Rice from Delegate Kalanianaole,
K. w. Breckons and others in posi-
ton to know the trend of things
urging that people on Kauai hav-
ing friends in Congress write them
letters at once urging the passage
of the Nawiliwili breakwatcr item,
which will come up for considera-
tion about the first of February.
The letter of the Delegate (who by
the way, feels earnestly in favor of
this project is as follows:
In order to leave no loophole in
our fight for the harbor improve
ment at Nawiliwili / desire to make
this suggestion for your considera-
ton.
OF course | am making the best
nght possible with the House Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors, which
is now engaged in framing the river
and harbor measure for this session
of congress. You will recall that
the House last year refused to APP
propriate for any Hawaiian projects,
but that in the Senate the Kahului
project was put in and insisted up
on by our friend Senator Jones, of
Washington. OF course the House
gave way to the Senate when the
measure went to conference, and
the Kahului project remained in
the bill and has become law.
