Hon. James II. Boyd.
Superintendent of Public Works:
Sir:-I have the honor TO submit for
Your consideration may showing loca-
lions of pools and bitches, and proposed
map shows the size and location OF all
ponds and bitches in Kewalo district,
also proposed line for drainage ditch.
Figures in black within margins of
bitches and ponds denote the elevation
of bottom above mean tide.
Same figures in roadways, indicate ele-
walton at every hundred feet.
1t is intended to extend the drainage
ditch to King street. and from King
street along Kapiolani to Lunalilo, and a
branch along King from Kapiolani 20
Victoria.
This will intercept all water coming
from mauka and carry it direct TO the
sea.
l am satisfied that the appropriation OF
S26. 600 made by the last legislature, is
ample to complete the entire system. 1t
will be impossible to completely drain |
all of the ponds, as in many cases the |
bottom of the ponds are below tide level |
There is no more important piece OF
work that is directly to the welfare and |
interest of the residents of Kewalo dis !
tr.ct than the construction of he drain |
age system. and further il is recognized |
by all sanitary engineers that storm |
drainage is as much a necessity to the |
health OF the community as the construc-
ton of sanitary sewers, especially in |
low-lying and malarial districts, such as
kewalo.
l have the honor to be-
Your obedient servant.

Assistant Superintendent of Public
