J 0- N.' Wilcox M ESTABLISHED 1904. YOL. 18. NO. 49. LIHUE, KAUAI, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1922 SUBSCRIPTION RATES, $2.50 PER YEAR 5 CENTS PER COPY beiil0iana. 5 t CONGRESS ASSURES LOCAL BREAKWATER NAWILIWILI PROJECT INCLUDED IN RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL 300 Thousand is Pledged GOVERNMENT MAY LET CON TRACT TO PRIVATE .FIRMS . FOR DREDGING Word was received from Wash- lngton yesterday by the Engineer ' Corps of the Hawaiian Department that the annual rivers and harbors LIU In coifgross will carry an ap propriation for $300,000 for Na 1 wlllwili breakwater. This appropriation should guaran tee tho completion of tho break water, but this amount will not guarantee the completion ct the project due to the fuct that fl.e dredging of tho harbor will be an expensive Item lit tho completion of the work. Six hundred feet of breai. water has been completed, leaving but 2000 feet more to be built. Tentative plans for the dredging call for the work to be let on con tract, and it Is possible that main land dredging companies that are planning to bid on the dredging of Honolulu harbor may also bid on the dredging at Nawlllwlll. These plans are only tentative and will depend on the results of the Hono lulu bidding. The pump- that is to be used in tho sluicing operations in the quar ry arrived last Saturday and Is now being set up. A few necessary fit tings have not yet arrived but it Is expected that the pump will be op erating In about two weeks. Tho news that the Nawlllwlll breakwater was included In the an nual appropriation for such a sub stantial sum caused a great deal of favorable comment around the island, although there was very little doubt locally about the in clusion of tho breakwater in the appropriations. Local legislators should bo urged by all the local civic bodies to have the board of public works make some decision in regard to tho bulk head line before dredging starts so that the dredged material can be used in filling m behind the bulk head lines. This will save tho ter Mjtory a great deal of expense when the construction of a wharf is started at Nawlllwlll.
