Entrance For Arrivals.
Il have brought with me to Honolu.
Ia aud desire to submit for the con.
sideration OF all those interested In
the development Of the city illustra-
tive drawings showing a water-gate or
marine terminal designed TO provide
suitable and proper entrance for all
passengers arrivingaby steamer.
The plan contemplates a pier 20b
feet in width by 800 feet in length
so located on the water front as to
make II readily possible for all enter
ing passenger steamers to touch at the
outer end or head of the pier and land
passengers and their baggage with
the least delay upon arriving, and
then to proceed to other piers for the
handling of cargo. touching again at
the passenger pier upon their way out.
Huge swimming Pool.
The pier IL also intended to pro.
vide q recreation center upon the wa
ter front IN the heart Of the city, and
the provision Of q swimming pool 100
feet In width by 400 feet in length
would make Il, suitable for the holding
OF Carnival events, the shore end OF
the swimming pool TO end In beach
which would be extended to form q
natural stare decorated with growing
palms and other tropical foliage Illus
trating the flora Of the Islands, the
background to terminate with the rep
resentation -uf volcano beAk.
sThe landing fron the steamer
would be under an arch 100 feet in
span at the head Of the pier at an ele-
walton OF approximately so feet above
the water, and the gallery or deck al
this level, so feet M width, would ex-
tend the entire length OF the building
on each side, with stairways to the
lower street level and 10 an upper gal
lery. These tnrovisions would make
possible seating capacity at Carnival
events for between 10000 and $4,000
