McGregor's Landing
Is to Be Improved
Members of HarbOr Board About De-
Cided on the Matter-FOrbeS Now
Believes it Best Plan.

The board of harbor commissioners
will probably soon authorize the eX-
penditure of the $4,000 provided by
the last legislature from the loan fund
for improving McGregor's Landing.
Superintendent Forbes, of the depart
ment of public works, who is also a
member of the harbor board, who at
first was inclined to insist on the use
of Kihei, instead of McGregor's, stat
ed this week that he has changed his
mind on the matter, since the investi-
CATION of the fatal accident at La
haina landing some months ago. Com
missioner T. M. Church, who is also
on Maui this week, is frankly in favor
of the project, and there seems little
doubt that the work will be proceeded
with as soon as the necessary surveys
can be made. 1t is planned to extend
the present pier hundred feet or
more seaward, which it is claimed Will
give ships boats smooth landing
under almost all conditions.
Lahaina Ship Wharf Feasible.
At cost of 100000, Superintendent
Forbes stated that he can build bulk
head wharf at Lahaina that would
always be safe for inter-island craft,
and under most conditions for larger
vessels also Until the people are
ready for this expenditure, however,
he believes that the next best thing
for the leeward side of Maui is to
improve McGregor's, and this he in
dicated will be done as soon as prac-
ticable.

NOTED ORGANIST TO GIVE
RECITAL TOMORROW NIGHT

Walter Handel Thorley, ce,ebrat-
ed English organist, who is spending
a few weeks touring the Islands, will
be on Maui for several days, and has
consented to give a recital tomorrow
evening at the Wailuku Union Church.
Mr.. Thorley has an international repu-
tation as a musician. He has played in
the principal capitals of Europe, and
he is at present on his way to the
United States after spending the past
year in Australia and New Zealand,
where he created a sensation with his
playing. Although in Hawaii simply
as a tourist, Mr.. Thorley has given
several recitals in Honolulu which
were a revelation to music lovers
there; and it is certain that Maui is
exceedingly fortunate in having the
opportunity of hearing him also, Mr.
Thorley will be assisted at tomorrow
evenings recital by Mrs. Louise CHS
holm Jones, who has just returned
from vacation on the mainland.

Accident Board Will
Not Accept Policies
AIT Compensation By Insurance Thus
Far Offered Held to Be Inadequate
Limiting Clauses Obstacle.

On the grounds that none of the
policies thus far written by any of the
local insurance agencies conforms to
the requirements of the new work
mems compensation law. the indust-
rial accident board, at its meeting held
last Saturday, adopted a resolution
refusing to accept any of the compen-
sation thus far offered. Notices were
sent out this week to one hundred or
more employers who have bought liza
bility insurance, advising them that
their returns are not satisfactory and
that they must get something better.
The same action in effect has been
taken by the boards of the other coun-
ties.
The Maui board, in discussing the
matter at the meeting, decided that,
inasmuch as all of the insurance
companies have seen fit to insert modi-
flying, or limiting clauses in their poll
cies, they do not fully insure the en-
ployer as the law requires, and the
board therefore has no recourse eX-
cept to refuse to accept them. For
instance most of the companies which
have thus far entered this new field
of insurance in Hawaii, refuse to in
clude for purposes of compensation
any employee under IA years of age
Also they limit themselves to max
imum of $40, 900 for which they will be
liable in case of any single accident
In case of a serious disaster, this
might only be sufficient to compensate
two employees.
The law requires every employer tc
provide for compensation for all of his
employees, and provides a penalty OF
81 per day for each employee, fol
which this is not done, beginning July
/. The board thus has it in its power
to make things decidedly unpleasant
for employers who seek to evade the
law. Just how the matter will be ad
iusted remains to be seen. II is be
lieved that the insurance companies
will get together and draft a policy
that will be satisfactory, although II
is hinted that the big Six" insurance
combination may refuse to play ant
Withdraw from the field. Should this
occur the law will be practically nul
lifted until the next legislature, unless
other companies see fit to take up Tho
business.
Plans Some Prosecutions.
In the meantime, however, the board
is planning to make a few horrible eX
amples of delinquent employers, by
having them apprehended through th'
shoriff's department and imposing the
penalty provided by Jaw. The law has
been in operation since July 1st anC
there ara still large number of EN-
ployers on Maui who nave not beer
heard from. At the next meeting i
was decided that this matter shall re
ceive serious attention.

Wailuku Soon
To Have New
WaterWOrkS
Plans Being Prepared That Will Also
Give Kahului Adequate Supply
Work to be Pushed, Says Forbes
May Also Supply Shipping.

