Where Should The
riliwili Wharves
Be Located?
When the breakwator now being
built at Nawlllwlll Is finished only the
rirst Btop 'in the Important Job ot
facilitating Kauai's shipping w'll
Iravo been taken. The next Bteps
will bo more oxpenslve and will re
quire much serious thought anil
study. The question of tho locating
of the wharves Is all important.
It Is a well known fact that no one
kuowB very much about tho action
of ocean currents, onco somo ob
struction Is put In their paths to
deflect their course. It Is highly
problematical just what course they
will take. They don't seem to fol
low plans or human Ideas. When
they are supposed to angle one way
they usually take the other. When
it is thought that they will naturally
gradually fill up one place, quite
often they sweep It deoper than
ever and vice versa.
But, nevertheless, It Is Important
to bo making some plans of action.
This necessity was emphasized at
the last meeting of the Kauai Cham
ber of Commerce and a letter was
sent to the board of harbor commls
stoners to find out just what plans,
if any, have been made. Chairman
Blgelow's reply Is printed so that
chamber members can consider the
matter and make recommendations
at the next meeting to be held this
month. This is what Mr. Blgelow
aays: 'iSffiE
"As -yet we have not considered
any plan for the construction of
piers and wharves at Nawlllwlll af
ter tho breakwater has been complet
ed for the reason that there is or
will be from a half million to one
million dollars of dredging to bo
, done and this has not been author
ized by Congress. Furthermore wo
nre without appropriation for pre
liminary surveys or tentative plans
for the construction of piers anil
wharves at Nawlllwlll.
"Now- that you have brought tho
matter before the board, and in or
der that wo may have some idea
of what the Kauai residents would
most desire, may wo ask you tho fa
vor of submitting to the board any
ideas you have in mind concerning
tho proposed wharf and tho location
.of tho same.

BELIEVE IN SUGAR'S FUTURE

of them, however, aro very optim
istic over the eventual outcomo and
expect to retrieve their losses in
the next few years.
