Total. ...,.... SJf, $40 @0o, Ofo
Thus, Grouse is shown to he lower
than Christensen by s0S, but this total
does not include the placing OF a new
roof on the present structure.
Mr.. Poulson said, in explaining
this, that they will not have new
roof put on the present building for a
year or two. because there is not
money enough for that at the present
time. Had there been sufficient funds
to have the roof put on now, Christen-
sens total bid for the work would be
lower than Grouse by .$l64, because
Christensen's bid for the roof was
only $780, as against Crouse's bid of
1892.
Mr. Poulson said that they bad tried
to get more than S35, 600 from the
Board OF Estimate but that they were
unable to persuade them to recon-
mend any more than that amount. and
that, therefore, they cannot put on a
new roof at this time.
A letter was read from |. r. Grouse,
demanding tile payment OF a bill of
his for 1860, for extra work done on
school No. two years ago, and
threatening to take steps to collect it.

ing, but did net speak in the matter.
l.. NJ. Kelly, of Kelly & McAlinden,
asked for the payment of their bill for
5000 for extra work ut No. 6, due at
the same time, two years ago.
Commissioner Crowell said that he
was in favor of paying the bills, al
though the work in question was
ordered at the time by minority vote
of committee.
Commissioner Poulson said that
there is not sufficient money to pay
them now, and he moved that the
building committee be authorized to
consult an attorney as to their powers
in the natter The motion was carried.
The project of buying the books for
the new school direct from the pub
fishers, and thus saving twenty per
cent, was broached, as 1t was. urged
that the board should save the money
which now goes to the local supply
houses, through whom the books have
been purchased.
All of the members were present at
the meeting, which did not commence

u secret session in an outer room.

CONCERNING TUE
NUUANU RESERVOIR

| Editor Advertiser: No one who has
lived for thirty or forty years in Nu-
uanu valley and seen the freshets
tearing down through the stony water
course. has any doubt as to the copious
supply of water which could be saved
with a well-regulated system of stor-
lake at the head of the valley. With
out doubt the water which runs to
waste every year is enough to supply
the whole city abundantly.
It is not the quantity we are worried
about, but the quality. The wash from
the mountains will do for irrigation or
water-power or for bathing and laun-
dry; it is also valuable for extinguish-
ing fires. But some of us like water
as a beverage and we like it best when
it is clean and pure.
Not long ago we had a little expert
ence in our home. We were notified
that the water would be shut off at a
certain hour, so we filled the bath tub
that we might have supply for neces-
sities The next morning when the
tub was emptied Ghe water was very
dirty. the mud in the bottom was full
of black worms, and festive tadpoles
sported gaily about. For years we have
boiled and filtered all our drinking
water, but to boil and filter water like
this would only make worm soup and
the idea is not pleasant. AT this time
even the boiled and filtered water was
so offensive that we could not drink it.
Can we safely use the valley water
unless we have large. expensive fill
tration reservoir? Will such a reser-
voir be less expensive than a pumping
system?
In speaking of the cost should we
not also include health? 1t is costly
to be unhealthy, as We have learned
from two expensive quarantine expert
ences. Is it possible to make a supply
of surface water safe for people to
drink?
These questions are asked not in
spirit of carping criticism, but because
they seem to be worthy of careful
consideration. The Superintendent of
Public Works has my profound SYM
pathy, but my home is in Nuuanu, and
a resident of that locality has right
to express interest in a subject so vital
to health and general comfort.
Very respectfully,
ELIZABETH VAN CLEVE HALL.

awarded one dollar damages, where he
sued for about $1,000, in his libel in
admiralty against the Pacific Mail
Steamship Co. for damages to personal
baggage on a voyage of the steamer
Manchuria from San Francisco to Ho-

Judge Dole rendered the decision
yesterday, holding that, while the COM

passengers baggage outside of the
limitations of the contract, where the
injury was due to its negligence. the
plaintiff must prove that the goods
Were in good condition previously.
There was no evidence to this effect
produced in the case so that the plain
tiff was entitled only to nomina
