! Mtlioiise Tower.
C. H. KLUEGEL JOHH OUDERKIRK
! )
They Say It Is all Right-Legislative
Committee Condemned lt-RIder
on an Expense Item.
A good many of the hours of the
Senate during the last session of the
last Legislature were used in discus
sion on the new Diamond Head light
house. There was strenuously urged
the contention that Mr. Howell, Sup
erintendent of Public Works, had
raised up for the support of the light
a nimsv suiuLuiv Lint. wi"" ''l'l"-
over at the first heavy wind. It was
solemnly assorted taut the trame or
tower as placed was wholly insuffici
ent for strength. Some of the re
marks were quite warm and with one
man particularly the condemnation of
Mr. Rowell was frequent and strong
as expression oi nu'i uimnuu en
the tower. This tower, by the way, is
the same as used for lighthouses every
where. There are scores of just the
same kind precisely on the Atlantic
coast. Framework of iron or steel is
preferred over the masonry foundation.
Stone foundation are being replaced
on the New England coast by the metal
towers, yet a few of the Senators and
a number of the Representatives were
confident that Mr. Rowell had made a
mistake. After many speeches had
been made in the Senate a committee
was appointed. It made a solemn and
formal report. Following is a copy of
the serious document:
The item in line 45 is the estimated
n mount needed to complete the Dia
mond Head lighthouse, including the
installation -of the lectric light for
same. ,?
Your committer have personally in
spected' said"nev light house 'now be
ing constructed, and consulted mrter
.nt - authorities regarding the strength
and stability of the structure, which is
all of iron above the concrete founda
tion and is simply four 4-inch galvan
ized iron pipes, in 20-foot lengths,
f'A Til tho n-iTk-in,? to thn lierht house
proper -in .eet. It i. suitably bracet
and abov- this is the superstructure
with the lights, 20 feet high. The iron
of :he supports is 1-4 inch thick, which
i-s cut hv the thread in each ot the
joints at least half of its thickness,
leaving 1-S inch in thickness at each
joint, which would appear to be a
weak point in the same.
It may, however, be strong enough
to support the 15-tons weight of the
superstructure and stormy gales while
it is fresh and new, but it is in a po
sition constantly exposed to the salt
spray of the sea, which will sooner or
later cut the weak joints of the iron
with rust and endanger the safety of
the structure with final collapse of the
supports.
On general principles a lighthouse
should be a permanent institution that
can be relied upon, with its light al
ways on hand, especially in stormy
weather. To accomplish this, it should
be constructed in the most substantial
manner and not in a way to do service
for two. three, five or even ten years
and then be missing, having collapsed
or toppled over.
The lighthouse now being construct
ed can be made substantial and as per
manent as possible by building up a
good substantial stone and cement
tower from the ground up to the super
structure and securely fastening the
upper structure to the stonework. It
would then be doubly strong, and
when the iron pillars become weak
from rust the stone tower will, con
tinue to hold all firmly in its place.
This will require an addition to the
original appropriation, which was
$10,000. There has already been ex
pended for the foundation and tower,
tools, etc.. $1,S24.29; for the lantern.
$.3,:G1.00, total, $7,350.19; and we are
now asked to reappropriate from the
unexpended balance to complete the
construction and put in electric lights
$1,000. which will make the total cost
sAmMO. To build up a substantial
sfnno tiwvov .-m si j irtrest ed above would
require, say $2.."0t additional, or ab:ut
?i ihio ho-iiiip imhouiU already ex
pended.
It seems at first sight as if this is a
large amount to expend in addition to
the present outlay on this structure,
but if we consider for a moment it .is
only a drop in the bucket when com
pared with the loss of any one of the
) a rare steamers now coming to this
port, as a result of the collapse of the
now Diamond Head Lighthouse.
We cannot afford to run any chances
in such a matter an 1 rely upon a cheap,
temporary structure, when we can
have something permanent. Your com
mittee, therefore, recommend that in
addition to the $1,."00 asked, the sum
f s .".no be nnnronriated to build a
substantial stone tower
for sai-. light-
house, to be completed before
:ie sup-
erstructure is finished.

Sir: At the request o: Mr. Rowell,

have examined the ugat house tower at

The examination was more particu-

The first signature on the report
that of the chief engineer of the Oahu
?nilwav & Land Coaioany. Mr. Klue-
el has been here many years as head
of the survey and c .vastniction depart
ments of the railway. He left a firs'
class place in the United States to set
tle in the Islands. Upon his judgment
;md knowledge the Railway and other
r-munanies in the country have invest
ed in the aggregate millions of dollars
rind Mr. K liiegal's refutation in his
msiness is the highest. John Ouder
kirk is a contractor, bunder and build-
ins: superintendent in business here
for many years and he has been men
tioned as a candidate for the office
of Superintendnet of Public Works by
riends at various times, taough ne lias
not personally, so rar as may ue
known, been in any way an applicant
for the place. Mr. Ouderkirk has put
up wharves here and some of the best
lmildings. He is established as one
whose word in the matter of the char
acter of a structure of any sort is about
final.
The Cabinet has before it now the
renort of the Senate committee, the
appropriation item with the rider, and
the report' of two capable and trust
worthy experts and the fact that the
light house plant, excepting the ma
sonrv which the Legislators wanted.
