.HITEHOUSE
AND THE
NUUANU DAM

There cannot be too much examin-
alton of the plans and construction of
the Nuuanu dam and reservoir to suit
me-" said L. M. Whitehouse, the con-
structor of that work. "Since the be-
ginning of the work / have cordially
invited everybody at all interested in
it to go up and look at it. l have tax
en- a great many people up there myself
to enable them to look at it and see
what is being done. 1t is an important
public work and the more of the public
that actually know about 1t from see
ing it, the better l like it,
''The work is not being done for a
lump contract price, but on the basis
of units At the time the specifications
were drawn and the contract let, it was
not known absolutely how much of the
several kinds of work involved would
he required Hence the contract was
let on the basis of a fixed price for
units of the several kinds of work-so
much for each cubic yard of eXcava-
tion, so much for each thousand feet Of
lumber, so much for each unit OF con-
crete work. The amount of each kind
of work depends on what the cOndi-
tions, as they are developed in the pro-
gress of the work require. The amount
is determined by the engineer for
Public Works.
The engineer i'm determining these
matters as the work progresses, is
guided by the general plans and re-
quirements for this work, based on the
particular conditions as he finds them.
In this, of course, there is always room
for difference of opinion.
Il have not always approved feat
