tried gave but little temporary relief.
While visiting in Los Angeles | was
told to try Akoz | was skeptical, OF
course, but to please a friend did.
Getting some of the external and in
ternal preparations ! used them &C
cording to directions. In few days
was astonished to note great i'm
provement. In a few weeks all traces
of eczema had gone. Also foT years
had been bothered more or less with
rheumatism but since taking the Akoz
mineral water for eczema all forms
of this ailment have also left me.

Improvement Scheme to Be
Taken Up in Six Months,
Despite Opposition

Property owners and lessees on
Hotel street, between Nuuanu and
River, handed in protests last night in
sufficient numbers to postpone the
street Improvement project for pc
Rod Of six months. Protesting owners
represented 5S.6 per cent of the Hotel
street residents, while protesting les
sees amounted to approximately 15.4
per cent,
Before the vote for postponement
had been taken several OF the super
visors declared that though they
would delay the undertaking, through
being forced by law, they Intended to
take il up again as soon as the six
months period has expired.
l.. L. McCandless, the only proper
ty owner In the district to file YER
bal protest as well as written one,

objected to paying any portion OF the
cost Of street Improvement other
than the regular taxes which he turns
over annually.
More Streets Need Work.
He stated the belief that the city
is going into its street Improvement
work In too much of retail manner,
and suggested that more streets ought
to be considered in the downtown Sec

NSALVATION
OF WATER WORKS
Harry Murray's Annual Report
Shows Enormous Wastage
Per Capita in Honolulu

IL Honolulu should install com

city in place of the present flat rate
basis. charging under the meter sys
TEN a rate of-61a' cents a thousand
gallons, such as is now paid for the
few meters that are installed, the
revenue to the water department
would be increased by $121,023 annu'
ally over the present revenue.
This is stated by Harry K. Murray
general manager of, the water and
sewer departments, in his annual re-
port just filed with the city clerk.
Total receipts of the water depart
ment, according to the report. taking
into consideration shipping receipts
at $1.50 a thousand gallons, and the
various service and other receipts.
amounted to s1S9,0796S. The num-
Der of gallons delivered during the
year, exclusive of shipping. which
amounted to, %. 16S,O97 gallons, was
500, SOC, 900 gallons, which makes the
total water delivered 5.935,9CS,O97 gal
Ions.
In his estimate. of increased revenue
which a meter system would bring,
Murray allows a margin of 20 per
cent to take care Of loss in delivery.
A charge of cents would produce
$3.50, 1872: 5h cents would produce
$500, 07S.50, and cents $236.435, all
of which figures are higher than the
present revenue.
$4,000 Served by City.
THE population of Honolulu" says
the report, lis estimated at $4,000. or
this number not more than 10000 are
served with city water. On the basis
of $4,000 consumers the daily per cap
tia consumption of the city of Homo
lulu is 324 gallons. z
Honolulu needs an abundance of
water but the quantity we now use
is beyond reason and serves to show
that our taxpayers are content with
an unnecessary expenditure Of their
funds.
The enormous per capita consump-
tion of the city is caused either from
leaks in the distributing system or in.
fixtures, through wastefulness on the
part of the privilege-holder, or through
irrigation"
Meterings the city would cut down
this enormous consumption in the be-
lief of the water manager. Inspection
of faucets by the city would be an al
most endless task.

MOTHS THREATEN
BEAUTIFUL TREES
Spraying Campaign Against
Pests Which are Injurious.
IMMEDIATE ACTION is NEEDED
Z. II. Guyer States Steps Should BE
Taken at Once TO Prevent De-
structiye Work of Insects.

Rock Island will lose its beautiful
trees unless a municipal spraying
campaign is inaugurated at once. ac-
cording to f. H. Guyer, who says the
tussock moths are rapidly making in
roads on tree life.
In many eastern cities, steam sprays
have been purchased and a systematic
effort is being made to destroy the
pests. In Oak Park, city-wide effort
is in progress against the moths, and
a total of 120 pounds or about 100000
caterpilIars has been turned in. The
elm tree beetle which has been
brought to this country from Europe
is also proving injurious to trees.
Immediate Action Needed.
Il think the situation is serious
said Mr.. Guyer in discussing the mat
ter with a representative of The Ar
gus. Rock Island can be prouder of
nothing it possesses more than its
trees. Davenport has already taken
steps against the moths, who eat the
leaves and destroy the life of the
trees
The female insects do not have
wings and are therefore easily caught
by tangle foot, which is a sticky sub
stance which can be painted or
sprayed on the trees. l have been
working on the trees at my own place
but it is difficult to reach the top
branches. The only satisfactory
method to be followed would be
through a municipal steam sprayer.
am hoping the city commission, the
Woman's club or some other agency
will take up the matter at once"
