PLANNING To
SAVE WATER
Holloway Hopes to Give
Honolulu a Gravity
System.

The new Kalihi reservoid back of Ka-
mehameha school will be completed, i;
is estimated by the Department of Pub
lie Works, by the middle of January 1t
will have capacity of about three mil
lions of gallons
This reservoir will provide re-
serve supply of water for the Kallhi
and Palama Districts" said Superin-
tendent of Public Works Holloway 1T
will be supplied by the King street
pumping station and will be filed with
water every night and thus will insure
a supply to the people in that part of
the city at all times. AS matters stand
now after we shut down the pumps the
people can get no water until they start
up again at 6 o'clock in the morning
We shut down the King street pump.
as rule, at p. m. To be sure we
try to keep up the supply from the
Beretania street pump, but there has
been some difficulty in doing this here
tofore and hence the plan for building
the new reservoir
What we really need is a gravity
system. AS we have planned for this
there can be enough water stored in
Nuuanu and Kalihi valleys to supply
Honolulu and carry the city through
any ordinary season of drought. We
have hope, moreover, that we viii be
permitted to go ahead with this gravity
system after the Legislature meets 1t
is a most important matter. as you can
see, for a good water supply means not
only that the health of the citizens viii
be conserved but also that the city
beautiful will be attained.
THE gravity system. as we have
planned it, calls for the conservation
IF the Nuuanu and Kalihi waters. We
nave prepared the plans for an immense
stora ge reservoir in the Nuuanu val
ey to hold 100000 900 gallons of water
N the first place. You see that IS a
pretty good reserve supply. This res
arvoid will be at an altitude of 500 /
feet above sea level. giving plenty of
tall to supplw the city by gravity.
Then we would have q smaller res |
,rvoir, although at a greater altitude /
n the Kalihi valley. And we figure that /
" a system of tunnels this source OF /
upply could be made to yield great /
leal more water than comes from the /
alley now. This reservoir would be a
considera bly, greater altitude than the
ne in Nuuanu'
As a matter of fact. what with the
ainfan on the island and the under
low, there is really no reason why
Icnolulu should not have a gravity
gater system that would be a long wy
mead OF the present pumping system

manner of the government of Japan.
And as there were no more quallIieo
vannr men TO put in charge of the
schools the work of teaching has been
taken upon themselves by the women.
e.rrhe effect has been remarkable, not

you are making a good investment.

with such success that this company is
now patronized by more people who are
