RECTION in the near future of warehouses .which will practically double its present storage space, is being "planned by tho Oahu Rail way & Land Co., It was announced to day, and it may be only a few weeks before building is b'egun.

With the confirmation of the report that the Maui, Matsonia and Wilhel- mina are to be diverted for use in the Atlantic there is a possibility, railway officials say, that ships may be few and far between, and that it will be necessary to store sugar in Honolulu between vessels, as .well as the sur plus. . Tne new warenouses will be or a 6ize sufficient to store between 15,000 and 18,000 tons of sugar. The pres ent warehouses ' take care of abuut 20,000 tons of commodities.
