FILTERS.

The report of the execu-
cutive officer of the Board of
Health relative to the condi-
ton of the Nuuanu reservoirs
is suggestive of something
dangerous to health. 1t also
suggests filters. good filters,

Ily separate the water from
mud and filth.
Nature has done much
toward providing the people
with necessaries; it has also
done a little toward securing

some localities a filter is a
luxury, in others, Honolulu
for instance, it is a necessity,
but the natural filters that are
sold have been much i'm
proved by ingenuity of man.

In view of the foregoing quotations il
does not seem probable that any ma
terial reduction can be made at present
in the interest on the London loan. II
you propose to borrow f85 against your
f100 bonds, you may we'll expect to re-
duce your interest, but you will increase
your debt. The London debt is now ST.
100000 and the annual interest $50 ,000
If you could pay all this off at par
and issue new bonds at IS, with 21s per
cent commission, as proposed, the new
bonds would amount to $1,200,000, and
the annual interest at Az per cent.
would be $54,OO in the interest on a
add $4,000 and a long term of years
to your debt for the sake of possible
saving of $4,000 in the interest on a
debt which we have the option of pay
ing off almost Immediately?
If the Hawaiian loan is quoted ar f103
it is because investors do not care to
pay more. Our true policy is to show in
vestors that it is worth more. A safe
plan would be to authorize the Minister
of Finance to issue bonds at per cent.

Give Hawaiian capitalists an opportu-

opportunity, and when the London
Stock Exchange found that the Ha-
waiian per cent. bonds were being
quietly called in, they would soon be
ready to take up new loan at less
rate, and with no discount.
The most disquieting feature of The
subject is indicated by the words you
used In your article of the goth inst,
and by some of the opinions which you
quoted on the next day You wrote:
we still believe that Minister Da-
mon made mistake in matters of de-
tail connected with drafting the bills.
What of it if there was a mistake
made in drafting the bills? Is that
any reason why the people of the coun

for two years?" And today Won ouote

do not say, and do not know, that
the Minister of Finance made any such
mistakes as you allege; but venture tn

IN which grave financial problems
should be discussed. In a matter of

the people should wait for two wears

til they had before them a bill which in
IT'S details as we'll as in it's general
principles had the confidence of the

There are many other points which

appear to me TO be deserving OF much
consideration before we invite the crltl-
cism of either the New YORK or the
London Stock Exchange upon our finan-
cial forecast. Another two years will
be of great service IN making our po-

Opinion of Theo. H. Davies on
Funding Bill.
COMPARISON OF QUOTATIONS.
Lower Interest Means Less Dein6hu'
F1shmarket Opinions-Doesn't want
RiIl to be Tinkered ''-Wait Two
Years For a Better scheme.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The subject OF the
Funding. BilI' is deserving OF more
serious discussion than it can possibly
receive by the presentation OF house-to-
house or ofice-to-office opinion. 1t re-
ouires the best thought of the best or
der of statesmen.
The consensus of opinion is strongly
in favor of borrowing money at per
cent. in order to pay off that which has
heen borrowed at per cent. It was
hardly necessary to go up and down the
town to get such proposition en-
dorsed. 1 fancy even the fish market
would have voted solid for such a pro-
posal.
The problem is a much more serious
one, and it's serious features are those
which should be made most prominent
in the discussion.
Hawaii wants to reduce the interest
on 100000 and to borrow another
S1,Oo0,O00. Ordinary men of business,
with memories as long as mine, will
recognize tue pOSlIlOu, duu VIII lChCA-
Der that the two transactions do not
always run well together. A funding
loan pure and simple is a mark of conf
dence-even if it be only self-confi-
dence-but funding loan with fresh
debt tackled on to it is always regarded
with a certain amount of suspicion.
think it will be better to discuss the
two objects separately, and l will, on
this occasion, confne my remarks to
the proposed loan for the reduction of
interest.
Very few government loans pay as
much as per cent, and those loans
are quoted higher or lower according
to the greater or less credit given to
the respective governments which issue
them. For instance
