.LE|LEHUA POST
MAY Be RUSHED

Within month work may be com.
menced on the great brigade post at
Leilehua, the immediate plans calling
cavalry section, for which an outlay
of about $650,000 is necessary.
Information to this effect was re-
ceived yesterday from Washington and
the work once commenced will be car
ried on vigorously. The complete plan
calls also for artillery and other sec
tions devoted to the purposes of signal
corps and engineer detachments. The
entire work is estimated to cost about
$2,500,000.
The constructing quartermaster' de-
partment at Washington was pleased

ment at Leilehua, for it is known there
that he labored under unusual difficult
ties 1t is said that Captain CastneP
recently sent photographs of the camp
to Washington, writing that although
the buildings were supposed to be roof
less, yet the photographs show them
with roofs on. This is explained by
the fact that the roofing material did
not arrive and the captain had to make
temporary arrangements. That import
ant lot of material is supposed to be
aboard the freighter Mexican due to-
day from San Francisco.
The brigade post will form one of
the most important of the military
works planned for Oahu, for it is to
be ample for at least 5000 men, com.
prising a full regiment of cavalry, a
full regiment of field artillery and de-
taehments of signal corps and engineer
troops.
The commencement of work on the
permanent post entails the employment
of a very large number of men. Three
hundred men were at work, at one time,
on the temporary camp, and for the
permanent post at least twice that num-
Der may be kept employed for long
period.
The buildings will be constructed
mainly of concrete, erected in new
way. The frames for the sides of the
buildings will be laid out on the ground
and the concrete will be poured in the
open box frames as if sidewalk or
flooring was being laid. When cooled
the entire section will be raised into
position. This will enable the work
men to construct buildings much quick.
er than by the old method of raising
concrete walls.
In the matter of sand it is said that
the Washington officials are not quite
certain whether Hawaiian sand will
meet the, conditions believing it to
be little too fine. This fine sand is
mostly an Oahu product, but it is said
that sand from Hawaii island is coarser
and may be better adapted for concrete
mixing.

cerning the present condition of the
city s water system. He stated that
there are miles of rotten pipe in the
present mains, pipe that may burst at
any time, while this is laid in so
patchy a way that the greater part of
the power developed at the various
pumping stations had to be used to
overcome the friction in driving the
water through the pipes, leaving much
less than half the power to actually
pump up the water.
What Mr.. Campbell desires to do, in
brief, is to install pumping plant to
be driven by power developed from the
Nuuanu reservoir water to pump ar
tesian water only into the city mains.
The Nuuanu water after being used
for pumping power can be used further
down the valley for power to develop
electricity for much needed street light.

flush the Nuuanu stream through the
city. To install such plant would
require $14S,000, which would include
the cost of driving three new artesiar
wells and constructing new reservoirs

would require ,$350,000.
Mr.. Campbell acknowledged the big
ness of these amounts, but explained
that il his department were given th
