MAUI July 3o.-The famous lao
Valley water question is again attract
ing public attention on Maui since the
recent reopening of the matter by the
Supreme Court. The three-cornered
legal battle, as is well-known, has been
between the Wailuku Sugar Co., the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Co. and
Walluku natives who are owners of ku-
leanas. The aforementioned have re-
Gently been raising a fund to engage the
services of w. A. Kinney and the other
attorneys of the WaiIuku Sugar Co. to
appear for them when the case comes up
again for trial This action unites the
interests of the Wailuku natives and
the Wailuku Sugar Co. as against the
H. c. & S. Co.
The legal struggle concerning lao wa
ter has extended over many years and
has often been surrounded by much mys-
ferrous technicality. The last decision
(Which is now to be re-opened) as to
the apportionment of the valley water
was as follows:
The Wailuku Sugar Co. to have the
water in day time every day excepting
Sundays; the owners of kuleanas in
night time, and the H. c. & S. Co., dur
ing Sundays only. The reason that the
sugar plantation was allowed the use of
the water day-times was that Waikiki
roc tad a.
ment for SO many years that at last it
had become a right The only two own
ers who had opposed the taking of the
water by the plantation were w H.
Daniels and E. H. Bailey and conse-
quently they were excepted from the
ruling and were the only ones allowed
the use of their share of water both day
and night.
The principal and most important
point now at issue Gas stated by prom
inent WaiIuku citizen) is concerning
freshets: to whom does the freshet or
surplus water belong.
The H. c. & S. Co. claim such water
as the representatives of the konohiki or
king; the Waikiki Sugar Co. and ma
tives say that to take away the freshet
water will deprive them of most of it,
for usually the valley stream, subsidies
runs lower and lower for several days,
and then comes a mountain rain causing
a sudden rise or freshet This is the
usual and natural order of events in ahe
