make any exception would simply in
volve having 1t pleaded as a precedent
by a numberless host of other build
crs. As a case in point he mentioned "A
building in Chinatown that was being
erected without permit, and fully
thirty Chinese thinking its plan had
heen approved by the authorities tried
to make It precedent for other
shacks.

Water for settlement.
l.. l.. McCandless, l.. L. Pinkham
and Plumbing Inspector Keen appear
ed to report as experts on the water
supply OF the settlement. Mr.. McCand-
less was the first speaker. He spoke to
The following effect:
In looking over the ground up
there | came to the conclusion that
you might get a pumping well. A flow
ing well Is absolutely out OF the ques-
ton. Our firm is out for business but
we do not wish to advise you people
excepting for the interests OF the set
Element. | think at sea level we could
get pumping well at depth of ITO
feet or perhaps little more. The
well would cost $1,000 and the machin-
cry $4,000 or $1,000 more. That would
mean that you would have continual
expense for fuel and men to run the
plant. You might get million gallons
every twenty-four hours. This would
probably be enough for twenty acres OF
taro, dcrending on the condition of the
ground. For instance. on this island
one and half million gallons will in
some cases irrigate 20 acres and in
Others 30 acres.
IF | were in your place | would not
go into artesian water at all, but
would develop the Waikolu valley
source where twelve or fifteen million
gallons are going to waste daily. The
cost would be greater in the first in
stance than for artesian water. but
when once installed the cost would be
trifling. Coming out of Waikolu val.
ley there is another valley opening to-
ward the Baldwin Home. 1t looks to
me that the intervening hill Is not
more than 200 or 800 feet through.
which could be tunneled. The first
thing that should be done is to send a
surveyor there. II tunneling Is not
found practicable then lay pipe line
down from Waikolu valley by the sea.
| would not interfere win the present
pipe line"
Mr.. Pinkham endorsed the opinions
OF Mr.. McCandless. II an artesian well
as to be adopted a gasoline engine
ought to serve the purpose. However,
he thought the development of the Wal
kolu water was the wiser plan. The
high mountains indicated large pre-
cipitation. The water running to
waste would not only supply the tara
patches but make a veritable garden
of the whole peninsula. 1t was simply
a matter of making a proper survey
and ascertaining the probable expense.
He certainly should recommend that a
survey be made before any other eX-
periments We're tried.
Mr. Keen corroborated the previous
speakers as to the waste of water at
Waikolu. 1t seemed to him with very
slight expense the probable supply
could be determined. The hill men,
toned was, however. more like 800 OF
$50 feet through than what Mr. Me-
Candless judged. He recommended q
survey.
DR.. Sloggett who had previously
thanked Mr.. McCandless for his very
clear report, proposed that cordial
vote of thanks should be rendered to
Messrs. McCandless and Pinkham foi
the kindness and care with which they
had given the benefit of their great
SKI, to the Board in this matter. Such
motion was accordingly moved, sec,
onded and carried.
