RECEIVES
IDEASFORNEW
Swimming slip

Several suggestions Of interest re-
garding the construction OF swim
ming slip adjacent 70 the proposed
wharf az Pier 3, Honolulu harbor,
were contained in Q letter from Col
Robert r. Raymond, corps OF engt
neers, presented this afternoon to the
harbor board. The letter Is in an
swer to one from the board and 10 a.
follows:
With regard to your preliminary
plan for the new pier and swimming
slip. there are q few points that are
thought to merit careful considera.
tom In the first place q course to
provide 100 yards must be of slightly
greater length than 100 yards In order
to permit the use Of the necessary
starting and turning points.
The slip as planned will be i'm
possible to keep free from sand. There
is a" movement of sand along the
shore from the waikiki side of the
harbor entrance which has shoaled
the dredged basin under and around
the boathouse and wharf at Pier 1. A
slip dredged as shown by your plan
would certainly be obliterated by this
sand movement unless you construct
under the south end Of the wharf q,
solid curtain wall from the sea wan
to the harbor line to intercept the
sand.
Il believe this curtain wall should
be built. It need not be very massive.
Il suggest that you omit the wall
and fill shown on your plan between
the swimming slip and the harbor line
and construct all this part Of the new
wharf on concrete piles so as to ex.
pose the whole slip to the free action
of the tides. This would probably
be cheaper than the wall and fia
shown. .
Under the main part Of the wharf
the large fiji would Justify the con-
struction Of the containing wall, but
I think the small fill just mentioned
would not"
