The organization OF the Union
Iron Works Co. was completed yes
tcrday at the Office of j. n. s. Will
liams by the election of the follow
ing officers: President, ]. n, ).
Williams; Secretary and Treasurer,
Robert More; Auditor, A. j. Cart
wright, who jointly constitute a
Board of Directors. The company
has Incorporated with a capital of
$4,000 aud with the privilege of
increasing the same to 100000.
The works viii he located on the
east side OF kaumana street extend
ing from Queen to llalekauila
streets. The property is leased
from Hon. II. a. Widemann and the
ground area is about two acres. The
stone building 80 feet by 30 feet
on the corner Of kaumana and lIa-
lekauila streets will be devoted to
the machine and blacksmith shops.
On the corner of kaumana and
Queen streets substantial iron
building 80 feet by 80 feet inside
measurement, is being erected. This
when completed will be used for the
foundry. The large space left be-
tween these two buildings will be
utilized as yard for large castings,
etc.
Opposite the machine shop and
fronting on IIalekauila street is
new brick building 20 feet by 50
feet which forms part of the COM
pany property. Entering from the
front short hallway, hanked by the
office on the right and by the
draughting room on the left, each 'lG
feet by IL feet, leads into show
room 4 feet by 30 feet. Back of
this is the pattern shop with dimcn-
sions of 20 feet by 81 feet.
In the course of a fortnight the
machinery now in use in Il. More &
Co.'S shop will he removed to the
company's machine shop. This will
form but the nucleus of the plant
designed to he in use. Additions of
machinery of modern style and adap-
ted to the requirements of skillful
and rapid workmanship are now be-
ing made and will from time to time
be made according to necessity.
The new iron foundry will be pro-
vided with n travelling crane and all
the most approved appliances for
casting, etc.
This new enterprise springs into
existence on the hypothesis that the
rapid opening of new industries and
the quickcned development of long
established works, affords field
for its inception and prosecution.
Its competition will be lcveled prin-
cipalIy against similar foreign
branches of industry. The scope of
its business will include the manu-
facture and setting of diffusion ma
chinery, irrigation machinery, pumps,
etc. All kinds of steamship and
plantation work and repairs will re-
ceive faithful attention and prompt
execution. The capacity for per.
Torrance will be equal to all de.
mands on its resources.
The management will rest with
Mr.. j. n. S. Williams and Mr.. II.
More will act as shop superlntend
cnt. Concerning Mr.. Williams /,
may be said that his enviable repu-
tation as an engineer has been
greatly enhanced during his resi-.
dence on the Hawaiian Islands. The
diffusion process owes its advent OF
this group largely TO his representa-
tions, The diffusion plant at Kea
liza, Kauai, was imported and set VI
by him IN 1887. That his repre-
sensations were reliable may be in
ferred from the introduction under
his direction of diffusion plants a
IIanalei, Kauai, and IIamakuapoko
Maui, in 1899. He also manufac
tured and introduced on the Kekah,
plantation, Kauai, the tlume in us'
there, made of sheet iron bent in
semi circular form. 1t is probable
that this style Of flumc will shortl,
supcrsede the ordinary wooden ont
which now obtains. The slicing
machines employed in connection
with diffusion are his own invention
and patents are issued in his name
the world over. The first quadrupl'
effect ever i'm use in this cOuntr,
was put up by Mr.. Williams at Ike
ALA Mill.
Mr.. Williams is sanguine concern
ing the prospects of the new enter
prise. The undertaking of which
he is the head aims TO supply pro
auctions and manufactures in it
line at and even below the cost o
foreign importations. Taking int
consideration the patents held b.
him, the delay, freight and genera
losses incident TO importation an
that the Union Iron Works Co. i
here on the field of action, Mr.
Williams suspicious auguries seer
to have a substaptia! foundation
That Mr.. Il. More's experience an
skill will form valuable supplement
to his own goes without saying. Th
works will be in full running orde
in eight or ten weeks.
