EDITOR GAzETTE:-I see by the report of the par
lIamentary proceedings that the Appropriation
Bill proposed by the present Ministry while max
ing liberal allowances for expenditures in other
directions asks for 5000 less for education than
was voted for the last biennial period This is a
step backward, at a time when every. available
means should be used, every possible effort made,
for the progressive development of the resources
and capabilities of this Kingdom. Where and
what is the necessity for any snch backward step!
Parsimony is not economy. Large expenditures
may not be extravagant expenditures: but rather

people of other lands to come and make their

1t is only apathetic indifference that can be con-

be improved and better furnished. New rooms
should be built, sufficient for the accommodation

wages, and what is more important than higher
salaries, should be held strictly accountable

Tomorrow the Fair will open; it promises to be
thoroughly excellent in all particulars. The most
experienced of our ladies and gentlemen have been
engaged in organizing it, and every detail has been
carefully attended to. The pretty girls of Homo
lulu will appear in varied costumes they will sell
flowers, ice creams, fancy goods and what-not and
our blooming matrons will be there to assist in the
heavier labors. Both H. NJ. Queen Kapiolani and
II. NJ. Queen Emma are deeply interested in this
fair and will attend to fancy tables and it can be
said that all the ladies in town are more or less
engaged in and have helped towards the Fair,
which assures it to be grand success. The en-
trance to the Fair for both afternoon and evening,
the Fair being closed from $50 to o'clock-will
be fifty cents for adults and % cents for children
On Friday and Saturday the Fair will be revived
under form of very attractive and varied amuse-
ments, the admittance to which will be 10 cents
for adults and % cents for children. Season tick
cts at the reduced price of Sl50 are now for sale
at Thrum's Fort street,, Lycan's, A. l.. Smiths

To HIS ErceHeFey Charles T. Grliek, Minister Of

SIE; In obedience to your instructions l have
made preliminary examinations of the most eligi-
bic sites for storage reservoirs.
do not undertake to indicate at this time the
location most advantageous in other respects, but
l may say that, although find no records of OBJ
servations in the first named, there is no doubt
annual rainfall is great enough to furnish such an
amount Of water that the portion which can be
collected at any of the examined sites would be
more than sufficient for the probable future needs
of the city. To retain this will require the con-
struction of an earth masonry dam Of large
dimensions. Considerations of real economy as
well asdue regard for the safety Of private pro-
Perty lying below any site that may be selected,
demand that this structure should be of the most
ials should be used and only the most perfect
mode of construction be permitted.
With these things in view have calculated APP
proximatey the cost of the most important part of
such work The character of the material upon
which it must be founded, and the depth at which
that material lies as yet unknown and the pro-
Rress of certain parts of the work may be slow.

work during the present fiscal period.
have not as yet made any study of the subject
of the artesian wells, and am of course unable to
express any opinion rs to the value of their source
as one of permanent supply; but if it shall be
found to present advantages above that derived
from storage the appropriation suggested would
be necessary to utilize it.
