An effort is being made to adjust
amicably the Waikiki water dispute
between Chinese rice planters on the
one hand and duck and fish <raisers and
banana and vegetable growers on the
other. r. w. Breckons represents the
plaintiffs and yesterday had a confer
ence with Lorrin Andrews, who has
Vim. S. Fleming associated with him
for the defendants.
In the meantime an answer to the
petition for an injunction had been
filed. The suit is by Leong Sau and
Others against Leong Pung and 9TH
ers. There are 81 plaintiffs comprising
two partnerships and two persons I'M
attached, and nine defendants of whom
seven are in a partnership. Defend
ants In their answer make\ the follow
ing statements:
The defendants in the partnership
of Kwong Chong Yuen Co. are engaged
in the business of raising ducks and
fishes and also bananas and vegetables
on premises in Waikiki, and the de-
PENDANTS Goo Pang and Pang Sang are
in the business of raising fishes and
ducks on premises regularly leased to
them in Waikiki.
1t Is admitted that a certain water
course known as the Piinaio stream
runs and for more than twenty years
past has run in a southerly direction
toward the sea, that In it's course the
stream passes through the premises OF
each of the defendants, and that the
fall Of the stream is very slight.
The dams used by. the defendants
have been in existence for more than
sixteen years for the purpose Of drain
ing and flushing the duck and fish
ponds on the premises and for the ir-
rigation of the banana and vegetable
patches by means Of which defendants
are earning a livelihood. The use OF
the dams is limited to the flushing of
the water ON the premises and without
such use it would be impossible to raise
fishes and ducks in the ponds, and the
premises would become unsanitary and
a public nuisance.
The right to use the dams is an ease
ment that passes with the leases OF
the premises and without such ease
ment the premises would be worthless.
: During the sixteen years in which
the defendants have used the dams, no
complaint has ever been made to them
or their predecessors about the dams.
and the use of the dams does not ana
cannot affect the proper conduct OF
rice or vegetable business situated in
any place along the stream.
