NUUANU RESIDENTS SCORE POINT
in PROTEST AGAINST CONTRACT

the use OF the streets for private use.
If we put IL to the courts they would
say il was an effort TO make what
really is franchise into a simple
contract; but that in essence II was
franchise nevertheless,
This was in line with the reason
ing OF Mr. Wilmington, who cited a
number OF cases where private right
lad been granted in public street
for permanent use and had been con-
etrued by the courts to be an invalid
grant.
Il am in sympathy with the needs
of the company, and yet | do not be-
lieye we should be made TO suffer
water shortage on its account. do
not believe in the methods of doing
government business as exemplified
by this contract" said Mr.. Withing-
ton. The government needs over
hauling. l am absolutely amazed that
this contract is believed by some to
lie legal For it is well-established
law that you can't give private
right in public street except for
temporary use, or unless the power
has been delegated by the iegisla-
ture"
Mr.. Wilmington declared that the
contract is either a special privilege
or a 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
ment is not proper.
II seems ridiculous that the gov
eminent entered into such contract
to save few hundred dollars a year
TO a wealthy corporation. 1t is es-
tablishing precedent, and if it grants
such a right to one company, Il must
grant a similar one to every other
company applying. 1t is unfair. 1t
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 Nuuaru Val
ley water main, but Mr.. Little was
not iran estimating mood. and in his
final nswer he only allowed that it
woul lake good deal.

Every housekeeper wants to give
her family pure, unadulterated, whole
some food, and as milk is one of the
most nutritious foods which come into
the family, this particularly should
come TO her pure, clean and unadulter-
ated. and she should know positively
before giving up the milkman, when
someone says the milk is not good,
whether IL is pure or not.
This can only be done when the
housekeeper understands a few sim
pie tests which may easily be made in
her home.
SIMPLE HOME TESTS.
For Richness-It is an easy matter
to examine the milk and note the
cream line. which in quart bottles
should be about four inches down from
the top. and the cream. when poured
out. should amount to about one-fourth
Of the contents.
For Dirt-After the milk has stood
undisturbed for an hour hold up the
bottle so that the bottom can be read
lily seen. Note whether there is any
dirt or sediment whatever This is q
visible test for the purity of milk, but
d rather disagreeable factor Of the dirt
in milk is that perhaps more than
three-fourths Of this substance is dis
solved in the milk and does not show
its presence to the eye. This dissolved
dirt may usually be detected by the
taste and smell of the milk. Clear
milk has no distinct favor-simply e
sweet. pleasant taste. II any faYors
are present they are artificial.
