LOW LANDS IN CITY.

Attention is called once more TO the
low lands and the rice and taro fields in
the city limits, by the forming of a
plan for filing up all these low places.
Whatever the merits of the method, the
thing to be accomplished is the matter
of Importance to the people of this
community.
Valuable the land is of a certainty.
and that there will be period when
some of it will not be remunerative I'M
der new conditions is true. That an
immense impetus will be given to home
building in the region close to the BUSH
ness portion of the city, is sure, and
thus in a short time there will be re
turns which will make the filing OF all
this low land first class business prop
osition. Traversed by a rapid transit
road it viii offer advantages for homes
men of small means, who wish to be
not too far from the business portion
of the city
Another consideration there is too, in
that without these swamps there would
be a very different condition as to mos
quitoes and malaria in the city An
estimate of the number of mosquitoes
which are brought into being daily in
the swamps between King street and
the sea, would run into such figures as
to be unintelligible from very magni-
tude. 1t is sufficient to know that there
are too many and that with the prin-
cipal source of their Matching cut off
there would be fewer. It is just as safe
to say that there would be a much diff
ferent condition of the health of the
community if there were no ponds in
that section.
With these lands filled and streets
laid out through them. there would be
afforded homes for hundreds of the
people who now reside in cramped quar-
tiers. Between King street and the
Ocean road, there Is an acreage which
would afford homes for at least a quar-
ter of the citizenship of the city. Once
let this territory be filed in and the
land opened for this use, there will be
found many of the inhabitants of pres
ent close quarters in the center of the
city, who will seek freedom and sea
breezes along the shores. 1t will mean
more for the Honolulu of the future. as
1T is hoped that city will be, than any
other single feature

to be one involving the carriage of this.
water The engineers who talked of
high suspension of pipes in the trans
portation of water from the high table
lands across deep gulches, should see
lin the carrying of water from grades
high up the canyon, a feat of less
hazard, owing to the fact that there is
always a hill side against which the
lines might be anchored.
It would be an inestimable boon for
the plantations if there could be found
means of getting water upon the lands
of the Hamakua district. On both sides
of it are streams which have sufficient
capacity to prevent the lands from be-
coming parched and dry. Either from
the Idilo district or from the Waipio
and its adjacent territory there might
easily come enough water to prevent
reenactment of the scenes of this past
summer. The inquiry of the Bishop
Estate will tend to make this end more
easy of attainment and any responsible
company which wants to invest in the
mere matter of supplying water to the
users on the high lands, may have
chance of bidding, if the reports prove
to be correct.

CHANCE TO DEVELOP sWATER.

There is no reason why If the propos-
ed syndicate which was after a license
to develop water rights in the Kohala
and Hamakua districts really wants to
get into the irrigation business, that
1t should delay until Congress acts
upon land laws. The fact that there
is tremendous supply of water in the
Waipio gulch. that it has great fall,
and also that the Bishop Estate would
rather license a company to develop it
than do the work direct. should engage
the attention of the monied men of the
syndicate. II might not appeal to pro-
motors with so much force.
The estimate of the amount OF water
in the Waipio gulch is without doubt a
conservative one, as there j. no record
that there ever was a season when the
stream in the gulch was not fairly fun
This being the case the problem seems

painfully eager to have the fight

that If the Attorney General comes to

dared to discuss the specific instances.
