LkHA|NA'S WATER
Supply inadequate for
Local Demands.
Report of Agent A. N. Hayseloen to
the Board of Health Referred
to the Executive.

At the meeting of the Board of
Health yesterday the following report
from Alfred y. Hayselden, deputy
sheriff and agent of the board at La
haina, was read:
In regard to Mr.. Reynolds report
of the undesirable condition of the wa
ter supply Of this town, | beg to say
that that view is correct. The supply
of Lahaina is generally from wells of
surface water at a depth of from eight
to ten feet. Water closets are dug to
about the same depth and have flow
of water into them-perhapS tapping
the same flow as the well does, and,
more often than not, at not q great
distance away. This it is reasonable
to suppose Will lead, if it has not al
ready done SO, to contamination OF
the whole supply of surface water. 1t
is a matter of time only when, if ty-
phoid or some other epidemic gains a
hold here, that Lahaina will prove an
unhealthy place to live in. The crying
need OF this town is a water system,
and the natural facilities are so great
that the expense would prove compar-
atively light 1 would submit that the
board can conscientiously recommend
as an urgent need the establishing of
a waterWorks system for Lahaina.
Such system, properly conducted,
would be rate-paying and a source Of
revenue in a short while.
With water system Lahaina sani-
tary matters would be of the very best
at present the very worst.
Il have conferred with DR.. Wetzel,
agent of the board, and others promi-
nent in public matters here and each
and every one endorse the above sug-
gestions.
Upon the suggestion of the Attorney
General the matter was referred to
him to be brought to the notice of the
Executive Council at its next meeting.
