w. L. Howard, for the committee on
transit and water, stated that the SUI
perintendent of Public Works, Mars
ton Campbell, had agreed to recon-
mend that the legislature appropriate
s35 900 or $4O,O 600 to be used for the
erection of a reservoir on Telegraph
Hill with a capacity of two million
gallons of water. This amount is to
be especially asked for at the opening
of the legislature, and part of 1t to
be used for the purchase of the pipe
line on the Palolo side, so that the
government would control the whole
water system of the district.
He also reported that the committee
was awaiting the decision of the Su-
preme Court at Washington in the Lii
liha street case before taking further
action in regard to improved car SER
vice.

year were elected as follows:

D. w. Anderson, secretary.
A. F. Cooke, treasurer. .
2. K. Myers, I. NJ. Cox, w. w. Thay-
err, Daniel Logan and F. Sackwitz di-

Mr.. Berndt being called to the chair
by the retiring president called on the
members for suggestions touching the
work of the coming year. He also i'm
pressed on them the necessity of CO.
operation and joint action in carrying
out the various improvements that
might be taken in hand from time to
time.
w. l.. Howard, DR.. Rogers and A.
F. Clark agreed with the president on
the tree planting work, all speaking
strongly in favor of continuing the
committee thereon, especially to rec
ommend what trees should be plant
ed on the different streets and aven-
ues in the district for the guidance
of owners and residents.
Mr.. Cooke told of an interview he
had held with Representative Long in
connection with the belt road around
Palolo valley. Mr.. Long suggested
that if this club would get up a strong
petition and frame a special bill for
an appropriation of $4,000 to finish
the road, he would present the bill and
endeavor to have it passed. A mo-
ton to take the course thus suggested
was moved by w. L. Howard, sec
onded by Charles Lucas and carried
unanimously.
On motion of Mr.. Howard, seconded
by DR.. Rogers, it was unanimously re-
solved that the water and transit and
the legislative committees continue
their endeavors to secure an appro-
priation for the erection of a reservoir
of sufficient capacity for the needs of
the district.
Mr.. Howard pointed out that, with
the erection of the Notifications, there
was reason to fear that tenement
buildings might be erected in the dis
trict He suggested that the club con-
slider the matter and prepare itself to
contend with the situation if it arose.
Various measures that the governing
powers might be led to adopt for pre-
venting the nuisance were suggested
by the speaker.
Mr.. Clark urged a thorough canvass
to the end of enrolling all residents of
the district in the club.
