the fishermen. This will
determine what fair retail price
would be. .~
Thus the dealers will make fair
profit, and the profit to the fishermen
would make it worth while fors them
to fish. This, says Mr.. Child, would
have a tendency toEard increasing the
production of fish,! -:
"Thissis the end am working to-
ward" says the federal agent.
This agreement, however, will not
apply to mullet The fish ponds are
the largest producers of this variety.
Mr.. Child hopes to secure an agree
ment among the owners, or lessees, of
the mullet ponds for a certain fixed
price at which the fish will be sup
piled the vendors which would give
them a fair return for their invest
ment. He also expects to make a
similar arrangement for an agreed
percentage of profit to the seller,
which would establish set price on
mullet.
