Continued from pgae a
use of the powers granted, the law
was in his opinion perfectly sound and
capable of being enforced. Thayer
also gave it as his opinion that the
enforcement of the law would be a
good thing,
I'VE are way out here on an island
in the middle of the ocean," he stated,
with no possible means Of getting
water once the supply is exhausted.
Ii private owners of artesian wells
persist in a waste of water flowing
from such wells, they are committing
ant act which is public menace.
Now if ten such wells on Beretania
street, for example, were permitted to
flow at will, the supply of water in
Honolulu would be SO imperiled that
the government could require the
owners to regulate the flow and to
employ the water for useful purposes
only. If the government has the po-
ice power to do this in the case of
ten wells in a single section, it has
the same power to do the same with
single wells in separate districts.
Thayer then quoted the famous
slaughter house case in the states,
where the owners of the slaughter
houses were required to close their
establishments because they were
proven to be a menace to the public
welfare.
The attorney general gave no opin-
ion as to that section of the law re-
lating to the use OF. artesian water for

chapter-efght terse paragraphs re-
garding the relationship which should
exist between employees of the car
r1er and the public. The Harmony
chapter follows:
1.-THE function of the freight traffic
department is to develop and solicit

rules and regulations for the handling
thereof.
Agents and other employees of the
santa Fe are expected to Cooperate

traffic department officer in charge of
the territory any views or suggestions
