BLAME:
Patterson Willing TO Be
Broke if Dam Be
Condemned.

The public was represe ented at the
Nuuanu dam investigation yesterday
by ex-Inspector Patterson. At least
Mr. Patterson was the only one to
respond to the general invitation ex-
tended to all kiekers to appear and
register their protests on the ground.
There were a few others on the work,
among them Jos. s. Emerson, c. E., and
DR.. Emerson, but these Were sightseers
only. The Department of Public Works
was represented by Assistant superin
tendent Rowland and c. H Smith, the
engineer on the work.
After al there was little examining
done. The pumps working on the ac-
cumulated water in the core wall trench
had made no showing whatever, the
water being at the same level as when
the work started. The heavy rains OF
the morning had been responsible for
some of this water and it has been ac-
knowledged by those on the job that it
will he at least Saturday before the
core wall viii be exposed sufficiently to
allow an examination of the bottom to
be made. The test pit over the mush
pile has also been given q couple more
days than was first stated
Expert Kellogg has asked that the
position of the pump at the trench be
changed, so as to hasten the work, and
the shifting of the machinery was COM
menced as soon as Mr.. Howland and
the contractors IS foreman could come to
terms, the latter wanting to know who
was going to pay for the extra work
before he would begin it.
PUTTING BLAME ON PATTERSON.

made yesterday there was a constant
exchange of remarks between Smith
and Patterson and once the ex-inspec-

This was said almost as soon as the
examination commenced The expert
was viewing a portion of the waste
pipe exposed by a trench. From the

that this was due to the butt joints in

SAN FRANcIsco's CHINATOWN

The people OF San Francisco have
begun to discover that Chinatown was
81 paying investment. The district
drew a trade of s30,0OO,O00 annually,
most of which came from tourists who
looked upon the quarter as a world s
curiosity. Hence it will be difficult
either to suppress Chinatown or to
improve it much. What the tourists
examined in open mouthed wonder
was chiefly it's dirt. To remove that
would remove prime cause of prof
liable curiosity. Altruism is not go
