But because the waterworks depart

states that he does not care to incur

not be acceptable to the supervisors.

since the photographic survey has
been under way-about four years.
Present indications are that unless
the coming season follows course
| considerably at variance with past
summer seasons, Honolulu is going TO
lexperience probably the worst drought
in 10 years past Very likely it will
be a dry season for all the islands. y
] Mr.. Harrison and his trained staff
have been taking frequent measure
ments of the streams back of Homo
| lulu, through their automatic clock
register stations and have found with
cut exception that the streams are
far lower than normal, lower than
last year or the year before that or

While the beautiful February
weather was delighting Carnival
crowds, it was giving concern to the
hydrograpFic survey and the water
works officials. because thew knew
that unless rain fell in the hills. the
streams would drop steadily and the
supply in the reservoirs diminish.
Nav Have to Restrict irrigation.
SuDt. ]. w. Caldwell of the depart
ment of public works. frankly admits
that tha water situation in Honolulu
today is a serious one. Up to the nres-
ent, however, no unusual restrictions
have been imposed in the matter OF
using water in any part of the city, hut
in all probability unless heavy rains
come very soon, the irrigation nrivi-
leges will have to be annulled in GER
tain districts at least. u
Today the big reservoir in Nuuanu
valley. known as No a, holds but 90
100000 gallons of water, and this is
decreasing very RAPIDLY. The city
uses about 14.000.000 gallons per day,
a large part of which is supplied from
artesian wells.
At the end of December the Nu-
uanu dam held 100000, 900 gallons On
February % this had dropped to 3d.
100000: and In the II days since that
time 10000, 900. or three-fifths of this
amount has disappeared.
The three other reservoirs in Null
anu valley contain total of 34,000,000
Pallons at the present time, making
the fetal for all the reservoirs in the
valley. 54.000,000 gallons. The arta-.
sian supply still holds. but the water
level is steadily lowering, as il has
been doing for a number of years.
The fact that the winter is now pass
ed, and the expected rains have again
failed to materialize, makes the out
look for the coming summer a seri.

uation is serious, but not alarming,
and unless a drought more severe
than any heretofore recorded in ISL
and history sets in, the big garrison
will not suffer for water. Every pre-
