Dear Sir: Referring to your letter
of April 22nd, containing enclosure
from H. p Wood ESD secretary of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee with
reference to the outlook for an eXcur-
sion from this city to the Hawaiian Is
lands, in the near future, / beg to adj
wise YOU that in my judgment such an
excursion can be arranged for and sue
cessfully conducted.
1t is my opinion that the most pro-
pitious time to hold it, however would
be in mid-winter, at a time when we
could offer business men trip that
would transport them into a land of
sunshine and warmth.
With sufficient encouragement from
q few representative business men !
shall be glad to undertake to arrange
the details Of such an excursion, to be
limited to say one hundred and fifty
persons on board a specially chartered
steamship, covering an itinerary of
approximately thirty days.
tentative steps were taken To ar
range for this excursion last winter,
and it was found at the last moment
that it would be impossible to charter
a vessel adapted for this purpose, so
that the plan was for the time being
abandoned,
Senator Piles, who is shortly to visit
the Islands, has kindly consented to
work IN sentiment in anticipation of
such an excursion TO be given under
the auspices Of this Chamber, and upon
his return | believe he will give out
an interview for the benefit Of Seattle

spOnsibility for that water system knows moth
ing of it until a newspaper reporter asks him
what he is doing about it.
If it is not the duty Of the Commissioner OF
Water Supply TO safeguard the purity Of the
clty's water, whose duty is it? II he cannot keep
himself informed to the condition Of that
water and OF the health Of the communities
along the shores of CrOton Lake, who can? If
this instance of official ignorance were solitary
we might pass it by without serious reproba-
ton as one of those slips or oversghts which
may happen under the best of governments.
But ii is only one of many. 1t was not so very
long ago that The Tribune called the attention

Water Commissioners the filthy and danger

official had never heard of them until The Trib
une told aim of them, when he regarded the
matter of enough importance to warrant
sudden visit to KatOnah on special train. On
various other occasions in the last few years
the first information Of dangerous abuses in
the Croton region has reached the city auth0rl-
ties through The Tribune. We are glad to
testify that upon hearing the news from US
they unhesitatingIy accept it as true and i'm

them up TO the doing of it.
In the present case the facts had been
known 10 many persons fer several days be
fore The Tribune brought II IN 70 official at
tention In some eases, as DR. Darlington truly
says. there have been attempts to conceal the
presence of infectious diseases. There have
been none in this case. The physicians of Ka-
tonah are enlightened men, thoroughly up TO
date and regardful of their responsibilities, and
they have made no secret of the character Of
the disease ut that village. 1t was known in
Katonah and in this city. too week ago that
there We're cases OF typhoid fever in THAI vii
lage The fact, with the names Of the patients,
was published last week IN The Katonah
Times" In such circumstances it IS difficult
to conceive any satisfactory excuse for the
ignorance which has prevailed in the office Of
the Commissioner Of Water Supply.
