at the public baths the same kind of protection.
I If all the hotels. boarding houses and clubs along
the beach from west of Fort De Russy to Diamond
Head would cooperate, system of protection could
I've built up at small pro rata cost. Nlnety-hye
per of the bathers concentrated in stretch
of few hundred Yards and patrol could be estab-
1 lished without difficulty. r..
/ Ii is proposed that lighthouses which rent bath
ing suits or canoes and clubs as well, should be
responsible for looking after the protection of bath
ers long they are i'll the water. In such event
if an unskied swimmer should. near nightfall. get
into trouble he would not be struggling for life in
water deserted and oyershadowed by dusk from
those on shore. Guards would be near and. after
a little experience, such guards would warn poor
swimmers from the water when twilight began to
fall. ....""
| Another suggestion is that all owners of private
beach-frontage should be required to place danger,
signs at troublesome spots along their property.
Public bathing resorts it is assumed, would also
be required to do this 1t would be mpraeticable
for private owners to keep forever warning people
not to swim in their waters, but danger-sgns would
mark deep holes the spots where strong currents
would be apt TO confuse and exhaust the inexperi.
fenced swimmer.
These suggestions are brought out by an editorial
in the Star-Bulletn yesterday showing that al
though close to 10000 persons bathed daily at At
lantic City beach during the season just closed,
there was not single loss of life. Adequate safe
guards made this wonderful record possible.
Honolulus bathing is as safe that of
any seabeach of considerable size in the world 1t
has been declared absolutely the safest by several
competent critics. For careful swimmers with no
physical weaknesses there is no danger. And it is
not so much to guard against the few and compare
lively slight elements of danger the beach itself
as to protect the inexperienced bather the weak
bather the one subject to cramps or heartfailure,
that these suggestions are made.
If the objection is offered that Honolulu does not
wish to advertised danger at Waikiki, it may be said
in absolute to this attitude that such precau
tons advertise safety instead of danger. Honolu
lans know the situation perfectly we'll and are not
at all afraid of Waikiki. And the majority of Wis
itors who will patronize the beach are accustomed
to seeing at mainland resorts much more elaborate
facilities for protection and rescue than will be
cessary on the beach here.

SAFEGUARDS AT WAIKIKI.

A Honolulan thoroughly acquainted with the
bathing conditions at Waikiki and deeply interested
in seeing the reputation of this splendid beach main
tanned, suggests that the tragedy of last Tuesday
night should awaken the city to the Importance of
furnishing an organized system of safeguards.
His method of providing such system would be
by city ordinance as is done in many if not most of
the resorts on the mainland.
1t is suggested that the supervisors should pass
an ordinance compelling every hotel or boarding
house on the beach which rents suits or canoes to
furnish protection for its patrons, both by skilled
swimmers who patrol the beaches as life-savers and
by such mechanical equipment as ifelines, lifepre-
servers which can be used quickly searchlight at
night, small easily -handled 1atbottomed boats,
and, IL found necessary, a small but swift motor
boat. The city itself should furnish to the patrons

THE CASE FOR THE BOND ISSUE.

Supervisor Hatch and Supervisor Logan put th
case for the municipal bond issue before the Ad Gu

up lingering doubts in the minds of many taxpayer
and voters
The Star-Bulletin published their talks in full be
cause they were dealing with the most pressing i'm
mediate question before Honolulu today. From tllei
addresses the following points may be picked out
answering certain objections raised to the bon'
plan:
