Grand Jury to Probe
WaterworkS Deeper
Raps Officials for Laxness in Admin
iStratiOn. Fourteen True Bills are
Found. Heavy Criminal Calendar.

FOund.-HeaVy Criminal Calendar.
After going through the books of
the Wailuku Waterworks and listen
ing to number of witnesses as to
the condition of the accounts of both
the Wailuku system and that of Ma
kawao, the grand jury yesterday de-
cided that it did not care to take any
action against any individual at pre-
sent. In making it's full report yes
terday afternoon, however, it took
occasion to rather pointedly rap the
administration of the waterworks, and
to indicate that it may care to go into
the matter further at some future
time. Accordingly, in dismissing the
inquisitorial body, Judge Edings, did
so, subject to calling it together again
in case it may seem best to do so.
The report of the jury is as follows
"The grand jury will await the final
report of the County supervisors be-
fore proceeding further in connection
with the Wailuku Waterworks in7es-
tigation which it heartily approves of.
'"But from the evidence brought be-
fore it, it is clear that the officials
in authority in this matter have not
had a proper appreciation OF the
duties of their office, and it recon-
mends that they be more diligent in
the future.
"The grand jury feels the same
investigation.
CLARENCE G. WHITE,
Foreman"
