100000 WORTH
OF LOCAL BONDS
Some Members Board of Trade
Want Wharf, Others Con-
crete Road to Volcano.
Especial Bulletin corrssDouGencs.I

HlLO, Oct. LIT was reported az
a meeting of the board OF trade OF
Hilo on Tuesday last that the sale OF
territorial bonds to local people was
going on all right and that over one
hundred thousand dollars had been
subscribed by local banks. 1t was al
so announced by J. w Russell, one OF
the members of the board OF trade
committee which has charge OF the
matter, that several firms had beer
considering the matter of purchasing
local bonds and that they probably
would do so.
Mr.. Russell said that the First Bank
of Hilo had promised to take up $780,
600; the Peoples Bank similar
amount and Bishop & Company $40
600. Hackfeld & Company and the
Hilo Mercantile Company would, 1t is
expected, also take up blocks of the
bonds.
II was also stated that there was =
chance of the Inter-Island Steamship
Company taking up bonds, the pro-
ceeds of which would be applied to
wharf building in Hilo.
by Mr.. Russell, c. Castendyke inquir-
ed as to what was the most favored
project upon whivh to expend the
money raised by the bonds.
1t turned out that the concerns that
were taking up bonds seemed TO favor
the expenditure of the money upon a
concrete road to the volcano before
anything else In fact most Of the
money was pledged on that under
standing.
R. w. Filler stated 1t as his en-
phatic opinion that the first money
should be expended upon a wharf for
Hilo. Such wharf is an absolute ne
cessity, whereas O concrete road to
the volcano is luxury that could be
constructed, later on, said the super
tntendent Of the local railroad.
