WATER-GAIE FOR
HARBOR ISPLAN
OF DRYDOCk MAN
w. 7. DonneIIy Win Show Plans
and Drawings for Great
Waterfront Structure
BIG CENTRAL TERMINAL
is BASIS OF OUTLINE

A water gate for Oahu, to which all
liners will come alongside to discharge
passengers, and where swimming
events In future Carnivals may be
held, is the big project which viii be
presented to Honolulu civic and COM
mercial bodies this week by William
T. Donnelly. famous engineer, as a
civic ideal toward which this city may
strive.
Donnelly has had plans and draw
ings Of the big project made and will
show them to the organization inter-
ested this week A large drawing OF
the proposed water-gate has been
made by Architect Bloodgood futile
Of New York and is in Mr.. Donnelly's
possession, to be shown to the Out
door Circle Friday afternoon, when
the noted engineer, who built the In
ter-IsIand's floating drydock. and the
20.000-ton drydock at Prince Rupert
b. G., will outline his ideas of what
Honolulu needs.
AS conceived by Mr.. Donneily the
water.gate is a structure which will
do for Honolulu what the big union
terminals Of Chicago, New York and
other cities have done toward making
transportation better and safer there.
AS designed by the architect, Mr..
futile. the water-gate calls for a
structure 500 feet long and $50 wide,
built In q manner commensurate with
the city's future growth, stately, com.
modious and beautiful.
At the ocean end of the water-gate
the location for which has not been
decided, the plans call for steamers
to dock alongside and discharge pas
sengers. The plan is to have gang
way 20 feet wide or more, so that pas
sengers could land In a small part Of
the time now required. No freight
would be handled at the water-gate.
but the boats would go to the present
piers and wharves to take on and un-
load cargo.
The structure includes plans for a
great swimming pool. partly enclosed.
where aquatic events and swimming
races could be held. There are land
ings provided for pleasure craft,
spaces for bazaars. a band concert
pavilion and auditorium. rooms for
handling abggage and other facilities.

OFFER Plan TO
CUT ROAD COST

A radical change in the plans of the
road department. proposed by the city
engineer to allow for the cut of $4,000
in April, May and June appropriations,
will be submitted to the board of SUI
pervisors for its approval at tonight's
meeting.
Discussion of the mayors veto of
the ordinance creating superintend-
ent of parks will be another matter
that will occupy the attention of the
board. Technical mistakes in the
wording and the provision which
makes the superintendent report to
the park committee instead of the
board are the two reasons given by
the mayor for his veto.
Harry Murray, manager Of the water
works, has filed report with the
clerk on the cost of installing hydrants
and laterals on Kalakaua avenue be-
fore the permanent pavement is laid
and this will probably be brought be-
fore the board also. The report
recommends that an examination of
the joints in the water main be made
before the pavement is laid in order
to avoid possible future trouble. The
$3.50 expenditure for the MIGRANTS
and laterals is recommended to pro-
vide for the needs of the district after
the Waikiki reclamation to be made
by the territory is completed.
