MakawaO Report TO That Effect
Good Water Supply Available
From KailiiIi uIch.-Maka=
wac Notes.
Especial Correspondence.)

MAKAWAO, May 2S.-A sur
prising report comes from the Kula
section that Il majority of Kula
Hawaiians are not in favor of bor-
rowing the $500 for the building
of the proposed Olinda reservoir.
That q reservoir is much needed
especially for Kula people is undis-
puted--and thinking people are
wondering as to reasons for this
reported Kula sentiment.
The recent raising of the Maui
tax-rate from l.. 10 to 1.29 per cent,
Gland values irrespective of planta-
ton holdings remaining the same)
may have had its effect but is not
sufficient to explain the present
lack of enthusiasm among the Kula-
ties.
NEW SUPPLY FOR MAKAwAO.
Apropos of water--it is stated on
good authority that there is an
abundant and continuous supply Of
it in the gulch at Kailiili, 5000
feet elevation, which could be easily
utilized to fill the present reservoirs
on what is known as the Mrs. H.
G. Alexander premises, Makawao,
at 200 feet elevation. These cis-
terms serve Makawao and Paia at
the present time-but are too low
down to supply Kula. The Kali
iii gulch is government property
and being narrow could at small
expense be made into an ample
reservoir. The rainfall at Kailiili,
up to the 23rd of this month, as
reported by w. Hannestad, the
forester, in charge, has been a frac-
ton over 33 inches.
The Makawao- Wailuku district
teachers meeting held at Paia
School, the 10Th inst, was success

somewhat brief, more opportunity
was furnished for discussion anC
