The Senate took up the Loan Bill
yesterday afternoon in Committee Of
the whole. superintendent of Pub
lie Works Holloway was called He
said that Schuyler's report was of
great value. lie figured the reservoir
would be worth 100000 to the
Territory. In view of the great rev.
cnue derived from the Honolulu wa
terworks. he thought the money nee
ded TO complete the dam should be
appropriated.
HOLLOWAY EXPLAINS ITEM
Holloway then went on to explain
the Items of the bill which had been
cut out by the Senate. He said that
the items of $4,000 for improve
ments to Nuuanu reservoir No. |,
$4,000 for new reservoir at Ka-
imuki. $4,000 for extensions to cast
iron mains, 100000 for a distribute
ing system for upper Kalihi, were
all desirable but not necessary.
The item of $4,000 for the installa-
lion of fuel oil for the Kalihi and
Kaimuki pumps would mean a saving
of 80 per cent. for the Territory on
it's fuel. The $500 for the Waimea
water works. he said. would benefit
homesteaders, who should be served.

Hewitt and Coelho made few ia
oetious remarks regarding the seem
ing Partially for Honolulu In the
bill.
II will say" answered Holloway,
that I am partially responsible for
this bill. II contains recommended
tons which, according to my honest
convictions. will best serve the needs
Ct the Territory, without regard to
which Islands they come on"
MONEY FOR WHARVES

for the Alakca wharf shed, he said

portant one In the bill after the
Nuuanu dam. The items of $4,000
for retaining wall around Wharf
No. and of $4,000 for dredging
the remainder of the Kilauea slip. rs
well as the other Honolulu wharf
items. could wait until the next ses-

plete the whole thing" asked Smith.

Would II be possible to build the
dam for sl33.OOO II the old contract
was cancelled and new bids were
called?" asked Chillingworth.
Il could not say: our estimates are
sometimes exceeded. I consider that
now all the hard work has been
done"
SLUICING CHEAPER
III the present filling OF the dam
had been sluiced It would have been
cheaper than the method used, would
II mote" asked Dowsett.
well, you could not very well
sluice near the road and sluicing
could not be employed In the toe.
Some people seem to think that the
I erritory is paying for the replacing
of the part of the core-wall which
was destroyed. This is not so. Tho
contractor is paying for that"
