FOR NUUANU WATER

breed disease

chased. He wanted the Islands to be
the Paradise of the Pacific" In reality, |
as well as in name.

ready to make. Senator Kalauokalani |
objected to the report, and said 1t |

couldn't be brought in while the SUBJ
ject was under debate. -
Senator 1senberg rose to point Of |
privilege, and said that he had never
to this day received notice from the

that he had known nothing .
