An Old Report.
That Mr.. Campbell has for a long
| time been contending that the Homo
! lulu water works system is very bad
and greatly in need of remodeling is
proved by his report to the governor
for the year ending June 80, 1908. In
! that report he said
Honolulu Water Works.
! "The present Honolulu water works
| system is a cOnglomerate result of con-
| fiicting ideas to meet the requirements
! of a growing community without a
| definite plan for its future growth or
| increased consumption of water. The
main system is comprised of some six
| ty-eight miles of pipe lines which have
been laid, in many eases, without any
/ consideration as regards class of mate
| rial or sizes of pipe as long as the
/ cost came within the limit of appro-
| priations and supplied the immediate
demand for water. There are very few
places in the United States so happily
| situated as is Honolulu as regards a
supply of pure wholesome water with.
out the necessity of filtration and it
is unfortunate that these supplies were
not taken into consideration when the
various parts of the system were con
structed. We have both the gravity
and pumping systems. the gravity water
being derived from Nuuanu Valley and
Maklki Valley and the pumping or low
| level system, being that portion of The
city lying below the 160-f0ot level de

From analyses made of our artesiar
water, it has been found to be pnr,

Little Money Given.

Little Money Given.
The legislature at the last reguias
session provided that, after the inter
est on bonds was paid off ont of the
income from the Honolulu water works,
the superintendent of public works
might use the balance of the net in
come for the extension of the water
system. This was but drop in the
bucket compared with the amount that
Superintendent Campbell had asked for,
but it helped some.
But Superintendent Campbell could
not know until the end of the fiscal
wear Just what balance he would &C
tually have on hand for the purpose
of water works extension. The needs
of the city. however, were immediate.
What was most needed, and is still
needed, was the installation of the high
lift pump, the boring of two artesian
wells and the construction of a new
reservoir at Kaimuki to take the place
of the present leaky affair that loses
more water than it conserves.
Would Anticipate.
Marston Campbell estimated the in.
come of the water works, deducted
penses and the payment of interest on
bonds, and figured that he would have
left a certain sum which could be ex-
pended for the extension of the system.
On this basis, he called for bids for
the installation of the high lift pump
the boring of the two artesian wells
and the construction of the Kaimuki
reservoir. He calculated that he could

Bnt here Auditor Fisher stepped in
He called attention to a law which
he said made it illegal for him to
approve warrants for money not vet
actually in the treasury. Suppose. he
argued, that some accident should hap
pen to the system which it would take
$4,000 to repair. The balance avail
able for extension would be cut dowI
that amount and Campbell would hav,
overdrawn his net balance to pay fo'
the proposed extensions. He could no
approve the expenditure of any none,
not yet actually on hand.
Deadlocked.
Campbell, with his bids on hand
and ready to accept the best of them
became excited and protested. bu
Fisher was obdurate. There was notl

The Acting Governor Mott Smith wa
called into conference and the questio
was put up to him. Mr.. Mott-Smit
took time for consideration, and in tn
end virtually upheld both sides. II
held that the auditor was right an
Campbell could not anticipate his il

that the water situation in Honolul
is serious and something must be dor

bell might drawn on the treasury for
the money needed to install the pump
and after the first of the year, when
the treasury balance is greater, might
draw out enough to pay for the boring
of the wells. So that part is settled,
and the water supply of Honolulu will
be increased by 100000 a day from
the proposed new wells, while the high
lift pump, it is hoped, will do its share
toward relieving the serious situation
that now exists.

Situation Bad.

That the water situation in Homo
lulu is indeed a scandal is a fact adj
mitted by Superintendent Campbell. In
fact, he has been making statements
to that effect ever since he went into
office. In his report to the Governor
for the two years ending June 80, 1908,
he said, "The present Honolulu water
works system is eonglomerate result
of conflicting ideas to meet the re-
quirements of growing community
without definite plan for its future
growth or increased consumption of
water.o For two years and more Mr.
Campbell has been preaching artesian
water and the necessity of developing
the system so that Honolulu would not
be obliged to depend upon the surface
waters from Nuuanu Valley, which he
said in one of his reports would never
be fit for human consumption without
the construction of big f1tering plant

Shameful Waste.

