fired the fatal shots. One Of them
fired with twenty-five caliber re-

the crime might have been commit

true, but the officers have exhausted

KALIHI WATER SYSTEM
WILL BE COMPLETED

Service of water all over Kalihi will
be inaugurated within three months,
according to the plans which are now
being worked out by the Department
of Public Works. The first step was
taken when after some negotiations w.
C. Achi agreed to advance to the gov
ernment the sum of money necessary
for the putting down of the mains ma
kai of King street Now citizens maui
ka of King street and residing along the
streets between the Kalihi road and the
Gulick estate, are engaged in the sub
scription of a fund of $4,000 to permit
the water office to proceed at once with
the putting down of the mains needed
for their supply.
The bids for supplying the depart
ment with enough six inch water pipe
for these two extensions will be opened
September 18th, and there is allowed
two months for the shipping of the pipe
here after the award of the contract.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-09-04

Meanwhile all the surveys have been
made so that the bitches will be in
shape for the laying of the pipe at once,
and the turning in of the water within
few weeks. The only water pipes in
the Kalihi district are the lines along
King street to Kamehameha Fourth
road, and up that thoroughfare. and a
line of six and four inch pipe along
the Kaiihi road.
The new main makai of the King
, street line, which has been assumed
by the action of the owners of the
property, will be of six inch pipe and
will be laid along the new street which
divides the newly opened subdivision
which runs from the Kamehameha
school to the road to the leper station.
This runs to the beach and the pipe in
volved will be about 5000 feet Should
there be any cost in excess of the appro-
priation by the legislature for the SER
! vice sc, 600, the balance viii be paid by
the owner of the property, Achi.
On the mauka side of King street
there will be a series of the six inch
lines. These win be laid in place of the

present four inch pipes and also along
the newly opened cross streets which
are between the Kalihi road and the
Gulick property. AT the present time
there is much distress in this
vicinity owing to the absolute scarcity
of water. For some time past the peo-
pie have been drawing their water sup
ply from the ditch which passes through
that locality carrying stream of water
from the upper valley to the river. Fur
ther use of this water has been pro-
hibited, the fear being that the source of
the stream has been polluted from the
houses along it. In the meantime the
people are compelled to carry their sup
ply of water from some one of the taps
along the King street line or from Ka-
1ihi road This is a hardship but it is
lightened somewhat by the action of
Supt Brown of the water department
in not insisting upon the rules as to
others using the water from any tap
opening.
For some time the people of the dis
trict back from King and between the
boundaries mentioned have been trying
to persuade the government to permit
them to lay a three inch main along
the principal street Of the district. but
as this would be practically throwing
money away, even If it might be raised,
the government has not given its con-
sent but will now move to place the
pipe for which $4,000 was appropriated
by the legislature.

AGAINST WATER COMPANIES.
Supreme Court of United states Rem
ders Decisions Affecting FreepOrt,
DanviIIe and Rogers Park, Ill.

Washington, March 26.-In the
United States supreme court Monday
opinions were handed down in sew
eral cases involving the construction
of the state law of Illinois authoriz-
ing cities and villages to contract for
water and waterworks. The eases
decided affect the water systems of
Freeport, Danville and Rogers Park,
in that state The water companies
in each case contended that the law
of 1872 and other subsequent acts
authorizing town and city authorities
to contract for water supply for 80
years included the right TO fix rates
fcy that time and that the rate once
fixeh could not be changed. They ar
gued that ordinances fixing rates
were in the nature of contracts for
the term of so years. In the case of
the Freeport company the rate of
SIS for each fire hydrant was first
fixed by ordinance, but it was re-
duced by a subsequent ordinance to
$50. The water company attacked
the validity of this ordinance and
TOOK the case INTO the Sldtt Coui ~.
The Illinois supreme court decided
against the company, holding the or
dinance reducing the price of water
to be valid. Mondays opinion sus-
tanned the finding of the state court.
Justice McKenna. in handing down
the opinion. said the state statues
were ambiguous, but that it had been
thought advisable to decide that am
biguity in the interest of the public.
A dissenting opinion was handed
down by Justice White, on the ground
that the first ordinance was a con-
tract. In this dissenting opinion
Justices Brewer. Brown and White
concurred The opinions in all the
other cases were on similar lines.
