THE GOVERNOR CHOOSES
KELLOGG'S TYPE Of DAM
vii! Involve $4,000 Increased Cost---Beleve d
the People viii Approve Choice for Greater
Safety-.-No Censure Implied.

Governor Carter has given his deci-
of adopting Expert Kellogg's recon-
mendations in their entirety. This
means a dam of different type from
the one the Public Works Department
mated excess of $4,000 in cost.
There is no condemnation of the
plans and specifications of the con-
struction that is recommended to be
discarded. 1t is a standard type-a
good type-the Governor admits, but
KeIlogg's is more modern and safer
type. He therefore takes it that the
people Will prefer spending more money
for greater safety.
For between two and three days the
Governor had carefully studied the re-
port of Assistant Superintendent How
land to superintendent of Public Works
Holloway. made at the Iatter's request
upon the findings and advice of Mr.
Kellogg. He consulted with Mr.. Hol-
loway the while. Then he arrived at
his decision.
Governor Carter yesterday thought it
best not to have Mr.. HOwlands report
published. He did not regard it at all
as an answer to Mr.. Kellogg, but
merely a requested report from the
deputy to the chief as a basis of exec
utive elaboration. In other words, the
Rowland report is merely a piece of
nter-departmental routine.
Publication of his letter of recon-
mendation OF the Kellogg type of dam
to the Superintendent of Public Works
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-08-23

tho Governor regarded as complying,
AT least for the present. with every
legitimate demand of publicity. With
ont saving SO in exact terms the Cover
nor as good as intimated that his decl-
sion implied no censure of the Pubic
Works Department or any Official
thereof but was merely choice be-
tween the kind of dam being con-
structed and the kind that Mr.. Kellogg
advised would better be constructed.
In this connection it has been pointed
out. on behalf of the department. that
a portion of the fault that Mr. Kellogg
found with specific details of work,
apart from the question Of type of dam,
referred to portions of the structure
which had not yet been accepted from
the contractor at the time of the eX-
pert's examination. Mr.. Kellogg's re-
port indeed had a reference to depart
mental instructions not carried out, his
criticism in this regard being leveled
at the specifications for their lack or
provisions to enforce them.
Here is the Goernor's letter to the
superintendent of Public Works:
THE GOVERNOR IS LETTER.
August %, 1906.
G.. s Holloway, Esq, Superintendent
of Public Works, Territory of Ha-
wall
Dear Sir: After consultation with
YOU and careful examination of Elk
pert Kellogg's recommendation IN
connection with the Nuuanu dam, as
well as the report made by Mr.. How
land. the engineer of your department,
which explains the changes, it is clear
that Mr.. Kellogg's recommendations
contemplate a structure under an en-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-08-23

tlrely different theory from that which
we had originally adopted. I can per
haps test express myself in this man
ner; That Walker s plan is the East
ern method of an earth dam. one in
when the structure Is impervious to
water and IN which the line OF satura-
ton falls well within the toe of the
lower or outer earth slope. with am
pie eoefheient of safety throughout:
while Kellogg recommends the more
modern Western method. of a sun
porting stone or rock fill on the outer
or lower wall. into which seepage, if
any, Is induced.
Undoubtedly your statement is cor
rect, that a safe structure can be built
under either system, and YOU desire in
struetIons as to which plan the admin
istration should follow
Under all the circumstances. / am
inclined to believe that the stone fIl
making ample provision for seepage. is
the better plan, in view of the loca-
ton and conditions of this particular
project. l believe the public will be
better satisfied if all of Mr.. Kellogg s
recommendations are followed, and
that the taxpayers and legislators will
be willing to provide the additional
$4,000 or more of increased cost that
the changes contemplate.
Our error has probably been an
over-zealous endeavor to keep down
the cost, while the public is evidently
of the opinion that we have not given
sufficient consideration to safety and
that the cost is not to be weighed as
against the danger.
Therefore, let us accept the change
in the theory of construction. adopt the
suggestions of Mr.. Kellogg and carry
them out in good spirit.
Very sincerely yours,
(Sgd.) G. r. CARTER,
Governor.

TESTIMONIAL COMMITTEE.

L
Following, the testimonial committee,
of which Mr.. Griffiths is chairman,
made a report, stating that sum of
money, although yet small, had been
collected, and that more was expected.
This fund Will go toward a purse to be
presented to several persons who as
sisted in landing the passengers. Mr..
Griffiths asked the press to state that
this fund would be kept open for addi-
tions at the Office of the Young hotel,
and contributions could go to Mr.. Buck,
| through the clerk at the office.
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
AS for the conference committee of
which Governor General Smith is chair
man, a report was submitted verbally
by General Smith He stated that a
conference had been held with the Pa
cific Mail people during the day. 1t was
ascertained that there. were twentyfour
full rooms on the Hongkong Maru which
would accommodate forty-eight people.
Some of the rooms could hold three
persons. On the Korea there would be
room for not more than seventy-fve and
possibly only sixty-fve.
1t was ascertained from Purser Bios
som of the Manchuria, who was present,
that there were 1877 through passengers
from the Manchuria awaiting to go for
ward to the Orient. The two vessels
could accommodate about $50 people.
General and Mrs. Smith may go on the
Logan today, and possibly there may
be two or three others to relieve the
situation in that way.
There was some discussion as to APP
portloning passengers to the two yes
sells. 1t was suggested possibly that
priority of booking on the Manchurla
originally might obtain in the present
case.
The question of Shanghai-bound pas
sengers going forward on the Hongkong
Maru, which does not call at Shanghai
this trip, but goes to Manila after leav-
ing Yokohama, being sent direct from
Yokohama to Shanghai on other ships,
caused a long discussion and some APP
prehension. Inquiry was made of a
clerk from Hackfeld IS steamship de-
partment as to this matter. He replied
that that matter had been placed be-
fore Mr. Pfotenhauer, but until cable
advices are received from San Francis
co, no reply could be given. That reply
may come today. 1t is an all important
one to the passengers.
Then a gentleman arose and asked
if the conference committee could not
take up a very important question
which had been under discussion by
some of the passengers. There was
mail for them coming on the next two
Orient bound steamers and addressed to
them at Yokohama, Shanghai and other
Far Eastern places They asked if this
mail could not be stopped here and de
hvered to the parties addressed? The
matter was referred to the conference
committee.
Previous to converting the "survi-
vors'' sat for group photograph on
the roof garden of the Young hotel.
DR.. Day presided at the ".eeting with
DR.. Hinckley as secretary. The next
meeting will be at the call of the chair.
