FOR STORM
DRAINAGE
The Electric Company's
Proposition.
TO WIDEN HOTEL Street
Added Width From Elite Building to
Public library--Rapid Transit
Plans Approved.

Superintendent of Public Works
McCandless brought up before the
Governors Council yesterday forenoon
the matter of putting in storm sewer
from Halekauwile street and the Ha-
waiian Electric Company's works on !
Halekauwila and Alakea streets TO the |
harbor. This proposition was made by |
the company a short time ago when |
they asked permission TO run a sewer
pipe line from their works to the
harbor. 1t was suggested then that
the sewer be so constructed as to carry
away all surface drainage from Hale
kauwila street as we'll. Mr.. McCand
less stated that since the proposition
was made it was ascertained that the
27-iEch pipe was insufficient to take
away such drainage. aud would be of
little use to the Territory in case it
| was desired to carry the line up the
street
He also stated that the Hawaiian
Electric Company would be willing to-
pay the Territory what it would cost
TO put In a 2I-inch sewer if the Ter
ritory wished to put in a larger one.
| a motion was passed recommending
that Mr.. McCandless put in this sewer
according to the plans shown by him
at the meeting, providing the electric
company pay the Territory the esti-
mated cost of the 27-inch sewer. 1t is
anticipated this will mean the installa-
tion of a 81 x "a inch low arch sewer
drain.
Mr.. McCandless also presented the
| quest ton of widening Hotel street from
the location of the Elite building to
| Alakea street. The meeting recon-
mended that the street be widened
| from the Waikiki corner of the Elite
building along the makai side to the
| mauka Waikiki corner of the Public
Library building on Alakea street.
One of the propositions presented was
of such a nature that the cupola of
the Library building would have to
be cut of, and the change was made
to obviate this.
| Manager Ballentyne OF the Rapid
Transit Company appeared before the
Council and reported on the PROPOSE
ton of the company to run its track
across Nuuanu stream from Hotel
street and cutting through a portion
OF Aala Park until the track ran into
King street again, a short distance
from the bridge. He exhibited a mar
as requested of him at the last meet
ing showing the change of location o
the line of route as voted upon a
the last meeting. The council, recon
| sidered it's vote at the last meeting
and approved the line of route as orig
inally presented.
A letter from Theodore Richards I,
the Department of Public Works rela
tive to Relief Camp No. 2. which Is t
be sold at Public Auction shortly, wa
s read by Mr.. McCandless. He sal
|. that the balance on hand from run
ming the camp was $500, and thi
amount was insufficient to build tn
proposed sewer extension to the CAM
lie asked the government IL 1t woul
consent to paying the remainder OF tn
cost OF the proceeds from the sale {
the buildings. The council decide
the government could not grant tn
"A request.
