PINKHAM PLANS
Continued from Page e.)

Sidewalks.
These have been suggested as six
feet in width. except eight feet at
lagoon side. They are suggested to be
constructed inches thick reinforced
with expanded metal.
Much OF their length and width
would be utilised for the top of the
conduits.
Storm Waters and Sewers.
These waters from the valleys would
be Intercepted and through the storm
d, AIMED into the lagoon as would also
the surface drainage. The storm sew
ers would be under the sidewalks as
shown in Profile ID"
Ordinary sewerage is provided for,
but its ultimate disposal does not re-
quire present solution.
Ratings.
FOR the protection OF the public. as
the waters Of the lagoon would be very
deep. a strong pipe railing has been
suggested.
Details Of Estimates.
While the whole plan is not exact
~ estimated. they are as closely figur-
cd out as time and means allow. The
plans themselves are only tentative.
However. by the lincal foot. the com.
plete block. or mile the estimates OF
quantities of material and work are
exact have also added estimates for
the Park and Channel divisions. only
emitting tide gates and bridges.
No cost prices for materials or labor
are given. Anyone interested can make
his own estimate. For my own salts
faction have in my possession a close
estimate Of the entire cost.
Lands Involved.
have n complete list OF owners,
areas, and assessed valuation OF all
the land involved.

the sanitary condition and sanitar!
prospects Of the low and swamp land
OF the Waikiki Districts II would hav'
been unwise to simply call attention
to individual pieces of property whel

every individual private interest.
This whole memorandum with II
exhibits can be considered as a sug
gestion only. II claims to be nothin
else.
Should the government under tll
pressure OF public opinion take sten
TO render these plans possible With
the coming decade. by taking steps not
to secure control of the lands, far NOR
perfect plans can be formed and pos
sible economies be thought out
A great opportunity for park exten

The only merit claimed as indispu.
able is the cndeavor To arouse our clti
zens to broad view of municipal al

ends with recommendation and pei
suasion.
