Arguments Presented.
Superintendent Cooper draws atten.
ton to the plan recently prepared for
wharf extension In Honolulu harbor
The item OF $4,000 for dredging the
harbor is inserted because OF the
doubtfulness OF obtaining an appropria.
ton from Congress In time for use the
coming year
Referring to the new Nuuanu reser.
voir, Mr.. Cooper says: by the con.
struction OF this Improvement. large
supply of water will be secured for the
city and an opportunity given for gen
Grating electrical power, to be used for
extending the lighting system of Homo.
lulu, aud also for running the present
pumping plants"
The necessity for filter is also urg.
ed and MIR Cooper hopes that 1t will
receive hearty support for by its use
pure water for the city will be insured.
which will be a very material item In
reducing causes OF sickness"
From the new reservoirs the power
" to be obtained for 300 new electric
lights. IL is recommended also that a
conduit be built for the placing of all
electric wires underground. rent to be
charged to the private corporations
using It, Wires are said to be an OBJ.
struction to the fire department. and
the poles disfgure the city. A recon.
nIendation is made also that the Legis.
iature compel all electric companies to
place their wires underground within
q two-mile radius of the Capitol.
Reference is made also to the need
of the reconstruction of the Judiciary
building, and the necessity for accom-.
mouations for the courts, while that is
going on. County officers must also be
accommodated.
"A new penitentlary Is needed for
the Island of Oahu" Mr.. Cooper says,
and | believe that the site at present
occupied by the Insane Asylum Is the
best one for the new building. In this
for the Insane Asylum. Several sites
have been discussed. but no definite
conclusion has been arrived at. A
complete set of new buildings are re.
quired for the care OF the insane. This
item is urgent
Il have also inserted an item for the
Repair of the Present Oahu Jail Con.
ditions prevailing there at present re-
quire immediate relief. This should
be undertaken without waiting for the
construction of a new penitentiary."
In conclusion the Superintendent OF
Public Works refers to paving Homo
lulu streets with some substantial ma
Iterial, which he considers to be a nee
essity. THE present macadamizet
roads do not stand the heavy traffic,
Mr.. Cooper says. This matter has re
ceiyed the careful consideration of thu
engineers of the department and thu
Supervisor of Honolulu, and believe
II TO be the consensus OF opinion. aftel
consultation with the practical men Ol
the town, that the waterfront stree.
should be paved with stone blocks, sci
upon a concrete foundation, with Q
sand cushion. believe It would bC
folly to lay these blocks unless in the
most approved and substantial man
ner. Bituminous rock believe to b'
a very suitable material for streets
having less of the heavy wear and tear
for. constructed in a substantial man
ner, II makes a very durable and SAM
tary pavement. | think this item Il
one of the most important asked for
for the city OF Honolulu.
