Public Works Head
See Maui Landings

Superintendent of Public Works l..
H. Bigelow, and VIM. DESMOND,
engineer of the department, made
the round trip on the Claudine from
Honolulu this week to look into the
matter of landings at Hama and La
haina.
According to Mr.. Bigelow he will
probably approve plans for the Hama
wharf to be located on the east side
of the harbor, close under Kauiki
Head, and almost opposite from where
the old landing stands. With the
$4,000 available for this wharf, it is
planned to build a structure $50 feet
long and AZ feet wide, with an ap-
proach of 25 by SO feet.
The engineers spent some time at
Lahaina on Wednesday afternoon
looking into the conditions of land
ing passengers and freight at that
point. Mr.. Bigelow made inquiries
from number of persons but did not
express himself as to how the Laha-
ina landing may be improved or made
more safe.

ed chairman of the board, and DR..

ed by the plantation Office forces.

purpose of securing a list of the men

gistration, either through coming of

Mr.. Child arrived on Maui on We'd
nesday night and since that time he
has been very busy putting local
dealers straight on many points con-
cerning the requirements of the food
administration that have not been
generally understood. 1t is believed

better understanding on the part of
local food dealers than in the past.
A meeting held at the chamber of
commerce rooms yesterday afternoon
was attended by practically all of
the store-keepers of this part of the
Island. Mr.. Child, through interpre-
ters, went carefully over the food
laws and answered many questions,

Misunderstanding that have hereto

conducting a similar meeting at Paia.

appointed a price fixing board for
Maui which will have the task of re-
ceiving regular reports from all mer-
chants concerning prices, and the pre-
pairing from these of list of whole
sale and retail prices that will be fair
and reasonably uniform throughout
the county. These prices are to be
regularly published for the informa-
tion of dealers and consumers alike.
The board named consists of c. E.
Barter, Will. j. Cooper, and A. F.
Tavares. 1t is expected to organize
as soon as possible and get down to
business.
The principal effort of Mr.. Child on
this trip has been to make clear to
bakers and restaurant men the restic-
tions on the use of white flour and
sugar. He particularly urged them
not to quit making bread and rolls.
Mr.. Child will return to Honolulu
tomorrow evening.
