Critical tests of the water being

be made before the city takes further
steps toward causing the water and
sewer systems to be transferred from
the territory 10 Honolulu, if resolu-
tion being prepared Is adopted by the
board Of supervisors.
Complaints have been made that
the potable water is a breeder Of dis
case, and the cause of il has been
traced to the big dam in Nuuanu val
icy. According to the statements
made upon which the resolution is
drawn. the water caught in the dam.
and used by Honolulu, covers an area
OF thirty-eight acres. Bones of ami
mails and decayed vegetation, the ac-
emulation of years, are strewn over
the dam area, the resolution will point
out
II is due to this condition that dis
ease germs are said to be bred there,
and cases of typhoid are attributed to
using the water for potable purposes.
The disclosure of conditions was
brought to light soon after the super
xisors had decided to take up the
matter Of the transfer OF the two sys-
tens, provided for by an act passed
by the last session of the legislature,
at its next meeting, set for noon Sat
urday. At this time the resolution
may be introduced.
The supervisors are divided into
two factions on the proposition of the
transfer, a number desiring it to be
consummated Immediately, the re-
naming ones believing that the works
should be exported before other steps
are taken TO the end that the condi-
tions may be made known to them.
That the city is exposed to a ty-
phoid peril will be one of the stast
ling assertions made in the resolu-
ton. and the genesis of the peril is to
be found at the Nuuanu dam. There
the decomposed animal and vegetable
matter, visible TO the eye in many
places over the thirty-eight acres, are
said to be the home of typhoid and
other disease microbes, which pass
from there into the pipes, and eventu-
ally into the body Of the person who
drinks of the water of the city.
Other statements will be made of
different nature. 1t Is to be asserted

Oakland. Cal. Aug. l3.-Red
Watson, champion of the local light
weights and frankie Burns. cham
pion of the 1873 pound brigade will
furnish the entertainment at the
Oakland Wheelman club tonight in

weigh in at 1888 pounds weight
which is suitable to both boys.
This appears to be one of the
most attractive l,ttle matches on
the cards, for both boys have a good
following and both know the game
from ali its angles. Besides, there
is great deal of rivalry between
them. They have been looking for
this chance for several months past
and now that the match has finally
been made the fans on both sides
of the bay will do g whole lot of re-
ioicing. 1t is understood that
Burns will receive $1,000 for his
bit, a tidy sum for a 10 round bat
tie.
Watson is nifty boy, full OF
speed and action. He is great
favorite with all the followers OF
the game because of his aggressive
ness and his Willingness to keep
mixing things up ali the time. Since
his recent knockout of Tommy Nc.
Farland. the auburn haired sluggei
has been regarded as the very best
, of the local boys at the 1873 pound
weight. This battle means the
making or breaking of him.
