Governor Frear came next sketch.
/ inl tho history of the conservation
movement in Hawaii I'm leading mp
to me statement already quoted. he
mentioned that Honolulu was really
ana artificial city, having been made
/ what &c is. I'm the tropical beauty that
strangers praise, altogether by recla-
nation Within his own memory the
| city plat was an arid waste. Water
had created it's present tropical SPLEEN
! dor Among other interesting state
ments the governor mentioned a pro.
I iect that has been mooted TO carry
water from Hilo to Kau district
through a cement-lined ditch ninety
miles in length.
Narston Campbell, superintendent
of Public Works, gave a clear word
picture Of Honoluu's water supply
This had been developed according to
/ the growth of the city. Il would
have been foolish for those who start
ed the system in the city's infancy
three-quarters of a century ago to plan
for 10000 population. Today there
were visible resources of water for
100000 people, but money was needed
for suitable pipes to deliver the wa
ter Touching on Nuuanu dam he said
that since January / the city had
drawn three million gallons a day from
the big reservoir, but yet at the pre-
sent time it contained three hundred
and fifty million gallons. Honolulu
was saving $1,000 a month on the cost
of street-lighting from the power sup
Piled which was four per cent on the
cost, being more than the interest on
the bonded Indebtedness on account Of
the work There was power avail
able front that source to pump an ex
clusivey artesian water supply for
household use, which would give Ho-
nolulu the purest water supply among
all the cities of the world.
A. c. Lewerenz, the navy engineer
in charge of the work at Pearl Har-
for, explained that a navy yard was
not in the category of Notifications
Wherever practicable a navy yard was
located far enough inland to be out Of
range Of bombardment from the sea-
| This not being the situation of Pearl
Harbor navy yard forts were being
provided to protect It, 1t would CON
tain all sorts of workshops needed for
repairing ships, together with a dry
dock and marine railway. The yard
would probably not be a great repair
station like that Of New York, but
its equipment would be sufficient to
permit Of expansion Of capacity to
meet almost amy emergency.
