A minority of your committee APP
pointed to examine into and report
upon the dredging plant now at
work upon the Bar at the entrance
to the harbor deem it necessary, con-
sidcring the Bill that comes up for
its third reading this day, to present
a preliminary statement in the alb
sence of the chairman of your COM
mittee, and have the honor to report
as follows:
We visited the dredger yesterday
afternoon and found it working
smoothly; the Superintendent, Mr..
L. G. Young, showed us over the
vessel and it was very apparent that
| good and satisfactory work was be-
ing carried on. We also had certain
soundings taken at few points in
the track of the dredger, and we
find that about one-half of the chan
mel has been dredged to depth
varying from 80 to 80 feet at mean
tide. We also visited the sand
dump on the Kakaako flats and found
that quantity of sand from the Bar
estimated at from 10000 to $4,000
cubic yards has already been de-
posted inside the retaining walls and
the dredges was now delivering sand
on this place at the rate of about 900
cubic yards per "a hours.
We have also carefully consider
ed the contract documents respecting
the matter and find therein no cause
for complaint against the executive
of this Government, everything APP
parently being in order.
We find that the monees expended
by the Government in the two con-
tracts for dredging plant and cutting
the channel through the bar are az
follows:
On account of the dredger plant
Amount of contract, S65, 900.
Amount paid on contract as pei
contract rs percent of total price
S4S,750.
Balance due contractors whcr
dredge is accepted and turned over
as per contract 25 percent, $3.50
On account of dredging the chan
mel:
Amount of contract, $40, 600.
June 30, paid on account as PEI
contract per month of June WORK
done on bar, $500.
Balance due as the work progress
ses, $40, 800.
Contract stipulates that ''pay
ments are to be made monthly on tn,
first of each month in the proportion
that the said work bears to the entr
contract"
Respecting the manner in whicl
the contract for the dredging plan
has been carried out by the contrac
tors as to capacity of machine an
time of delivery, we reserve on
judgment until an inspection by thu
full committee shall have taken place
