month, but no excessive floods occurred. Large floods occurred 

 on Oahu, Maui and Hawaii, and on Hawaii considerable damage 

 was done by high winds and floods. 



Special Reports. 



A special report relative to the amounts diverted under each 

 territorial land lease and water license on East Maui, was pre- 

 pared and furnished the Governor of Hawaii, at his request. 

 The data contained therein are to be used in determining the 

 rentals to be assessed under these leases and licenses in the future. 

 Copies of this report are attached hereto. 



From November 17 to 20 was spent on the island of Kauai 

 inspecting new construction work and gathering records and evi- 

 dence as to the mean daily and annual flow of ditches diverting- 

 territorial waters from the Waimea, Anahola, Kapaa and North 

 Wailua rivers. 



' These records are now being analyzed and computed and, when 

 in proper form, will be incorporated in a report to the governor 

 to assist him and the commissioner of lands in determining the 

 future water values of these streams. 



One copy each of the topographic maps of Kauai and Oahu 

 has been colored to show information relative to military reserves, 

 hydrographic data, homesteads, forest reserves, etc., at the re- 

 quest of the governor. One copy of the map of, Oahu has also 

 been similarly prepared for the Division of Forestry. 



New Construction. 



Kauai. Very little was accomplished during the month on 

 account of high water in the streams which prevented all excava- 

 tion work. 



Oahu. Two new reinforced concrete weirs were established 

 on the upper reaches of the middle and east branches of the Ma- 

 laekahana streams near Kahuku. These stations will measure the 

 flood flow of these streams in connection with a possible billion- 

 gallon storage project near Kahuku. These weirs will replace 

 those originally established at the expense of the Kahuku planta- 

 tion in 1914, which were damaged by heavy floods. The planta- 

 tion paid about one-half of the cost of the new construction 

 work. 



Routine Operation- and Maintenance JVork. 



Kauai. No trail repair work was possible on account of steady 

 rains. 



D. E. Horner and the Japanese laborer who were injured on 

 October 2(S returned to work on November 10 and 12. 



Twenty stream and ditch measurements were made and 20
