PRAISE FOR THE FRONTAGE.
TAX PLAN.
Editor Honolalu slar,RulletIn.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
! Sir:--I read with much interest the
report OF the meeting OF KaimuN res
idents at Liliuokalanl school. as pub

OF Observer, and ! would ask the priv

the frcntage7tax scheme as it OBJ

Of the northern part of the state.
In order that / may not be too Sc

fair knowledge OF the question.
In California, the general principal
is, as Observer so apply says, He
who dances must pay. The property
owner pays only for the work actually
done on streets that pass his property
when the original Improvement Is

rate of taxation to help maintain
streets in other parts of1the city that
have been COMPLETED. III
In the northern part of California
! think the city that has taken the
most interest in the frontage improve.
ment is the city of Richmond, from
which place ! came to Honolulu about
two years ago. This city, which 10
years ago was q big marsh and grain

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin,
Sir: neiiced in last nights issue
of the Star-Bulletin the statement
that the urgeon-general was not op.
posed to the army caRfeen.
The statement which was printed
in your paper was that Colonel E. M.
Maus, chief surgeon and medical in
spector of the eastern division of the
u. S. army. has furnished valuable
testimony showing that since the
adjustment of the sale of liquors in
the army, the conditions have i'm
proved vastly.

The Water Supply.

The supply of water continues to be
sufficient for ordinary use, but there
has been but little, if, any, gain in
the amount in the reservoir. The
Council. it Is said, has made salts
factory arrangements for putting in
the water from the slate rock spring
which will Increase the supply about
II, 900 gallons per day.
The engineer in his report says that
he would not recommend a pumping
station at this time. 1t is to be hoped
that the time will never come when
the pure, mountain distilled water
will be replaced by water from the
river. We now have water of the
finest quality, none has better and it
is certainly wise to continue to fur
nish our people this delightful water.
River water may be filtered, but in
spite of this, it continues to be river
water and we don't want to drink
water whose impurities are real or
Imaginary.

For the Herald.

In some county towns, | have OBJ
served some very strange conduct
In one town which visited, / went
| to the Post Office, I happened to
get there while the Post Master and
his clerks were opening the mail.
The lobby was well filled with men
land women. The men we're gener-
|ally quiet, but the young women,
was sorry to notice, were very loud.
About half dozen seemed to be
trying to attract the attention of
some young men or boys and did
not hesitate to engage in loud talk
ing and laughter to the great annoy
ance, l could see, of a number of
persons who were present. l really
felt sorry for them. Some others
seem to think that it was not at all
impolite to stand in front of the
lock boxes, so that the owners
would be compelled to wait for
them to move before they could ap-
proach their boxes. Others filled
the door way so that gentlemen
were almost compelled to push
them aside. They often succeed
in attracting attention, but oftener
provoke remarks that are anything
but complimentary. I thought, am
glad that my sister is not one of
them. Possibly may have more
to say upon the subject.

Painfully lDjuGd In
Automobile Accident.
MISS D0SH DIES, TUESDAY
AT 7:2O A. M.

On last Friday evening Mr.. Geo
w. Ring, of Edinburg, accompanied
by his wife and one or two others
were on their way to the Chautauqua
when at the corner of Court and
Main streets, he met with a very
serious accident. Miss DoSh was
OF very nervous disposition. Ac-
cording to the statement of wit
nesses she was crossing the street
and was clear of the machine, but
becoming confused she stepped in
front of it. When Mr.. Ring saw her
in front of the car, he suddenly
turned his car to the right'in order
to prevent striking her, but some
part of the car struck her, throwing
her violently to the pavement. Her
skull was fractured, one leg was
broken and she was otherwise in
jured. She was at once carried to
DR.. Shoots office in the back part
of the drug store and afterwards tax
! en- to her home. Drs. Smoot, Irwin
and Cline rendered surgical atten-
ton but her injuries were such that
no hope of her recovery was enter
tanned. She fingered until Tuesday
! morning, at 7:20 when she expired.
In turning the machine to the
right Mrs. ]. c. Paxton was struck
by the guard rail and knocked down.
She was severely injured, but her
physician DR.. S. ]. Hoffman reports
that she is doing very well.
In this sudden affliction, the fam
! ly have the warm sympathies OF
our people.
Mr.. Ring at once gave himself up
to the authorities and Justice Allen
released him to await the result OF
the injuries. After Miss Dosh's
death, no inquest was held. The
family specially made this request
as they attached no blame to Mr.
Ring. The automobile was RUNNING
slowly at the time. In turning away
from Miss Dosh, Mr.. Ring ran his
machine against the telephone pole
at the corner of the court house
pavement. The radiator was broken
the axle slightly bent and there was
some other slight injury to the ma
chine.
Miss Dosh is survived by two
sisters, Misses Elizabeth and Jennie
Dosh, and two brothers, Messrs.
Thomas Dosh, of Williamsburg, and
William Dosh, of this place.
Miss Dosh was buried yesterday
at 2 P. M. The services were con-

Special Meeting of Town Council

The Town Council met last Tuesday
night to hear the report of Mr.. N.
Wilson Davis, Hydraulic Engineer.
After an examination of the reser-
voirs and sources of supply, he re
ported that 26,400 gallons per day
were flowing into the reservoirs, thai
the storage capacity was for 800, 00C
gallons. He recommended adding two
springs, one near the top of the noun
tain and the slate rock spring which
flows about II 1000 gallons per day
He considered the supply too small
and recommended raising the walls Of
the reservoirs so as to increase the
storage capacity, 600. 900 gallons. He
advised the use of all available
springs before looking elsewhere 70
water. He said he would not advis4

The proposition of Mr.. VIM. French
to sell or give the slate spring to I'll
town under certain conditions was
read by the Secretary aud discusse d
by Judge Tavenner and Hon. NJ. l..
Walton, after which tie council on
the motion of Mr.. Morrison accepted
the second proposition to sell tn
spring, provided satisfactory arrange
