PUBLIC ROADS

In January 18th, to Goth, incln-
sive, there will be held at Bowling
Green, KY, a meeting of the Coun-
ty Road Engineers. This is the first
time such meeting has been held
in Western Kentucky and advantage
is taken of the fact that all dele
gates will be given a free trip. They
will also have an opportunity to in
spect the excellent roads in Warren
and adjacent counties and espec-
tally the old state pike which was
built some seventy-fve years ago.
The railroad companies through
out the state have kindly agreed to
give reduced rates to the meeting,
such to be in effect from the 10th,
to the 10Th, and good until the 21st,
and the Attorney General of Ken
lucky has ruled that Fiscal Court
has legal right to appropriate
money to pay the entire expenses
of the court in attending the meet
ing.
The program has been arranged
so that only practical problems will
be discussed. One-half day being
given over entirely to the County
Judges of the State, and owing to
the fact that the meeting is being
held at time of the year when no
road work is being done, there is no
reason why at least two or three
thousand people should not be in
attendance.
1t is known fact that Conven-
tons of this kind are necessary in
order that work may be done more
efficiently. Bankers, Railroad men,
Newspaper men, Travelling men all
have such meetings where they dis
cuss their particular line Of bust
ness and it is absolutely necessary
for the good of both counties and
state that the meetings be well at
tended .py the various Fiscal Courts.
If each of us knew what all of
us know think how much good all
of us could do, Some men have
ideas that are helpful to others and
this is chance to get together
with mempers of the State Depart
ment, County Officials, Contractors
and relate actual experiences con-
corning road work. All efforts are
being made to make the meeting the
biggest, best and most important
road meeting ever held in Kentucky.
The people of county should in
sist that their Fiscal Court attend
the meeting especially inasmuch as
it is recommended by both the State
Department and the Attorney Gem
eral and when it is a known fact
that by so doing they viii become
more proficient in the handling of
road matters in their county. The
expenses incurred by such a trip
are most trivial compared to the
great benefits received, and not only
should Fiscal Courts attend but cit
liens interested in road building
should be there as well.

. The city Of Hon olulu "a years age
Tor prior to 1859 jecured its water sup
ply, Of 5000, 900 gallons normal daily de-
livery. by gravity from reservoirs in
Nuuanu valley and from ArtesiaH
wells in various sections OF the city.
During 1893 the first pumping plant
used in the service was installed in
Makiki. This was a steam plant which
On test delivered 100000 gallons in
"a hours.
- During the drought Of 1894 the Ma
kiki pump was put into steady service
and SO well did il tide the city over
its dry season that II was accepted
that proof enough had been given that
pumping was the best way Of meeting
the discomforts OF a possible water
famine in the future.
Pumping Plant Started
Steps we're at once taken to arrange
for the installation OF a pumping-plant
that would deliN at least 3,OO0,OOU
gallons daily,
The site finally chosen was on the
corner Of Beretauia and Alapai streets
The contract for sinking two. 10 inch
artesian wells at this place was award
ed to McCandless Bros. The Homo
lulu Iron Works Company was award
cd the contract for erecting the pump
ing 2lant.e 81
A reservoir connected with the
pumping plant was also erected on
the slope OF Punchbowl hin near the
line of Aiapai street.
All the above improvements were
completed during the year 1895. The
Beretania station pump rated at 2,4O0,-
600 gallons delivered over 5000, 600
gallons daily against head OF 16O
feet .~...E... s.
In 1898, 10 years ago, the water sys-
tenn in Honolulu covered only the area
known az Nuuanu valley, Punchbowl
district, the Central part Of Honolulu
between LilIha and Punahou streets
and School street and the waterfront
single line also extending out Wal.
kihi around Kapiolani park and anoth-
CT line extending along King street to-
wards Kalihi.
The Hawaiian islands were annexed
10 the United States in 1898, but the
Territorial Laws did not go into effect
until 1900. The office o. Public Works
AZ this time. became q department OF
government, and an assistant superin-
tendent was appointed The Bureau Of
Water Works had grown to such an
extent that II required full staff Of
assistants to carry out its various
lines Of work. s
n 1900 the Kalihi Pumping Plant
was instalied. This pump delivered
100000 gallons in "a hours against
head Of 200 feet.

