SUPERVISORS HAVE
hnICABlE MEETING

The Mayor and Board of Supervisors
held another fifteen minute session yes,
terday afternoon and will meet for
another deliberative few minutes at 10
this morning. The utmost harmony
prevailed yesterday and there was no
check TO any of the business brought
up.
This consisted in the report of the
special committee looking into the
matter of leasing the second floor of
the Mcintyre building and a communi-
cation from the City Attorney regard
ing the request for railway right
of-wav along Saratoga avenue from the
tracks of the Rapid Transit Company
on Kalakaua avenue. The attorney
accompanied his communication with
an amended resolution granting the
righto f-way, which was introduced by
Quinn.
The Office lease has been secured for
two years at $3.50 month, with the
right of subletting any offices not re-
CURED.
The resolution granting the right-of.
way for military railroad line into
the Waikiki reservation was signed bv
Quinn, and that was sufficient. Kane
and Aylett, however, failed to see why
their signatures should not also go on
the document, especially as it is to be
printed in the papers. They therefore
gravely signed, although told by Mil.
verton that their signatures were I'M
necessary, however beautiful. Cannv
Logan, with an eye to the pence, wills
pered hoarsely to the Clerk not to have
the names go into the paper, as each
line costs ten cents. The resolution
passed without opposition.
Cox was the only absent member.

WASHINGTON, December 2s.-The
Bureau Of Yards and Docks has :. stoned
up - the contract for dredging the chan
mel to Pearl Harbor and there is every
expectation that the work Will he nnder
way within two or three weeks. For
the Hawaiian Dredging Company. the
papers were signed by President Dem
ison and Treasurer Dillingham;. For the
Government, Acting Secretary of the
Navy Satterlee signed.
The company has two dredges in Ho-
nolulu harbor now, which can be set to
work Immediately. Some cabling has
been done to secure other dredces that
there may be just as little delay as DOS
slble in beginning the work on a large
scale. The contract calls for the com
pletion of the work in three wears. The
amount of material to be exeayated is
5,017, 900 cubic wards.

ed that the velocity of water being
pumped will be sufficient to remoy1

b. The system of castiron hoxes
with slots and longitudinal floor drains
will also be used for filing the dock.
-Four filing culveTts, two on each side
of the drydoek, having inlets in the
quay wall at the entrance of the dock
are connected with the longitudinal
drains IN the inner and outer docks in
such manner that either dock NAV

thus an upward velocity on entering
and being uniformly distributed over
the entire floor This IS much s,,pe
raof to having the water enter at the
ends or sides with velocity sufficient
TO cause harmful movements of the
ship.
Sixteen Flights of Stairs.
Sixteen flights of stairs extend
from the coping to the floor. This
number is liberal in order that the
WorSmen may enter and leave the drv.
dock with expedition. An idea of the
depth of the dock is gained from the
fact that it viii take sixty-five steps
to go from the floor to the COPING.
The stairways have been so designed
that the affairs are not interrupted but
pass around the stairs with SLIGHTLY
reduced width. The design is similar
to that previously used in drydock No.
at Philadelphia

extending from the entrance to the
head Of the drydock These are for
the purpose Of carrying the weight of |
the ship when the dock is pumped. |
Two lines Of docking keel blocks will |
extend on either side of these to take |
the weight of turrets, etc, of battle |
ships.
-. The pump well will be located |
near the middle of the dock and about |
thirty feet away. It will be of octag- |
onal shape and contain four 54-inch /
pumps. In addition to the four sue
ton pipes which lead to the wet cham

cubic yards of material. This will be |
utilized in filing some of the low |

total amount of conefste to be used

Level and Clear Floor.

%. A marked improvement over
all previous docks has been developed
IN connection with the dock for Pearl
Harbor, IN that the working floor will
be absolutely level from end to end
giving a level working surface, free
from the usual distractions. such as
bflge block slides, docking keel block
bearers, bilge block chains, temporary
electric wires, temporary compressed
air lines, etc. The attempt has been
made many times previously TO accom-.
plish this object. but never with sue.
cess. 1t has been accomplished in this
case by an entirely new design for
bilge block bearers and docking keel
block bearers. The bearers are made
in the shape of castiron boxes en-
hedded in the dock floor with top
flush with the concrete. The wide
fanges on the top form the bearers for
the keel blocks and bilge blocks and a
slot is provided through the top of the
box to take the anchor bolts for keel
blocks and the holding down device for
the bilge blocks. The castiron box is
large enough also to take the chains
for the hauling of bilge blocks across
the floor of the dock while shin is
being placed. Another most important
function of the castiron boxes is to
drain the floor The water passes
through the slots and flows along the
sloping bottom of the boxes and is
discharged into four large longitudinal
subfioor drains. These, in turn, carry
the water into the drainage chambers
near the middle Of the dock The
inner dock and outer dock each have
an Independent system of longitudinal
drains and drainage chamber. Three
o4-inch pipes with gate valves pass
from each drainage chamber into a
common wet chamber outside of the
| drvdoek structure. The four 54-inch

WARRANTS FOR
BOTH FACTIONS
Auditor BickneII Issues Orders
to Settle the March
Claims.

Final settlement of the claims of the
two factions of the road department of
the City and County of Honolulu, each
of which factions "worked' from
March l to March Is, were settled yes
terday when Auditor Bicknell passed
out the individual warrants to the
claimants in accordance with the com
promise effected by the Mayor and
members of the Board of Supervisors.
The amounts paid were over $4,000,
and will clear up the muddle which was
the outgrowth of the determination of
the Board of Supervisors to resist the
Mayor S right of appointment of road
supervisor, and the right of the latter
official to select the men who would
build roads, clean streets, look after the
sewers, collect garbage, and otherwise
make Honolulu more attractive.
The division of pay allowance for
this half month of March was made on
the basis of two-thirds and one-third
the short end going to Cnmmins and his
men, Some of the employees made OBJ
lection to this method, one instance be
ing R. Kinney, who was given five days
pay, the total being $12. He. looked al

of the warrant sheet, which said in eff

ably needed the money more than ht
did, and walked out, leaving his war
