LETTER FROM MR.. HIGU.
Explaining why He Deferred His
Criticism on Opera House Roof


EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN -
/ wish to offer, on account of the
amount of criticism and rumor
still going the rounds, created by |
statements made by me relative to |
the safety of the Opera House
roof, the following reasons for my
having presented my communica.
ton so late as five days ago. Some
three weeks before my letter APP
peared 1 called a gentleman's
attention, a resident of Honolulu,
to, in my mind, the weak points
the roof contained and asked him
to see for himself and try to have
it repaired. have every confidence
in that gentleman's ability. He
told me be would give the matter
his attention. / met him two or
three days later; he said he had
seen the plans and found them as
l had stated to him; also said he
had arranged to have the neces
sary repairs made, and | am quite
sure he stated also he would let
me know when they were com.
pleted. He also agreed that the
matter had better be done quietly as
far as we we're concerned. L heard
no more from this gentleman up
to the Friday my letter came out.
But before / allowed my letter to 60
to the press'it was reported to me
direct from the architects Office
that the work had not been done.
Then 1 let my letter be printed.
1t is far from me to criticise a
mans work if ] know the criticism
not to be just, but l am certain in
my own mind the roof was re
paired after the appearance. of my
letter Friday evening, and before
the report of the committee on
Saturday afternoon. So as for
that committees report, which l
think correct without a doubt,
having anything to do with
the correctness of my state
ments in my letter is TAX
ing very wrong view of the
matter, for that committec reported
on a repaired roof, for | have it
from good authority the repairs
were not completed ON that roof
until the forenoon of Saturday
was far spent. | would like to
say also TO the people of Hawaii,
or whom il might concern, that
if it ever was found necessary to
construct large timbers by build
ing them up Of planks, it would be
we'll to have the plauks as dry as
possible, and sized to an even
thickness, and we'll coated with
carbolineum, before boiling to-
gether, for there is more or less
danger of a sort Of fungus growth
to take place between the planks,
and cause decay, and also much
better chance for ants and other
wood destroyers to work between
the plankiug, which | think would
be greatly guarded against by tax
ing that method of precaution.
Now as for the proper size of
timbers for truss to span a
space of 60 feet to carry an ordin.
airy slate roof, 1 would say also
should be a tie beam 9x12 with
principal rafter 7x9, but in no au
thority l have ever seen was the
rafter as large as, or stronger than -,
the tie beam. l can give ample
proof of this from works that are
authority on carpentry.
l hope this letter will relieve
the minds of the people of Homo
lulu, of any impression that |
tried by any method to injure any
one unjustly or at all. Thanking
you, Mr.. Editor, for your valuable
space. PETER HIGH.
