LONDON, Nov. 2s-The continued de-
cline in the price of silver causes consid-
srsble comment in financial circles.
According TO the best informed houses.
Il is regarded as being directly due to
China food ag the market with silver IN
payment Of the indemnity TO the powers.
Prior TO the recent disturbances China
was a large buyer Of silver in London, but
now the balance Of trade is reversed and
instead Of China taking silver in return for
tea. silk - --he- si;ielcc imported into
the United Kmguom it has to ship silver
in payment Of manufactured articles. This
alone, without the large indemnity dis
bursements, is considered sufficient TO ac-
count for the depreciation in the value OF
the metal. II is pointed out that even
Il China paid the indemnity in gold the re-
suit would be the same. as 1t would have
TO send the same quantity Of silver TO Eu-
Sopc in order to buy gold.
The Chinese contention that China should
pay the indemnity at the higher rate OF
exchange In force when the recent peace
treaty was signed finds some support among
the leading English houses. who are not
only alarmed at the prevailing conditions
on account OF their far eastern trade, but
also on account of their large commerce
with India
New York ia Alarmed.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26-Todays further
declines In the price Of silver fixed a new
low record in the history Of the world. II
was much commented upon in banking cir
cles. causing considerable anxiety among
merchants doing business with China and
the far east
To bankers, however, the most signih-
cant news OF the day was the cable advices
to the effect that the Siamese government
had instructed the mint TO Immediately
cease the free coinage of silver. Coincident
with this development was the decline to-
day Of silver at Bombay TO a level several
points below London.
An interesting feature Of the drop in sill
yer was the advantage reaped by laundry
men and small merchants of the Mott street
district through being able to purchase
silver bills at so low & rate. They hockec
down town today cash in hand, sending
heavy remittances to friends at home
Most Of them were surprised at the larg'
sums allowed for the amount turned in.
In New York commercial bars wer'
quoted at AK cents per ounce and Mexican
dollars at 81 cents.
MEXICO, Nov. 26-Tbe unsettled con
eition of the foreign exchange market con
tinues. The banks and private banker
scarcely know how 20 sell exchange, mos
of them refusing any large business pend
ing more definite information. There 4
no settled rate and transactions were mad

ognized and discussed for many years.
1t is of very great Importance that the
work be undertaken. While the cost
may seem large, it would not equal the
cost to the country of two or three
epidemics of infectious diseases to say
nothing of the loss of life"
From our experiences of the plague
epidemic of 1898, one can fully appre-
ciate the force of the above words.
During that entire period, the method
of removing the sewage matter from
the City of Honolulu was by means OF
three odorleSS eXcaVator wagons,
which, working "a hours day could
not remove more than 10000 gallons of
sewage matter. With a population of
10000 people, and under
an assumption of so gallons per cap
ita there was a total of 100000 gal
Ions of sewage matter disposed daily
in the cesSpools of the City of Homo
lulu The total amount that could be
removed by the excavatorS being 3O,OoO
gallons, there was then daily amount
of 1,77OOOO gallons of sewage matter
that had to be absorbed by the soil.
This condition had been going on for
many years, and one can realize what
must have been the condition OF the
soil in the thickly populated districts
of Honolulu. This was well exempt
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-01-01

The question of sewerage for Homo
lulu was first brought up when Mr..
George Alardt, c. E., of San Francisco
the Interior to report on a system for
Honolulu.
His report was made on May, 1890,
and can be found in the reports of the
Minister of Interior of that date.
Nothing however was done in the
though the Board of Health, and the
Department of the Interior continuous
ly and consistently urged upon the
Government, the necessity of some de-
cisive action being taken to place the
City of Honolulu in a sanitary condi-
ton.
1t was not until Hon. w. o. Smith,
the then President of the Board of
Health, and Attorney General wrote to
the Minister of Interior, that the mat
ten began to assume some definite
shape. The following quotation from
Hon W. O. Smiths letter expressed
fully the conditions and needs of prop
er sanitation.
when proper sewerage is provided
and the water and Stops, that are now
deposited in the back-yardS and under
Of the city, are thus disposed of, there
will be less chance for epidemic dis
eases"
Again recognizing the insanitation of
Honolulu. he used the following words:

that date he practiced his profession
in Oakland, varied by two years ser
vice as Deputy City Engineer, also in
street department of city of Oakland
until in 1899 he came to this city as
engineer upon the work of the con-
struction of the naval docks. February
oath, 1900 he was appointed by the
Hon. Alexander Young as Road Super
visor, and was reappointed by Super
intendent of Public Works McCandless.

