Superintendent of Public Works
Campbell has aroused the indignation
of members of the Kapahulu Improve
lment Club by absolute failure to live
up to what the club calls a black-and-
white promise to install water-mains
In the Kaplolani Park Addition.
The club last night. after giving the
Superintendent every chance to dis
play some interest In the matter now
that the bond money is available.
passed a resolution of the strongest
condemnation.
In an effort to explain and excuse
his conduct, the Superintendent In an
interview In this mornings paper. is
quoted as follows:
,"As q matter OF dignity, why did
they not come to the superintendent
Office and secure the facts? They
have not been In to see me and | know
nothing about it."
Campbell's dignity" has certainly
been severely shocked. but when to-
day he stops to think just what he
said, or is quoted as saying, he is like
~ to get some more shocks.
} Months ago, about last September
two members of the club, II. s. Kelly
and william Young, called on Camp
bell about this very matter. At tina
. time II was talked over and Campbell
. assured them he would take the mat
ter up at once. although he said h
wanted to see houses built In the dis
trict before water-mains were laid
The committee then pointed out l.
him the fact that nobody would liv
. there unless they could get water
Moreover. Campbell seems to hav
!. forgotten that on May 5, 1911. he ad
!. dressed the following communicable
d on the subject. in which he shows yer
. plainly that he l'new all about the re
. quest for the Waterman extension:
