Honolulu, June II, 1894.
Ials Excellency J. A. KING, Minister of
Interior.
SIR:-As directed by Your Fxcellency
/, accompanied by the Superintendent
of Public Works, have made an exam
ination with the view of obtaining a
supply cf water for the residents Of Ka-
lihi and the Kaluaopalena lots. 1t is
impossible to obtain supply OF water
for Kalihi on an appropriation oil $4,000,
as it would cost that amount for well
and pump alone, and at the present
time there is no pipe OH hand. To bore
a well at the insane Asylum premises
and carry the water to Kalihi or a well
bored in the neighborhood of Walters |
Brewery and have the water brought to-
wards Palama, would cost about $35 coo. |
1t is the intention OF the Government |
TO lay laryer mains on King street to |
Walters Brewery, and | would recon-
mend that arrangements be ma e with |
the Trustees of the Kamehameha Schools |
to continue to supply the eleven privl-
leges for another year when the large |
main will be laid
Respectfully submitted,
