as will be absolutely effective and vet
create as little friction as possible in
carrying out the desire of the citizens
of the Territory. But we must guar

New Wharf Needs
Dealing with wharves the governor
goes to considerable detail in regard
to appropriations for the Nawiliwili
project and subsequent developments
and quotes Col. Flagier as opposing
any appropriations for Hanamaulu
harbor,. favoring Nawiliwili and as
saying that unless speedy action be
taken he would recommend that fed
eral appropriations lapse.
His reference and recommendations
relative to Kahului wharf are covered
in another article In this issue and
he recommends an investigation as to
feasibility of a wharf for Kawaihae
and a report be submitted to the reg
ular session.
Provision for continuing Topographic
cal survey, for which he allotted
$4,000 from the contingent fund this
year, is recommended and as to a
geological survey he advises prepare
ton for legislation at the regular ses-
sion me asks that a reSo-
luton be passed asking the national
government to make a thorough sur
vey of the waters of the Pacific in
the immediate vicinity of the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Attention is called to sanitary con-
ditions at Waipahu, Oahu, which, he
says are a menace to the health of
the people of the Islands.
Amendments to the law to permit
of dental clinics in the schools and
to the Honolulu Frontage Tax Law
are asked. The Honolulu Rapid Tran
sit Company's proposed franchise and
the Territorial Fair are touched upon
AS to the latter he makes some COM
ments on the way the territorial ms
%titution has been conducted in com
parison to the Maui Fair which are
highly complimentary to the latter.
He asks hat investigation be had so
that at the regular session action be
taken so that the fair a be carried
on a definite basis or else abolished.
Purchase of Washington place by
the government is briefly dwelt upon
and coming to the Girls Industrial
School he asks an investigation OF a
proposed new site preparatory to leg
islation at the regular session. Some
amendment to the statute providing a
home for the feeble minded he sees
as necessary. Redress for Mrs. Myra
Heuer, a pension for the widow of
George w. r. King and preservation
OF committee records are the closing
items of his message.
County Bond Floating
AS to steps which will make easier
floating bond issues by the counties
and need of slight amendment to the
loan fund law he said:
"The method of issuing county
bonds differs slightly from that for
territorial bop
In the lat r case, the treasurer
with the approval of the governor is
authorized TO sell bonds at private
sale provided he receives a price equal
to that of the latest public sale. Ihe
counties feel that they should have
this same privilege and have prepared
an act covering the situation. This
bill is presented to you for your con
sideration."
Loan Fund Appropriations
1T has been the custom for the leg
islature at different sessions IN the
past to create lon bills providing FOR
public improvements.
"As no money could be expended
in the preparation of the plans LOT
these improvements and as delays
have been experienced in selling the
bonds, the department Of public works
has had difficulty in retaining its stan
of engineers. / have had an act pre-,
pared providing for a revolving Iuhu
from wsich the cost of preparing plans
for public improvements a De eN,
nended. TO be reimbursed from loan
funds as the bonds are sold"
