Urging Necessity for Very
Prompt Action

Dropping like a bomb in tho camp

that HOnOlulu'S water supply is Suffi-
ciCnt and win supply the needs Of the
community if patched up a little. the
report of the superintendent of water
works, submitted yesterday through
the superintendent of pubic WORKS.
sounds the danger signal of the lack
OF fire protection owing to the doarth
in the supply OF water. During the
dry season" the report states, the
pumps and boilers had to be strained
to their utmost capacity in a continu.
Gus grind for twenty-fOur hours every
day during several months. No re-
serve was available. The Nuuanl; res
Crvoirs were practically empty, and ii
can be imagined that the city during
that period was in a very grave dan
ger if the pumps had failed and 9
conflagratiOn, taken place at the same
time"
Going on TO point out the utter mad
equacy of the present water system,
the report further states: "The pres
ent equipment is not sufficient to in
sure an adequate supply in time of
Graught as we experienced last sum-
mer and as we may reasonably expect
again Too much emphasis cannot be
laid upon the fact that We have no re-
serve to rely upon in case of serious
accident to the pumps. and no means
at hand to do the absolutely neCes-
sary OvCrhauling of the pumps. x
The head Of the artesian water supply
is slowly and steadily sinking This
supply of pure and wholesome water
IS one of the most valuable assets of
the island and should be conserved
for future generations. A great deal
is wasted from private wells which are
not controlled and also from me wells
of the Honolulu Rapid Transit Com
pany and the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany.
'As shown by the reports, the duty
imposed upon the machinery has been
exceedingly heavy during the last
period, not only on account of the
very dry season, but more on account
of the continuous growth OF the city.
The necessity Of restricting irrigation
to four hours daily, the necessity of
prohibiting irrigation entirely in the
Nuuanu system during several
months, and numerous complaints
from privileges at higher levels about
shortage Of water. are some of the
many proofs that the present installa-
tion does not suffice any longer for
the ever growing demand for water"
Remedy Pointed Out.
That tho case. serious as it is, is
dmenahle to remedy and will remedy
itself if the proper steps are immedi-
atelY taken, is. however, shown clearly
in the report.

the report states, "is drawing its main
supply from the artesian wells of this
. island, which according to all records
and indications. is large enough to
furnish water for many generations if

COMMERCIAL CLUB HEARS
CARTER ON TARIFF FIGHT

Hiss reply had been 10 ask what the
particular individual addressing him
was doing toward helping the fight
against free sugar. Some had said
they did not know what they could
do, or how they could do anything.
and one sugar man had said he did
not think it would be appropriate for
,1e sugar planters 70 take any action,
as it would look like "one talking
about himself" The speaker referred
to the Clever and inimitable way" in
which Frank Thompson had put the
matter to all, and went on to consider
what assets or ammunition" could be
had for the campaign. Going over the
ground of his former utterances in
that connection, he told of report
received at the committee meeting
this morning, of a lady who had tele-
phoned to a committeeman asking for
material to put in letter to an in,
fluential friend on the mainland. He
considered it inadvisable for cores
pondents to use arguments on protec'
ton in the abstract such as would be
appropriate in any part of the coun'
try. Letters must have local color.

Democratic Senator Would.
Gust Politics from Police and
Fire Departments

Moving to Gust politics from sh0id
on the police and fire departments,
and TO establish civil service in its
stead, Senator Wirtz introduced a
measure in the senate this morning
which may. mean the death knell OF
politics in the two departments.
With such a bill on the statute
books, the. plum tree of the two de-
partmentS will be fruitlesS, says the
author of the bill, and merit rather
than influence will determine the pro
motion of the men. Under the prOvi
sionS of the measure physical and
mental examination is required to be
satisfactorily passed by an applicant
before being employed, and his dis
charge cannot be effected without
cause.
Senator Wirtz has made study Of
the various acts in different cities
where the civil service innovation has
been tried, such as in Los Angeles,
Galveston and numerous other cities,
and he asserted today that his meas
IRE is as thorough and comprehensive
as any, and that in nunDer OF in
stances the civil service idea in his
bill is even more Tigidly enforced.
1T is something the city has long
been in need Of he stated today, "as
it will do away with a great leal of
the trouble we have been hearing
about in connection with the admin
stration of the police and fire de-
Eartments. i
THE act has been carefully drawn,
and believe the civil service idea is
carried out in it effectively. And,
furthermore, am confident it will
pass" * ." .
Together with this bill, Senator
Wirtz introduced another relating to
deputy sheriffs. They both passed
first reading, and will be printed and
heard for reference to committee and
second reading the first of next week.