Marston Campbell says that one of
the chief causes of water shortage is
waste. 81 put meter on the pipes
of one private citizen of this city," he
said yesterday, sand T found that in
thirty-four days he used 655,000 gallons
of water! That is the way a lot of our
water is going. am installing meters
as fast as possible, for I believe that
the only system is the meter system.
1t can not be put too strong.' saws
Mr. Campbell. "This city is growing
rapidly. but our water system is not
keeping pace with it. 1t is a hodge
podge of different ideas. For instance.
on halakaua avenue there is an eight
inch pipe. but for two hundred feet
Of its length it is pieced ont with six
inch pipe. You can easily see how that
cuts down the supply. I asked the leg.

Plan to Legislature.

Last February, before the legislature
met, Mr.. Campbell prepared complete
plans for the extension of the system
and made detailed estimates of the
cost. He placed the situation before
both the people and the legislature, and
he asked the legislature to appropriate
the sum of $343,096.76 for the ensuing
two years to be expended in bringing
the system up to date and putting it
in shape adequately to supply the grow,
ing city.
The legislature turned him down. Tn
its great generosity. however. it did
authorize the superintendent of public
works to expend for the extension of
the system whatever of net income he
might have left after paying some 500,
| 600 interest on outstanding bonds This
| it is estimated, leaves about So. 900 fol

State Invests in One Big Hog.

The State of Delaware has bought
a hog. And the State had to send all
the way to Ames, Iowa. to get him
Registered hogs have been brought
here in large numbers, but this hog
is not registered and yet is probably
the most valuable hog ever brought
to this State.
The decision to buy him was
made by the Governor, sitting and
presiding, ex-ofhcio, over the State
Board of Agriculture. And all the
members of the Board voted for the
hog
About six months ago, the United
States Government succeeded in its
experiments to stop the ravages of
hog cholera by incubation. The
experiments were successfully car
ried out at Ames, where the expert
ment station of Iowa is situated.
Now the various States are max
ing strenuous efforts to be supplied
with immhne hogs Delaware has
been allotted one and has quickly
decided to take him. He IS abso-
lutely immune from hog cholera.
DR.. Dawson, State veterinarian,
was instructed by the Board and
the Governor to bring the hog to
Delaware and keep him segregated
somewhere near the State farm.
His blood is worth money TO the
man who has a drove of hogs in
which the cholera has broken out
and from which there are hogs dy-
ing in one, two, three order. But
the blood is an abomination to the
other animals or the man with |
cracks in his fingers.
When the cholera breaks out any
where, DR.. Dawson will simply 90
% the hog, get a little of his immune
blood, make a serum Of it, innocu-
ate the swine yet alive of the in
ected fold, and they will all get well.
There are only two objections to
his only known remedy for hog
.holera. First, it is said, it will be
IN expensive operation. Second,
is likely to be unpopular. AS
TRANCE as the idea is, it IS never
heless a fact that some men would
ather have dead animals than in
culated animals.

A MILFORD BOYS VISIT
ABOUT THE HOLY LAND
CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK. ]

CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.
We have now arrived back just
outside of the walls of the city of
Jerusalem, near the Damascus gate,
and here we find the 'Tombs of the
Kings of Jeudea, where we find
some of the most royal looking
tombs in all Jerusalem, Astounding
in rock-hewn tombs. A flight of
steps cut out of the rocks leads to a
chamber open to the sky and con
tanning about two feet of water
this chamber was originally for the
use in washing dead bodies before
interment. On the western side of
the court is another chamber richly
hewn and whose roof was formerly
upheld by two columns, which have
since fallen. The inner door lead
ing to the tombs was closed in olden |
times by rolling stone, which still |
stands to the left of the door, 1t is |
too heavy for one man to roll but
it is easily rocked to and fro and is
an interesting example of the old
method of closing the entrance to a
tomb, still practiced in the time of
Christ as we know by the history
of his entombment This door leads
into an extensive and curious series
of chambers, the walls of each be-
ing cut out on all sides into shelves
for the reception of bodies, which
last have in every case disappeared
