Meeting is Called to
Discuss Proposal to
Change Pierhead Line

For the purpose of hearing express
sions from the citizens of Maui rela-
tive to a change in the pier head lines
of Kahului harbor a public meeting
will be held in the Territorial Build
ing a week from todorrow, Saturday,
March 10, at 2:30 o'clock in the after
noon.
If the new wharf is to take the form
Of a bulk head wharf paralleling the
Easterly breakwater a change in the
pier head line adopted ten years ago
is necessary so that proper dredging
may be done. Then the line was es-
tablished so that the pier head line
would parallel the end of the Claudine
wharf. Now it is desired to have the
line run at right angles to the one
that was then established.
Last month the Chamber took up
the subject of hearing with the army
engineer at Honolulu. That depart
ment suggested the date and the
chamber set the place and the hour.
1t is understood that if the sentiment
favors the change recommendation for
it will be made to Washington through
the army and that such recommends
ton will be practically an assurance
of favorable action.

The program this year is arranged
so that both track and field events
will be performed at the same time.
This gives all spectators ample oppOr-
tunity Cf Witnessing the sports that
they are especially interested in, with
no long waits between. Trial heats
will be conducted in the sprints.
Among the new events for this
year is the grenade throw, which has
been derived from the late war. The
grenade gives a weight event for small
boys which is more easily handled
than the shot put and in which keen
interest can be displayed.

COUNTY MAY BUY
AND RUN ISLAND
ELECTRIC PLANT
Committee Named by Board of
Supervisors to Investigate
and Report; Solution of
Problem Possible.

County ownership of an electric
lighting and power system looms as
a possibility following action taken
by the board of supervisors Just before
the close of the Wednesday session
1t is proposed that the county buy in
the property of the Island Electric
Company at the foreclosure sale ad-
yertised TO be held March 2S. The
chairman of the board of supervisors
are named committee to investigate
and report at the adjourned session of
the board. Such action would come
as a solution of a problem with which
Wailuku has been wrestling since last
June.
kaama Suggests Buying
Communications and reports were
out of the way Wednesday afternoon
Ehen Chairman Kalama brought the
subject up. He said that under ordin-
iry circumstances he was opposed TO
municipal or county ownership of
,uch utilities as lighting plants but
hat in case of Wailuku the situation
was different from the ordinary. An
electric lighting and power plant is
10 be sold under foreclosure and no
bidder is at hand so far as had been
heard. A start was made for the form
alton of a company to purchase the
franchise, plant and equipment of the
old company but the plan was aban-
doned the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany had purposed purchasing the
plant but had abandoned the plan
and only about two weeks remain for
a new plan to be offered.
For months past Wailuku has been
without light for its streets and prior
to that time the street lighting cost
the oouHtynearly $500 II month, light
ing of other county buildings and pow
er that will be needed at Malulani
hospital further increase county eX-
penses for light and power, remarked
Chairman Kalama, and it would ap-
pear that an economy may be effect
ed if the county supplies itself and
the public. He thought the proposal
was well worth the investigating and
that if the utility could be conduct
ed at profit by corporation it
might equally well be conducted by
the county, the lowest possible rate be
given the individual consumer and
the county save on the current used
for its own purposes.
"Why not?" inquired Supervisor
Drummond and then the motion for
a committee was put and carried.
Opposition Appears
At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon the
subject was considered by that body,
discussed from several angles and
generally opposed by those who spoke.
Opposition took the grounds against
municipal ownership of utilities, the
expense that would be entailed in
building up the plant into efficiency
and that the county should not go to
such an outlay to furnish lights for
two communities only. II was decid-
ed to notify the board of the opposi-
ton to the plan that developed at the
meeting.

Danish Girl Scout
Makes Hurried But
Busy Visit to Maui

She's a slim little slip of maid but
she has accomplished more in the
short 20 years she has lived than do
most women in twice the time, has
Miss Estrid Ott who has been visit
ing on Maui this week. Miss OFT is
a Danish Girl Scout, newspaper writ
er and author now touring the
world

she is, clad in a neat and serviceable
Girl Scouts uniform but she has secur
ed college education, has written
five books and had them published and
done newspaper work for the past
year and half. She has an offer for
the rights of publication of the book

ences on her present trip, is sending
correspondence back to her news

for important Girl Scout work and
leadership and holds the woman's rec

cent, Miss OFT talks Interestingly of
her trip and of her work and future
plans. She went from Denmark to
England last July and from Great
Britain she proceeded to the United
States. Two or three months she
spent in the Eastern States engaged in

ing special attention to cities and com
munities where the Girl Scouts were
not yet organized. Then she proceed
ed westward through the Middle and
Western States and TO the Pacific
Coast. In Denver a remittance from
her paper was delayed and she tasted
for five days rather than tell any one
OF her predicament, but says she did
not especially mind it.
From Honolulu she is going to
Japan, thence to China, on to H. lila
and thence to Egypt whence she will
proceed home. After she has written
her book she is planning a European
trip. She purposes, on her return
home to start and conduct news

her plans therefor fairly well Or
ganiZed already.

Maui Chamber of
Commerce Meets
Preliminary Report on Subject
of Wailuku Sewer System
Approved and More Detail
ed One to Follow.

Recommendation is made by the
Chamber OF Commerce TO the board
Of supervisors that the county should
purchase at once an odorless eXcavat-
or to relieve the situation that the
committee on the Wailuku sewer ques-
ton finds to exist. The action follow
ed the preliminary report of the com
mittee which said further report on
the subject of sewer system would
be furnished in detail later. That
probably means that no request for
inclusion OF an appropriation fol such
a sewer system will be asked at this
session Of the legislature. Under such
circumstances If sewer system be
in. aned within two yeats II would
have to be done through tax levy
unless there should be a special ses
SIN 81 the le. Stature meactima.
Besides considering the sewer Ques-
ton and the proposal for a county
electric supply for Wailuku and Ka-
hului the chamber took up several
other subjects, including the fixing of
March IS, /2:30 o'clock in the after
noon in the Territorial Building for
the public hearing on the proposed
pier head lines in kahului harbor.
rtNcIdl communications were re-
ceil ed among which was one from
the delegate on the Smith-Towner
''iil. written during the last session
Of congress. The delegate said he had
sought TO secure inclusion for Hawaii
but that at the next session he would
seek to have a separate bill passed
which would mean the same participa-
lion for the territory as if included in
the main bill.
The question of a territorial cham
Der of commerce was presented in a
letter from the Hilo Board of Trade
and the secretary will suggest to that
body that the subject is one for con-
sideration by the next Civic Conven-
ton.
Paul II. Townsley was elected to

CHICAGO GRAIN
AND Provisions

Chicago, ILL.,, March 17.-Signs of ex
haustion of buying power led TO a
stampede to unload by holders in the
wheat market today and caused prices
to crumble. The close was nervous,

to s1.57A and May $l.iS to s1.4SA. Corn
lost B4l1sc and oats, 7s@1c to 1a1isc.
Provisions gained 20 to 30c.
1t was evident that new incentives
were to bring about any dccid ID pro-
Grcss for bulls in wheat. Gossip was
current that an embargo against i'm
portation of agricultural products into
the United States had been decided en-
by President Harding but no Confir-
nation appeared TO be forthcoming and
the moderate uptTn failed to last.
Thon renewals OF uisGivings concern
ing the industrial outlook attracted
notice. 1t was at this stage that selling
ascribed to an elevator interest weak
ened the morale of the bulls and left
the market bare uf buying orders cX-
ccpt from shorts.
Corn and oats were frmcr carly
