Is on the ground ready to be laid as
soon as the reservoir is completed; this
reservoir ought to be pushed TO compile.
ton as soon as possible before the dry
season sets in.
2. Eight thousand dollars TO cuii.
plete the Diamond Head reservoir. The
pipes are all connected and ready to
I'LL the same as soon as the reservoir Is
competed,
3. Six thousand dollars for the pur.
chase of the lands at the electric light
station. The Government has lease
of fifty years on this property at the
rental of S4O0 per annum. We have
already paid $500 in rent, There is
p clause in the lease speclfyingthat the
Government can purchase this at any
time for $4,000, and as a business prop.
osition IL ought to do so.
4. One hundred and fifty thousand
dollars for the proposed reservoir No.
4 above Luakaha.
Surveys have been made by such ex.
petrs as Schussler, Bruner, Allard and
others. Maps, plans and estimates for
the work can be found in the office OF
the Assistant Superintendent of Public
Works, and hope that the legislators
will see their way clear to make this
appropriation.
Lights and Water.
Honolulu wants more lights and
more water; this reservoir connected
with a 2i.inch main to the electric
! light station would generate all the
power necessary for lights as well as
for running the pumps, which will be
great saving in fuel, as neither coal
nor oil would be used.
There could be series of reservoirs
built above Luakaha instead of one;
there are natural basins in the valley
suitable for reservoir sites and If piped
from one to the other would be great
deal safer than one larger one.
8. Ten thousand dollars for enlarg-
ing the two reservoirs above the cleo
trio light station, Nuuanu valley, SO
that We would have more room for
storm waters for the rate payers on
the higher levels.
6. Twenty-Five thousand dollars for
high-lift reservoir and pipe.
I. Forty.fve thousand dollars for the
high lift pump. This includes pump,
one new boiler, foundations, additions
to building pipe, valves and connec.
tons complete. This pump is an act.
ual necessity as the present pump on
Beretania street wants overhauling
badly. 1t has been running night and
day for the past seven years, and is
liable to give out at any time.
Need for Filter.
s. | would again recommend that an
appropriation of 100000 be made for
the purchase of filter plant, as the
late storms have shown us that all the
water from the valley ought to be Al
tered.
8. One hundred and seventy.five
thousand dollars for the purchase OF
10000 feet of S.inch cast-iron pipe and
10000 feet of 6-inch cast.iron pipe.
This amount will cover the expenses
necessary for gates, fittings, packing,
lead, carriage. laying, etc.
10. Nine thousand dollars for the
purchase of and placing in position lou
fire hydrants.
New Pipe Needed.
The above pipes and fire hydrants
are to be placed on the following
