THE KEWALO DITCH
BUT PART OF
GENERAL CITY DRAINAGE
Ecrybody donn Kewalo way does
not undcistnml the sclcnco ot tin
drainage ditch lately completed
through that suburb. At least one ol
the suburbanites there domiciled, with
al a. man of considerable practical
knowledge regarding useful works, has
Imparted his dlsapproal of the ditch
to th. llullctln. He docs not see how
It will drain the soil through Its solid
walls of cement and he considers Its
width makes too great a chasm upon
olllclnl cognizance. ct Its ditch Is but
part of a general scheme of city drain

question, upon which they based an In

The Kewalo ditch had to be con
structed to conform with the topogra
phy of the area to be drained and to
correspond with the mean tide lcel.
So flat Is the Kewalo moiasi that the
3300 feet In length of the ditch could
be given a gradient of but one foot. Its
bottom was made one foot above mean
tide level, otherwise at high tide it
would flood the area Instead of fuelng

area ot 43 acres ot Btccp watershed
will be drained by this section of drain
