KAn1Hps wATsn SYSTEM.

A correspondent has written The
INDEPENDENT complaining of the
action of the Superintendent OF the
Honolulu Water Works in having
a elk inch water main laid through
the Kapiolani tract, owned by
Senator Achi, as is now being done,
to the detriment of the residents OF
Kalihi, living mauka of the main
government road, as we'll as OF those
living at the Kaiulani tract, also
owned by the same Senator. The
complaint seems to be q good and
just one, in that there are more
people residing on the mauka part
Of that suburb than there are on
the more recent suburb makai lately
opened up to the public for resi-
dence purposes.

European shipOwners to rool

LONDON, Jan. 2l-The Express as
serts that at an important meeting
of transs lautic shipowners held 10
London to day all owners of vessels
plying between Great Britain and
America were invited to join pool.
The Express names thirty lines con-
cerned 10 the combination II adds
that one difficulty prevents an i'm
mediate settlement OF the deal, viz,
the obstinacy Of one small company,
which refuses to join. two owners in
Glasgow aud Liverpool making
their adhesion dependent upon this
oompaoys scquiescence.
Some OF the larger owners declare
that i.s presence is not essential and
the difficulty will perhaps be re-
moyed by its absorption. The pa
per adds that the German, Freucb,
Netherlands and Scandinavian lines
are excluded from the pool. This
story is not confirmed from any
other source.

Upon inquiry at public headquar-
ters, The INDEPENDENT was informed
that he proposed to the Government
to raise the money for the pipes now
being laid at low rate of interest
until such time that the Govern
ment was able to refund the same,
but In the meantime the Govern
ment raised sufficient money and
paid for the pipes without the neces-
sity OF borrowing upon the Senator
,epeculator. And that what is now
being'done, is being done upon the
Senator's Representa- atone, but never

would personally see that water was
laid into the tract, even if he had to
purchase the pipes himself. Now,

Having a personal knowledge OF
the lay OF the land in the sections
in question, and being quite fami.
liar with the real estate broker OF
both OF these tracts, we we're at
frst under the, impression that the
funds we're being mieapplied and
that the work now in progress was
being done for the especial benefit
and advantage OF the broker in
question, Senator Aehi. When first
informed, we immediately took it
for granted that the government
had gone into the real estate broker,
age business. Nevertheless, we deem,
it to be quite favorable to tho
Senator'S land speculation, for in
having there pipes laid it enhances
the value of his lots aud would no
doubt be a good pointer in making
easy and profitable sales.

The residents Of Kalihi as we'll as
OF the Kaiulaui tract made similar
complaint, almost as identical,
through the medium of these
columns, and The INDEPENDENT drew
the attentiohdof the authorities to
an alarming stats OF affairs, where
the Board of Health had interfered
and prevented the people from
using the water in the stream,
either for bathing or washing, a
right that had been enjoyed there
from time, immemorial. In the
making OF the prevention, no rem
edy was supplied in place, only
that the water should not be pollut-
ed, but must only be used for drink
ing. Fear OF baoill aud microbe
breeding was no doubt the cause OF
this prohibition, prevention pro-
badly being the main object, unless
the health authorities expected that
he people would haysto do their
washing in okolehao.

Furthermore, the work is neces.

doubt pay a good and handsome in
terest upon the investment. And
we feel that it is more OF a necessity
to the mauka part to have pipes
laid as soon as it can possibly be,
aud that it will recoup the Govern
ment as well, if not more, lss the
other investment. But as to the
