CAPITAL POOR SUFFER
THROUGH PROSPERITY
In Good Times, Says Secretary Uf-
ford, People Do Not Realize
Need of Giving.

Eve have come to recognize the fact
that when general conditions are pros
porous the public. from which we re-
ceive funds to carry on the relief work
of the Associated Charities, find it hard
to believe that there is the same need
for charitable aid to the destitute as
obtains in hard times" said Secretary.
Walter Ufford, in discussing the pres
ent urgent need for funds of the Asso-
ciated Charities with a representative
of The Star today.
Says Theory Is Unsound.
This theory is not sound" he con-
tinued Last year times were hard,
and. with that fact constantly before
them. those who were able gave hber-
ally for the work of assisting the less
fortunate. This year prosperity has
returned, and all are in a position to
give even more literally to those whom
the general change in conditions has
not affected.
TT has been hard winter. The
actual number of families to winch the
association is bringing aid has sllght-
" decreased. but the needs of this de-
creased number have been augmented
by the prevalence of sickness. and the
demand for funds shows substantial
increase over that of last year.
$4,000 Needed for Year.
I'VE shall need at least $4,000 to per-
nit us to carry on our work for the re-
mainder of the year We are confident
that this sum will be forthcoming when
washingtonians understand that there
are many in their city who are today
more urgently in need of their assist
ance than were those for whom they
gave SO generously in 1915.
The Associated Charities is now as
sisting approximately 500 persons. or
about 400 families. whose normal head.

QUESTIONS STATEMENTS
OF ENGINEER AND MAYOR
"HoW Lonq Would Any BuSi-
ness Last" Under Such Con-
ditions, He Asks

From a Honolulu businessman who
has been studying the question of mu-
nicipal expenditures the Star-Bulletin
has received the following critical dis
cussion of the city's expenses, with
particular reference to the recent re-
port of the grand jury:
His Honor the Mayor and the for
mer road engineer having taken excep-
tion to recent report of the grand
jury, IN so far as it relates to the
conduct of the road department, it
seems that the topic is open for dis
cussion. The mayor simply says the
report is untrue, which leaves no room
for argument, so far as he is con-
cerned. We must simply take his
word for it and let it go at that We
must, however, agree with the mayor
in one respect. A certain four miles
of good road tout of the SO miles in
question: was not mentioned specific-
ally in the grand jury report This is
very reprehensible. The grand jury.
should have made that particular four
miles of road the subject of their re-
port. The city and county admins
tration would have been pleased and
the public happy in the knowledge
that there was an excellent road
around four miles of the island of
Oahu. ..... -. II.
The former road engineer has
pointed out certain points of the re-
port in which the jury erred. One of
these is the item of $500 expended
Tor equipment In the month of May.
This. il would seem, is quite rDronerly
placed in the overhead expense. While
It is true that the money was spent
tor new equipment it was only to re.
place old machinery that had been
worn out and therefore should be

Loss of Water From No. 4 Due
to Leak in Main Pipe, Say
SedgWiek and Larrison
LONG-FAM0US TROUBLE
CAN NOW Re REMEDlED
Bad Pipes Can Be Repaired
and Rainfall Conserved in
Dry Weather +.

That the supposed seepage in Nuu-
anu reservoir No. is really leak
in the main pipe which leads out of
the reservoir, conveying water down
to the city electric light plant, and
from the sluice pipe also, has recent
ly been proved by two water experts,
Thomas F. Sedgwlck and George X.
Harrison. i. .... ~..". -: =: :
Methods employed by the two men
to ascertain the cause of wafer lose
from the reservoir consisted mainly
in shutting off the water from the
main pipe, suggestion made by Mr.
Sedgwick, thus reducing the outflow
from two springs below the dam.
Three springs exist below the dam,
two of which are beyond question d.
Tectly influenced by the flow in the
main pipe, and a third cne which
seems to gather its water from a
swamp mauka of the main pipe and
not connected with the pipe leak in
any manner. HI. IT,. r. -. ~. =.
Mr. Larrison now believes that the
actual seepage from the reservoir
through the dam structure amounts to
practically nothing. He suggests that
the reservoir should be emptied and
the bad pipes repaired as soon as
possible to still get value from the
wet seasons rains. =--- -. ~ ...~.
Two Pipes Drain Water. T.. IL.
Two parallel tipes lead out of the
reservoir, onelgoing down to the elec
tric light plant, and the other-a much
shorter pipe-serving merely as a
sluice pipe for cleaning out the reser.
voir at intervals. The sluice pipe
opens at valve some distance below
the dam. "E II" ~. ..: 49, :
