ROWLAND TESTIFIES.

ROWLAND TESTIFIES.
j. II. Rowland, assistant superinten-
dent of Public Works. was called. The
second set of specifications had been
drawn up by him. AS to calling for
% gauge instead of "a. he said he found
% marked on the original plans for
the Brewer wharf It was a better
roofing as shown in the Odd Fellows
building. The "A gauge on many roofs
of the wharf sheds was torn and dis
torted. Traphagen had called for %
gauge for the Odd Fellows building.
He said he was the best architect in
Honolulu Traphagen had also speci-
fed y gauge for the electric station in
Nuuanu valley.
Mr.. Thurston thought that Mr. Ira
phagen should testify personally, as
Mr.. Rowland was testifying to what
he had heard from Mr.. Traphagen.
Mr.. Prosser said this was the first
time any one had objected to hearsay
testimony.
Mr.. Thurston said he could not cross
examine Mr.. Rowland on the subject
matter but he could Mr.. Traphagen.
You can impeach Mr.. Howland's
veracity if you want to- said Mr.. Pros
ser
We don't want to impeach anybody"
replied Mr. Thurston, 1--WE only want
Mr.. Traphagen to state what he knows,
and what Mr.. Rowland says he heard
from Mr.. Traphagen.
AS to piles. Mr.. Rowland said an ex-
animation of the old outer piles show
ed them to be defective where eighteen
ounce had been used. The records in
his office showed that the Naval docks
had twenty ounce copper.

Mr.. Rowland considered bitumen on
plank wharves to be improper AS to
poor quality of lumber in various

that air and mold had worked consid-
cradle damage. He would rot accept

Mr.. Smith said he had been in the
lumber business for fifty years. He
was asked by Holloway what he would
accept in "a cargo of lumber as No
L merchantable? He replied that
everything not specified select would
not be called .'merchanta BILE
You would not accept sticks so feet
long as 81 feet?" asked the Superin-
tendent.
No; what do YOU want to ask me
that question for?"
IF a man asked you for selected
what would you give him?''
THE best we had at the best price
OF course 1 know who I am dealing
with. Selected amt proper term. It
should be clear or 'merchantable'
When a man. asks me for good lumber
I give him understandable. There is
no clear or selected it's No. l.

humorist and turned the laugh fire.