ment completed the Diamond Head

fire occurred in the Chinese section
and had II not been for the good water
system at that time the entire city
would have been IN danger.
From the year 1900 the expansion OF
the City Of Honolulu was brought
prominently to notice. The Kaimuki
tract was opened ~, and for its water
supply two aTtesian wells were sunk,
and a pumping plant with a capacity
Of 5000, 900 gallons daily was installed
on Kapahulu road near Waialae road
The water was pumped to a reservoir
built on an elevation near Telegraph
hill. The Palolo Land Company
whose lands were adjacent to the Kaf
muh tract, arranged to get water
from this pumping unit
College hills, in Manoa valley, was
divided into building lots, and obtained
its water supply from the Oahu College
artesian we'll
An electric road was built up Pacific
Heights and property opened for the
home seeker. The water supply for
these residents was taken from Pauoa
valley and piped to a reservoir on the
Heights. All Of these enterprises. with
their provision for water supply, were
at first carried on by private capital,
but later the government took over the
Kaimuki Pumping Plant, and arranged
to supply College Hills with water from
Makiki valley.
In 1904 a contract was let for the
Kalihi reservoir and the Diamont.
Head reservoir &as connected to the
Kaimuki Pump, increasing the eff
cheney of the water supply at Waikiki.
Nuuanu Valley Reservoir Begun
Among the recommendation made
during this period were the construc'
tion Of Reservoir No. 4, in upper Nuu-
anu, and q sanitary control Of the
water supply, which necessitated a
periodical analysis and examination OF
drinking waters.
In 1905 work was started on the
Nuuanu No 4 reservoir and the Kalihi
reservoir was completed. This reser.
voir not only greatly increased the
Palama and Kalihi supply, but afforded
better service to the high buildings In
the business section.
The Maiiki dam was begun in Sep
TENDER, 1906. This dam forms q
reservoir of about 100000 gallons ca.
pacity.
In 1906 the Water Works office re-
commended the installation Of the
high lift pump belonging to the gov
eminent then lying in storage at the
Honolulu Iron Works Company. The
,sl.., go. a., ,,lonn ~ An fha vocanf
lot adjoining tie Beretania street
station. This recommendation, how.
ever, was not carried out until the
year 1910. During this year, two IL
inch wells were successfully drilled,
and the high lift pump Of 100000
gallons daily was put In operation.
This gave the city an additional sup
ply which could be distributed to the
high, as well as the low level service.

Even in the face Of the world war
customs receipts for the district of
Hawaii probably will be as much If
not slightly ahead of those for the
preceding fiscal year.
On June l, for the first eleven
months of the fiscal year from July
/, 1916, to June 80, 1917, total re-
ceipts we're ahead of the total for the
first II months of the preceding year.
The first of this month the total
was $1,089,471. On June l, 1915, IL
was $1,041,4 18.72. Thus the present
year, with only % days to go, on that
day, was $4S,052.2S ahead Of the fiscal
II months Of 1856.
Total customs receipts for the pc
riod from July l, 1915, to June 81,
1916, were $1,161, 051.12. From this
the local customs officials believe
that when all the figures are in. about
the first or second week in July. the
present fiscal year will be found to
have exceeded that of the preceding
12-month period by some thousands,
in view of the fact that on the first
of this month it was $4,000 ahead
Of the total at that time last year.
For the last five years, receipts Of
the customs district of Hawaii have
been as follows: 1915 Fiscal year,,
$1,161, o5112; 1916, $1,o19,5S463; 1914,
s1,1s4,416.12; 1913, $1,S69,513.s9; 1919,
sI,643,19T37. -.
Although the detailed figures for
this year are not yet available, it is
believed they will compare faVorably
with last years, in the amount and
value Of domestic exports by articles.
Last year the total exports, to the
United States and foreign ports, were
as follows: Sugar (rawJ, 1,110,134,528
pounds; value, $52,507 ,295. For 1915,
the total sugar export was 1858, $685.
612 pounds, valued at $51 1868, 1896. OF
refined sugar there were shipped last
year 27,o3S, 700 pounds, valued at ST.
s02, 800, against 27,24S,S23 pounds,
worth $1,584,104, for 1915.

Daring 1911 the old reservoir at
Kalmukf was abandoied and a neS
concrete reservoir constructed IN its
place. This reservoir. capacity $780,
900 gallons, was built at q cost Of
$4,000.
b The College Hills district has FIRE
quently been troubled by turbid sur
face water. which mixed with the
clear Makiki spring water. To obviate
this, an electric pump was installed
at the Makiki Pumping station. by
which arrangement the artesian water
pumped into Mahih reservoir by the
Beretania Pump and from the Makiki
well by the old pump. was distributed
TO the College Hills district, so augu-
menting the spring water supply, and
eliminating the Objectionable surface
water
increased Building NecesSttates
More Water
The increased amount of building
during 1912 and 1919 in the Punahou
and College Hills district and the
kaimuki district necessitated an in
creased water supply. To supply the
additional water for these districts
one electric unit Of 100000 gallons
delivery was installed near the Mar
CUES property, Punahou, and another
electric unit Of equal capacity at the
Kaimuki station.
The Palolo hill concrete reservoir
capacity $4,000 gallons and the
Rocky hill reservoir capacity 725, O09
(to supply the lower College Hills
section) were constructed in 1918 and
1914.
During 1915 the electric unit in
stalled at Kaimuki was transferred
to the Punahou station, and a 5000,
900 gallons steam plant, a duplicate o.
the original plant at this station. was
purchased and installed. The original
pump now supplies the Kaimuki sec.
ton and the new installation supplies
the Waikiki section.
Some Present Requirements
The department requires a new
steam pump for Makiki station, an
electric unit for Makiki station, a
reservoir in Makiki Heights and ons
on the slope of Puncabowl for the
high lift pump. This additional
equipment with the ordinary repairs
to our present plant will take care
Of considerable increase in the popu-
lation Of Honolulu.
The delivery of water is our biggest
obstacle many of the present mains
being too small to supply the demand.
These mains must be replaced with
the larger trunk lines to improve the
service, or to allow for further ex.
tension OF the water system of Homo.
lulu.
Some Facts Of Progress
To show the rapid increase in the
business Of the water department q
comparison is made of the following
facts.

The collections made for one year
091O were Sal ,973.4S; the collec.
lions made in 1916 were $207, 1888
An Increase in business in 6 years
time Of practically $65,ooe.0o a year.
The water pipe In service; Including
all sizes, in 1910 was Is miles and in
1916 the pipe in service was 12S miles,
an increase of 81 miles. -. -