The Wailuku and Kahului water
works system is in pretty bad shape,
and needs attention, which 1t is going
to get without any delay" was the
comment of Charles r. Forbes, head
of the Public Works Department, and
ex-officio member of the Maui Loan
Fund Commission, on his return from
inspecting the source of supply up
lao Valley, late Wednesday evening,
Mr.. Forbes arrived from Honolulu
Wednesday evening. He had visited
the intake up the Valley, and was on
his way to Olinda before $3.50 O'Clock
the following morning.
According to Mr.. Forbes the details
for the needed improvements TO give
Wailuku and Kahului an adequate sup
ply of pure water, should be put
through at once. Nineteen thousand
dollars are available from the loan
fund for this work, which will not be
sufficient, but Mr.. Forbes believes that
the County should find funds from
other sources to make up the balance.
He estimates that total of $35,OOO
will be needed.
In general the plan contemplates the
building of a small concrete dam at a
point we'll above any likely source
of contamination, together with set
Ting basin. From this 1Oinch line
Is to carry the water down the valley
to Main and Market streets. From
this point 6-inch line will cross the
sandhills to Kahului. This, Mr.. For
bes states, will give both Wailuku ana
Kahului plenty of water for all pres
ent domestic needs, estimated at some
100000 gallons daily, and it will be
the basis of much greater supply
later when needed.
Water For Shipping.
Mr.. Forbes states that in extending
the 6-inch main to Kahului the county
should count on supplying the ship
ping in that port with water, which
he declares would repay the countys
part of the expense in five years time
At a meeting of the loan fund com
mission held yesterday morning, which
was attended by Chairman w. F. Po-
que, DR.. ]. H. Raymond, S. e. Kalama,
and Mr.. Forbes, the latter presented
his conclusions regarding the water
works system, and these were gener-
ally approved. A committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the County's
rights in the matter OF water, ana 10
also confer with the supervisors re-
garding the supplying OF tne 9lo,oVo
needed in addition to the amount
available from the loan fund. The
idea was expressed that this should
be attended to with al possible eX-
pedition in view of the serious situa-
ton which at present exists.
Bad Water, Little Of 1t.
Mr.. Forbes learned within few
hours after he got here, that Wailuku
and Kahului people are at present
compelled to use water of question
able quality, and also that there is a
very inadequate supply of what there
is. He was told that Wailuku is fire.
quently without water during certain
hours of the day, and that Kahului
depends upon water that can be drawn
at night when the Wailuku people are
asleep; because Wailuku takes all
there is during the day time.

Judge EdingS Likely
To Leave Maui Soon
InSiStanCe of Washington Cause of
His Accepting Honolulu Bench
Regret Among Maui People.

Word is expected from Washington
daily by Judge Edings that he has
been appointed to succeed Judge WHIT
ney, of the First Circuit Court, Homo
lulu. Just who is to succeed Judge
Edings on the local bench is not def
nitely known, although it is rumored
that ]. Wesley Thompson, assistant
U. S. district attorney lis slated for
the job. A rumor has also come from
Honolulu to the effect that Attorney
Eugene Murphy is to have the place.
Judge Edings did not seek the
change, which it seems quite certain
he is to make. In fact it is known
that the Judge is loath to accept the
new appointment, since he likes Maui
and is not partial to again taking up
his residence in Honolulu. Also there
is very general regret expressed
among attorneys and other residents
of Wailuku, that Judge Edings will
likely leave. During the year that he
has occupied the local bench he has
made many friends and no enemies.
The change, it is understood, has
all been arranged in Washington, and
although Judge Edings expressed his
disinclination to be transferred, he
has been so insistently urged that he
cannot well refuse.

Kula WaterwOrkS
TOBe StOrm-Center
Committee Said to Have Warm Report
Ready for Next Weeks Meeting of
Supervisors.

What it is declared, will be a report
of the red pepper variety, is being pre-
pared by the committee of the board
of supervisors, appointed some time
ago to look into the administration of
the Makawao warerworks system. The
committee is composed of ID. T. Flem-
ing, Philip Pali and S. E. Kalama
1t has been busy in going over the
books of the superintendent, and dur
ing the first part of the week the men,
bers spent some time in going over the
district served by the system.
The report will be made at the meet
ing of the board which begins next
Wednesday. 1t is stated that the board
finds that there has been much mis-
management and carelessness in hand
ling the business of supplying water
through Kula and Makawao, through
which the county has lost much mon
ey. People have used water for long
periods without paying for it, an
there is said to be much other evi-
dence of lack of system and business
methods. It is understood that the
committee has gone further than to
simply criticize, and has a compre-
hensive plan to outline for the reor-
ganization of the entire waterworks
administration.
