A couple OF times during the reign OF
the late King Kalakaua figures were
made and plans drawn by engineers.
Since the men now directing the gov
ernmential affairs first took charge il
has been their settled intent TO provide
sanitation. Happily for the health and
lives of population the black sand a
few feet beneath the surface almost
all over Honolulu has proved an ex-
cellent natural drainage vehicle. But
for that there would have been epide-
mic after epidemic here What might
be called the rapid growth Of Homo
lulu has been during the past five
years and continues During that pc
Rod it has become evident that the
provision Of a sewerage system was d
duty and q necessity. To this end
Minister King entered into correspond
ence with Rudolph Herring, OF New
York. one of the foremost civil and
sanitary engineers. a man then known
by reputation here 10 Engineer F. S.
Dodge, Professor Alexander and others.
Mr. Dodge attended TO the details of
the correspondence. This began Aug
use II. 1886 In December OF that
same year Mr.. Herring came 10 Homo
lulu. He remained several months,
studied conditions, gathered data Of
all kinds and made a variety Of meas
urements and investigations.
