PAIL BRIDGE
IS NOW UNSAFE
ACTION OF WEATHER HAS RUST
ED THE SUPPORTS AND HEAVY
TRAFFIC IS NOT ADVISABLE.

The expected report on the condition
of the Pail bridge, to which reference
was made in the Star yesterday, has
been filed with Governor Carter by
Superintendent Holloway. A thorough
investigation shows that the bridge is
i'm a state which renders it unsafe for
heavy traffic owing to the action of the
weather. 1t is recommended that tenn
porary braces be put i'm and that as
soon as possible the road be driven
through the rock wall so that the
bridge may be abandoned.
The report i'm full runs thus:
Hon. George r. Carter, Governor, Terri
tory of Hawaii, City.
Sir:-Some time ago, you asked me
to have an investigation made of the
bridge on the other side of the Nuuanu
Pail, and l have thought that possibly
you may be interested i'm reading a
portion of the report of Mr. Rowland
of the cond lions as found by Mr. c. H.
Smith, one of the engineers of the AS
sistant superintendent office. The
investigation was made on Saturday,
November 5th 1904
by the use of a swing over the outer
edge of the brige, the steel I-beams
could be examined. The rust was re-
moved from one of the 12-inch beams
and a hole drilled through the web
halfway between the flanges and the
thickness of same measured with the
results as shown on the sectional draw
ing on the accompany blue print. 1t
l,af oil I,.,f
were exposed were very badly rusted,
so that from 10 to 30 per cent of the
cross section was eaten away by at
mospheric action. At the connection
where the main beams are brought to-
gether and also where the smaller cross
floor beams join the main girders, the
metal work was i'm very bad condition,
with the exception of the bolts which
were in excellent condition due to the
fact that they were heavily coated with
| oil.
Assuming that the bridge was built
| according to the plan and making COM
putations for fiber stress the 15-inch
I-beam is subject to 47,4OO pounds to
! the square inch under the dead load
only, and that on the Pinch is 45,50C
pounds; these figures bring the dead
load fiber stress within a few thou
sand pounds of the ultimate strength
of steel rolled at the time this bridge
was erected. The condition of this
structure is such that II will be nee
l'essary to either build new structure
or better, In my opinion, to cut out an
additional width of roadway in the
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-11-18

solid rock, so that no structure is
necessary. Temporary repairs could be
made at this time by putting i'm wood
en- posts or columns in the proper places
and supporting the main steel cutters
concrete three-arch structure could
be built in place of this present one,
though l believe such structure would
cost just as much as the necessary eX-
cavation in solid rock to obtain a suffi-
cient width of roadway on the natural
ledge.
About one hundred feet from this
structure there is another of similar
type, though of only some % feet span
which should at some future time be
replaced by a concrete arch"
Mr.. Rowland and myself have thor
oughly discussed this matter, and both
agree with Mr.. Smith that it will be a
much more permanent job to make an
additional cut on the side hill so that
the entire roadway will be on a solid
footing. This will involve an expendi-
ture of possibly 9,OOO-although as soon
as l have had an estimate made of
the total yardage, / will be i'm a bet
ter position to figure on the expense.
For the present I have decided to have
wooden uprights placed under the
beams where same are joined together
as shown on the blue print These
posts will be carried up from the solid
footing of rock about 40 feet below
the floor level of the bridge While I
do not believe that there is any imme-
date danger of the bridge giving way
most everyone crossing the Pail reports
that the structure does not look safe
and the uprights when placed i'm posi-
ton will make the bridge appear more
secure.
l should like if possible to ask the
next Legislature for a sufficient apprO-
priation to make the cut and do away
entirely with this bridge, also to build
in concrete arch as suggested by Mr..
Smith.
| beg to remain,

the front of the cold wave reaches the
Gulf of Mexico rain and snow are like
ly to occur and as soon as it reaches
the warm waters of the Gulf they are
certain to occur The atmosphere is so
mobile, or i'm other words, viscosity is
so small a factor, that slight gradients
of pressure not always recognizable
on our present meteorological maps
quickly set it i'm motion. The resist
ances introduced by the Irregularities
of the ground may require a slight ad-
ditional gradient to overcome them, but
i'm general way the progress of a cold
wave toward the Gulf of Mexico, like
the progress Of the great monsoon wind
from the southern Indian Ocean across
the equator to the shores of Hindostan,
is maintained by a slight gradient en-
tirely different from the steep gradients
that prevail within a whrlwind. There
fore it is that a fall of a tenth of an
inch in twenty-four hours is an impor-
tant matter and almost certainly a
forerunner of rain i'm India, the West
Indies, Honolulu, and the Philippines.
These all represent moist climates at

ed the fatal circle"
In speaking of the reasons assigned by
Senator Burton's counsel for the asSump-
on the ground that the money was sent
here in checks, and caShed here, the So
licitor general says:
The Technically of Cash of Checks.
But whatever may be said about the
place of payment of the checks as af-
fecting the Jurisdiction, there can be no
doubt about the cash having been paid IN
st. Louis.
THE case in no wise involves the con-
struction or application of the constitu-
ton or the conStitutionality of a law of
the United States court; the inquiry sole
~ relates to the proper Interpretation of

promptly and voluntarily did, his person.

in his brief:
He waived his privilege promptly, fully
and Indignantly. He went to st. Louis as
fast steam could carry him. The priv
ilege objection was never limited at dur
ing the trial, and was first raised by his
counsel on the motion in arrest of Judg-
ment. which the court overruled without
opinion

FIRE OARS
To Be Used on Elevated Railway in
Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-what is said to
be the first fire cars to be used by an
elevated railroad in this country have
been installed on the Metropolitan
elevated lines The cars correspond in
type to the regular chemical engine in
use in the city fire department. Four
of them are stationed at the terminals
of the four branches of the elevated
road.
In trial given in the presence of
members of the Chicago Fire Under
writer's association and the officials of
the elevated road company, the speed
and efficiency of the fire cars were
demonstrated. After a run of one
mile a fire was extin gufshed within six
minutes after the alarm was sounded.
The equipment of the fire cars con-
sists of two 10O-galIon tanks of chem
ical solution and two lines of hose,
each $50 feet long. In addition a res
ervoir containing 200 more gallons of
solution is carried on each car. Two
trained men compose the crew of each
car.
