HonoIuIu's Great Necessity "A
Dry Dock.

Mr.. EDITOR: Much has been
written and much has been said
abou; the geographical position of
Honolulu, being the port of call in
the near future in the event of the
completion of the Pacific cable
and Nicaragua canal but as yet
no measure has so far been adj
vanced by the country to make
the port q maritime necessity, as
it were, to the great ocean freight
carriers and modern ships of war.
Such necessity would arise if we
had here dry dock of dimensions
sufficient to take in any national
ship, as we'll as merchant ship.
Owing to the material used in
modern ship structure of hulls
they now are necessitated to dock
at frequent intervals for overhaul
ing of the hulls for cleaning and
painting.
Now that the Legislature is in
session scheme of this nature
intelligently laid before the PEG
ple's representatives, ought to com
mand more attention to the rails
ing up of a costly mound of niue
and sand, such as is now beinI
formed on the east side of tn
harbor, to be a constant menace t
the destruction of the harbor, fror
the force of the first southern
storm that may at any time arise
and the force of the waves washe
those accumulations into the char
mel way and harbor.
Two sites are respectfully sui
,mitted. One is the locality frol
the east side of the foot of A1akt
street to a line continuing south
Punchbowl street to the Marin
Railway. This location wou
give a fair way to the entran
from the channel and would avo
the turning of the largest steame1
The other site although it m
create some ridicule on the part
some, has nevertheless much me
and worthy of attention in t
connection, this is the Kalihi-l
basin. The channel way althou

now swallow mas the merit OF
short straight lead from the sea,
and large area inside the reef for
an excavated dock, and the local
ity being a suburb of Honolulu its
location there would not detract
value from property or business in
Honolulu.
However, the site for frst-class
dry dock should be confined, if
possible, to property in the con-
troll and possession of the govern
ment, for to go outside of this
would, in the opinion of the writer,
open up questions of local and
individual claims. Judgment in
selecting a site for dry dock
should not be clouded by exacting
and considering too many condi-
tons as essential. Many desir-
able features may be provided arti-
ficially proving as effective as if
they originally existed. Prejudice
should not prevail where a loca-
ton has the essential character
istics and merits. The most prom
inent of the latter are ingress and
egress to the sea, solid ground cap
able of affording good foundations
for the heaviest structures, album
dance of room, and absence of
rapid currents.
It requires no argument to show
that if Honolulu is to command
Importance in the Pacific Ocean,
the necessity of a large dry dock
must be recognized, and energetic
and intelligent steps taken at an
early day with view of accom-
plishing that object, and we ought
not to be blind to our deficiency of
this great need.
When Rear-Admiral Kimberly,
of the United States navy, was
here, he warmly commended the
writer's views of dry dock on the
site in the vicinity of His Late Ma
iesty's boat house, as well as the
| writer's ideas for lessening the cost
of dredging and preventing the &C
| cumulating of silt in the harbor,
as also an inexpensive plan of Sc
curing vessels in Naval row, and
| prevent their waltzing up against
| the wharves whenever there is a
breeze of any force from south of
east or west. The Admiral en-
CURED of the writer why he didn't
make his views known on these
matters. His reply was that in
1884 he was called crank for
attempting the introduction OF
steam plows, and railways and iron
buildings on sugar plantations here
and was in correspondence then
with Messrs. Aveling q Porter and
Fowler & Co., manufacturers. The
present president of the Legislature
can confirm this statement if he
| chooses.
| Herewith is an almost accurate
| description of several dry docks
and their cost, except the cost o
the Mare Island dock, whose his
tory of construction has not beer
reputable.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN Ross.
