the Inter-Isiand wharf had been eoni
iemned, Kuhio wharf had taken In
S6133.19 gross receipts in the six
months from June last TO January !
and was now earning more than that.
After a little arithmetic, Senator shin
GLE and Senator Baldwin computed that
Il would have TO earn $50, 900 year be;
fore Il paid interest and sinking fund
CHARGES, let alone dividends. 4
Well, - said Chairman Single de.
Iiberately, 'I'd good deal rather vote
$4,000 fopa new wharf at Laha-
ina.t' .I
And yet, on deliberatiou, the Laha-
ina item In the budget Of the harbor
board didn 4 meet unqualified approval
Commissioner Church said frankly that
the appropriation would have TO be
considered more as measure of safe
'ty and protection Of life than a revenue
producer. Chairman Shihgle didn't see
how the legislature, faced as IL is with
demands that stretch the revenue of
the Territory 10 the breaking point,
could be induced to appropriate $225,.
600 for anything ut all that didn 4
PVmibC " pIOuucc bOuC lncome. -.'
Admittedly something had to be done
for Lahaihh, but WHAT Some kama-
ainas, the ehairman2ha had heard, beliey,
ed IL a channel were blasted in the
reef and the wharf pushed out, not
1900 feet as proposed, but to point
beyond the bad spot where the rollers
break, that would be enough. Senator
Baldwin had heard IL argued by old
salts that If the wharf were extend.
ed to the length proposed, the first ko-
ma would batter 1t to bits. The heavy
swells, thrown upward by the substruc.
ture, these Authorities held, would rear
and charge down upon Che superstruc-
ture, buffetting IL TO flinders.
No definite decision was reaehed, but
1t seems to be the sense of the meet.
ing that, although an appropriation for
Lahaina undoubtedly would be made,
probably II would not cover plans so
ambitious as those proposed by the
bnard of harbor commissioners.

WASHINGTON, March 24-several
of the, large railroads yesterday filed
a petition with the interstate com.

thirty days instead of having the petit

Presidents of the Eastern railroads

While there Is nothing official TO

permission TO increase rates on an
tverage Of at least fifteen per cent, the
southern roads ten, and the Western

Senator Single Warns Ha,-bor
Board To Make Haste Slo,UL

Speaking bluntly," Senator Shin
gle, chairman of the senate ways and
means committee, told the board Of
harbor commissioners last night, "what
] want to get through my noodle is
this: ..E M,
''I travel around the Islands n good
deal and when 1 see splendid wharf
like that at Kibei taking on and put
ting off a few bags Of sugar and
few crates Of chickens and now and
then passenger; and when See a
splendid wharf like the Kuhio wharf
ut Hilo--I wish to goodness we had
IL here in Honolulu--which the Mat
son people won use and to which the
Great Northern went once and doesn t
90 any more, ..s......-tl M ~
The Senator stopped for breath and
then went on more emphatically than
ever: when see things like these
le continued, III want something that
will bind these people hard and fast,
before ] build another wharf. i don't
want to, / III be hanged If I win, build
another wharf that these people won't
s1se.'' W. y &
The joint session Of the committee
and the board was discussing an item
of half a million In the budget Of the
board for another wharf in Hilo.
Charles r.. Forbes, ehaifinah of the
BOARD, told the committee ne had as
surances from Captain Matson and
from the Inter.Island Steam Naviga-
tion Company, that they both would
use the new wharf II II was built
But have you got ahythihg I'M
black and whitei'' asked Chairman
Single of the committee. 1t failed
20 develop that anything in black and
white existed. 'FTft
z Colonel Mccarthy explained the in
trieate" and Interesting history of the
'Kihei wharf, built, as the board sup-'
posed, TO meet the wishes Of the Inter-
Island, and how II aftefward developed
that Joseph Sheedy, late general super
ntendent of the company, computed
hat TO stop at Kihei, instead Of at
I NeGtegor 3 Ehidihg, would cost the
ompany one thousand extra miles a.
year, at the rate Of five miles addi-.
ional for every trip, whereupon the
company changed its mind and the
wharf became merely a handsome mon
ument. s
All right, y returned Single pick
ing up again where he had left on,
that explains Kihei, and we all know
about Kuhio wharf. Now don't You
gentlemen, think you ought to get
omething definite, something in black
and white, from Mr.. Inter. island and
he rest of them before you spend half
a million, SO you won't become the
laughing stock of the Territory We
