FOR
WHARVES
Tenders Received
for Bishop
Dock.


wharves, which are to be constructed
by the Bishop estate upon its lands at
Kakaako, have been opened and are
now under consideration by commit
tee, consisting of Trustee A. w. Garter
and Messrs Dodge and Rowel. While
there has been no decision rendered, the
tenders have been of such a wide scope
that there is a good prospect that one
will be found acceptable and that the
work will be rushed along without any
delay other than the making of the le-
gal arrangements.
The lowest bid for the work was that
.of Cotton Brothers which firm agreed
to make the excavation, construct the
wharves, watersheds and railroad lines,
within the space of ten months, for the
sum of sli5,OS2. This is $4,000 below the
next bid. The tenders cover all the
phases of the work, some bidders fiSur-
ing upon the eXcavating only, and 9TH
ers upon the construction of the
wharves and sheds alone. The bidders
were not only local firms, but there
were tenders received from san Fran
cisco and New York, Healy Tibbets &
Co. of the former city being the builders
VI Nll' W IItl anu 'pil ShtbS III NV
navy department at Page Page, and
.Milliken Brothers of the latter city be
ing the builders of many of the new
sugar mills in the islands.
The Improvement for which the ten
ders were received will change entirely
the upper end of the harbor The
wharves will be located at that point
where the Myrtle boathouse now
stands. They viii reach to the harbor
line and there will be a slip eXcavated
SO as to give to the longer of the two
wharves 800 feet extent and to the
shorter one $50 feet. The. wharves will
be of the bulkhead pattern. The slip
will be dredged to a width of 100 feet
and the wharves will be placed on eth
er side of 1t. They will not be of the
same width, one being only forty feet
while the other viii be seventy feet.
There will be sheds upon each and rail
road lines will run the length of the
WharVes SO as To connect ships which
may come up to the wharf with the
Honolulu Iron Works first and in the
event of a belt line road, with the en-
entire water front.
The specifications call for the con
struction Of the docks upon the most
approved plans. and the sheds will have
as great floor space as it is possible to
give to such structures. The placing of
the wharves will be of great value to
the estate, as it will place the district
at the Waikiki end of the harbor in
close touch with the water which will
render shipments and the receipt of
coal much more easy and cheap than
at the present time.
