A matter which has already received
by Assistant Superin-
endent of Public Works Campbell, |
wish to call to the notice of the board. |
About $50 feet Waikiki of Piikoi street, |
nauka of Wilder avenue, is a pond
which is a menace to the health of
he people in the community, and
should be condemned. Originally in
vet weather stream flowed through
his pond down across Wilder avenue,
,ut when the Public Works Depart
nent filed Wilder avenue at this point,
10 culvert was left and later the
owners below filed the dry
,ed of the stream. The result, of
curse, was that a pond was formed,
md while the Makiki ditch was in
ended to carry away the water, 1t
vas constructed so that water did not
low through, but stayed at the Eva
nd. Mr.. Campbell, assistant superin-
endent of Public Works, has men fix
ng the ditch, and said that the pond
would also be filed, but so far moth
ng has been done to abate the null
ance. Respectfully,
C. II. TRACY,
City Sanitary officer.
