AS to the water supply Manager
Watt reports:
Owing to an ample rainfall through
out the whole year the KOhala Ditch
Company has been able to deliver
nearly the full amount of water con-
tracted for. This has enabled us to
keep our irrigation well forward and
in consequence the young cane looks
very promising.
1T is a noticeable fact that when
ever the rainfall is light the ditch
shows it at once by a marked falling
off in its delivery. Such being the
case, ] would not favor contracting for
any more water from the KOhala Ditch
Company, as it would simply mean
that we must pay for it during rainy
times. when we do not require it at all
and yet do not have it during dry
dimes, when we really need it.
we have built one reservoir during
the year with a capacity Of nine mill
lion gallons of water and have started
on another which will have a capacity
of fifteen million gallons and which
will be finished in time for the coming
crop"
