dressed the Board by letter as fol-
lows:
II beg to call the attention OF the
honorable Board Of Health to the ne
cessity of requiring more sewer con-
nections upon the line OF the sewer at
the Waikiki end Of King street. parti-
cularly that part beyond Piikoi street.
as the odor coming from the manholes
at this point is very strong to one pass
ing along the street. This Is due to
two causes, lack Of ventilation and lack
Of amount of sewage. both due to an
insufficient number OF house connec-
lions to houses In this vicinity.
Our sewers are designed to be ven
tilated through the finch vents run
up on the outside OF the various houses
and unless we get this ventilation
there is no way to keep the smell from
the streets. While the sewers are pro-
vided with automatic flushing tanks
