in PROTEST AGAINST CONTRACT.

the use of the streets for. private use.
IL we put it to the courts they would
say IL was an effort to make what
really is a franchise into simple
contract; but that in essence II was
a franchise nevertheless"
This was in line with the reason
ing OF Mr.. Wilmington, who cited a
number of cases where private right
had been granted in a public street
for permanent use and had been con-
strued by the courts to be an invalid
grant.
Il am in sympathy with the needs
Of the company, and yet do not be-
lieve we should be made to suffer
q water shortage on its account / do
not believe in the methods of doing
governments business as exemplified
by this contract" said Mr.. Withing-
ton. THE government needs over
hauling. | am absolutely amazed that
this contract is believed by some to
lie legal For IL is well-eStablished
law that you can't give a private
right in public street except for
temporary use, or unless the power
has been delegated by the lcgisla-
ture"
Mr.. wilmington declared that the
contract Is either special privilege
or franchise and Illegally granted in
either case. He said If it is a fran
chise, only congress could grant it.
Mr.. Bishop said that though he had
not obtained legal advice on the sub,
sect, he was certain that the agree
nent is not proper
1T seems ridiculous that the gov
eminent entered into such 2 contract
to save a few hundred dollars year
TO a wealthy corporation. 1t is es-
iablishing precedent, and If it grants
such right to one company, ,it must.
grant a similar one to every other
company applying. 1t is unfair. II
isn't square deal"
Joseph Little, superintendent of the
water works was present, and Senator
Judd attempted to obtain from him an
estimate OF the amount of water it
would take to supply number of
other utility companies, in event they
should apply to tap the Nuuanu Val
ley, water main, but Mr.. Little was
not in an estimating mood, and in his
final answer he only allowed that it
would take good deal
Il do not believe this is proper
contract. said Senator Judd at the
conclusion of the hearing, land do
not believe the residents of the dis.
trict should be possibly deprived Of
water through the contract However,
the compliments have their remedy
through the courts and there is moth
ing this committee can do"
During the hearing Mr. Trent pre-
scented a statement showing that even
when the government was signing up

The. contract, there was an order in
forge stopping irrigation in the Enu-
anu district, showing that the water
department knew of the shortage. A,
Z. Castle cited figures showing that
during the fall OF 1912 fhe rainfall
in Nuuanu Valley averaged twenty TO
thirty inches month less than in
the preceding fall, and ne argued
from this that the water department
should have known of the threatened
shortage and refused TO sign the con-
:Tact allowing the electric company to
take water through a fourinch pipe
TO use in its boilers.

Sen. Judd at End of Hearing
Declares Agreement Is Not
a Proper One and Sug-
geStS Recourse

Presenting their arguments before
the select committee OF Oahu sena-
tors maintaining that the contract
entered into by the board of public
works to permit the Hawaiian Elec-
trio company TO divert part OF the
water from Nuuanu Valley for its
plant Is unfair AID possibly invalid,
residents of the district we're heard
last night i'm protest.
After a number of prominent men
lad spoken, resting their contentious
on the Snvalidity of the contract,
pointing ont that it either was in
substance franchiseDor special
privilege. and that in either 1t could
not stand the scrutiny of court, or
upon the danger of water shortage
which threatens Nuuanu, Senator
Judd rose ard told the residents that
proceedings for an Injunction be COM
menced.
Coming to the senate still i'll from
Q sickness which has caused his abb
sence from that body for two days,
Senator Coke, who introduced the
resolution in the senate calling for
this investigation, and his colleagues
5stened to the arguments and COM
Aents of Attorney Wilmington. Philip
Fayer, J. r. Gait, Supervisor Lester
.a-,trie, A. L. Castle, z. Faxon Bishop,
r. II. Trent and Marston Campbell,
and in the end agreed with Senator
Judd that the residents of Nuuanu
had an adequate remedy at law, and
that the senate committee could do
nothing more than to advise them to
proceed to court.
Though through the entire meeting
the board OF public works was criti-
cised sharply, those who came expect
ing to hear the Hawaiian Electric
company scored went away disap-
pointed, for it was conceded by the
speakers that the company was in no
wise to blame and its part in the
agreement was termed good piece
OF business. and one which should
raise the salary Of the officers" But
the board Of public works got what
the electric company missed. and so
vitrol1ike were the criticism that