He was educated in the schools and

mined upon career as an engineer
He first entered upon the practice with
his brother, who was in charge of wa
ter development in Southern Cali
fOrnia, and worked under T. w.
Morgan, c. E., when that officer
was in charge of the engineering de-
partment of the city. In 1886 he was
appointed as inspector in charge of sea
wall construction at the foot of Mar

to be done. See cut.
Many sewers in this district have
been put in by the property owners,
the government furnishing the pipe,
brick, manhole covers, etc, and the
property owners paying for the cost of
labor; all having been done in accord
ance with the original plans and spec
ifications and to the grade and line set
by the engineer.
In July, 1899, a contract was entered
into with Mr.. J. H. Wilson for the con-
Struction of the sewer outfall. After
completing 1,5O0 feet of the vitrified
24-inch pipe, he threw up the contract.
From this point it was taken up by the
Department, under the direction of Mr..
W. E. Rowell assistant superintendent
of public works, when 1900 additional
feet We're constructed to a depth of 40
feet of water
Funds at this time giving out, it was
impossible to carry the work as con-
templated to a depth of 100 feet.
So far there have been no defects
noticed at the end of the outfall. The
sewage only slightly discolors the sur
face of the water; there have been no
deposits along the beach, even when
our southerly winds are blowing.
On January Sth, 1900 a contract was
made with D. l.. Davis & Com
pany for the construction of pump
house and screen house. The build
ings are substantial as Well as orna-
mental, being built of native stone.
(See cut)
The specified tons for the construc-
ton of the sewer system We're partic-
ularly severe and rigid as regards leak
age. When work was suspended by
Of To- n(
superintendent of public works, tests
were made for leakage by F. B. Ed
wards, resident engineer. Many leaks
were found which were remedied by
the contractors and on final eXamina-
ticn, the leakage did not exceed that
permitted under the specifications.
In July, 1901, the system so far as
constructed under contracts % and (2)
were accepted by the superintendent
of public works.
On July 18th, Mr.. F. B. Edwards. the
resident engineer, severed his connec-
ton with the department of public
works, and returned to the East.
The insanitary and disgraceful con-
dition of Kewalo district made it i'm
perative that some action be taken to-
ward the construction of the sewerage
and drainage systems.
The legislature having made an APP
preparation of $4,000 for the sewer
age, and $4,000 for the drainage. was
Instructed by the superintendent of
public works to commence the con-
struction of the sanitary sewers. This
work has progressed rapidly, all in &C
cordance with the original plans and
specifications as designed by Mr.. Ru-
dolph Herring, c. E.

fled during the construction of the sew
ers, when the excavation of the necaS-
Sary trenches was made throughout the
city. The affluvia that was given
forth was very offensive, and many
cases of disease can be attributed to
the disturbing of the soil. Many strong
men who worked in these bitches were
laid up with typhoid and malaria.
The seepage which came into these
bitches was of nature nothing more
or less than sewage, which contrary to
the general belief did not find it's way
to the sea but was held in the soil
The actual work on a sewer system
for Honolulu commenced, when Mr..
Frank S. Dodge was sent to the United
States to investigate the matter of
sewerage, and it was upon his recon-
mediation that Hon. ]. A. King, Min
lister of Interior, sought and obtained
the services of Mr.. Rudolph Herring,
G. E., one of the recognized author
tiles in the United States on SANTA
ton. This was in 1896.
On January 5th, 1898, he supplied the
Department of the Interior with COM
piete plans and specifications for the
sewerage and drainage of Honolulu
and in his report acknowledged his in
Gebtedness to the Cabinet; the Bureau
of Surveys; and in particular to Hon.
j. ~. King, Minister of the Interior;
Hon. W. o. Smith, Attorney-General
and President of the Board of Health;
Mr.. William D. Alexander, Surveyor
General Mr.. Frank S. Dodge, City En-
Sineer; and Mr.. w. E. Rowell, Super
intendent of Public Works, for the
much valuable information and assist
ance kindly rendered.
IN Nnunrohar of "a Mr
Rudolph Herings services We're en-
gagged as supervising engineer. He APP
pointed Mr.. F. B. Edwards, c. E., as
resident engineer in charge of con-
struction.
In January, 1899, a contract was
entered into with Messrs. Vincent &
Belser to construct the sewers within
the area bounded by the harbor, River
street, Beretania street, Alapai street,
South street, and the street leading
from South street across to Ala Moana
road. This also included the main sew
ers on King street from Alapai to.
Thomas Square, and the construction
of the sewerage reservoir. This con-
tract was entirely completed under the
direct supervision of Mr.. F. B. Ed
wards, c. E, resident engineer.
On April eth, another contract was
let to the same parties for the extern
sion of the system covering the most
OF the remaining portion of the town
between Liliha street on the Eva side,
to Artesian street, beyond Punahou,
and as far mauka as Judd street, in
Guiding the Kewalo district. Due to
lack of funds, work under this contract
was suspended December 18th, 1900. A
large portion of this work yet remains
