WATER A MENACE
Points to New Yerk's Croton
Dam to Prove Local Reser-
voir Perfectly Safe T..

Harry Murray, manager of the city
water department, cites numerous
facts to refute the governors declara-
ton that Reservoir No. is insanitary.
Asked this morning how Honolulu's
surface water supply compared with
that Of other cities Ae reached for a
big red book on top of his desk and
opening il at a well-thumbed page
pointed to renort on the condition
of New York City's water supply.
".fhis comes from Croton dam, 80
miles north of the farthest bounda-
ries OF the city," he declared. The
city spent millions to get it. They got
the best water they could. Look and
see what sort of a reservoir it is.
Read that"
His questioner read, but Murray
beat him to it." "The drainage area
of the reservoir is inhabited by 25,.
600 people," he declared, without a
glance at the book. A look confirmed
his remark; as it did all his subse-
the reservoir sooner or later. There
are Is miles of railroad track on the
drainage area, within 80 feet of the
flow line. There are Is railroad
bridges, with an aggregate length Of
100 feet. Sewage from the passen-
ger trains enters the reservoir prac-
tically row. There are 10 highway
bridges over the flow line, There are
"a square miles of swampy land in
the drainage area. Wash from the
roads and runoff from the farm lands
all runs into the reservoir. Much of
the water is filled with a microscopic
vegetable = growth. Reports of SCI
entists who have examined the water
show it to be of a heavy turidity. a
marked color. often fishy or otherwise
disagreeable in taste.
IF New York can stand for water
like that while waiting for money for
a filtration plant, and they have been
waiting number of years now, |
| guess HonolRlu can stand water that
cannot possibly be contaminated by
humans or animals, for no trespassing
is allowed on the water reservation. :

DO THIS FIRST-YOU!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up won-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion aftersickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

GOVERNOR DISPUTES
MURRAY'S FIGURES; HE
COMES RIGHT BACK

Governor Pinkham disputes the
statement of the manager of the water
department, Harry Murray, that the
stream in Hillebrand Glen flows near
ly 1000 900 gallons day and that the
city will obtain that much water from
it by tunneling through the mountain
side and diverting it to No. reser-
voir. The flow was measured on
March 29 and found to be $4,000 gal
Ions a day, declares the governor.
The measurement was made at the
point where it is proposed to divert
the stream The nearest rain gauge
shows q greater rainfall during March
than the average for the last 26 years.
Il think | have said enough to
show that it is best to call halt I'M
til more definite data can be OBJ
tanned"
Murray, asked for a comment on the
governors statement. declared, More
definite data is right. My figure of
nearly 100000 gallons is based on
the report of James T. Taylor, the
loan fund commissions engineer, who
reported that the average flow was
about one and threeQuarter million
gallons a day. At times 1t runs as
high as Is or 16 million gallons.
Then it fades away to almost nothing.
One days figures are worthless"
