PLEAOf FORBES
Public Works Superintendent
Declares Cesspools Of
City Are Dangerous

Emphatic protest against the talked
of plan of issuing city and county
bonds for the construction and i'm
provement of roads rather than any
other improvement is given in an in
terview which the Star Bulletin had
today with Charles r. Forbes, super
intendent of public works.
While Forbes makes it clear that
he is not against the plan to build
roads he declares that the sewer ques.
tion from a matter Of sanitation Is
much more to the city and county OF
Honolulu than the road question and
should be first in Importance should
a bond issue be made.
Roads are not the only municipal
improvements necessary" declares the
superintendent, ailor are they the
most Imperative. To my mind the
sewerage question of this city is not
understood by citizens.
Sanitation is Essential
Sanitation and health are above all
ether concerns, and I .helieye we can
not have them insured 20 us with
the present system of cesspools in
many parts of the city.
ASK the sanitary engineer of the
board OF health, or interview Col. r.
G. Ebert and Mai. Charles A. Ragan
for their views.
81 veritably believe that every per-
son who has looked into this ques-
ton with any amount of study will
give 1t as his opinion that sanitation
Is the most vital question with which
we are concerned. IL question of
bonds for sanitary purposes were
brought up and an educational cam
paign waged among citizens along
lines of sanitation the taxpayers
would support us as whole.
ITO my mind" continues, Forbes,
mo persons are so we1isfitted to pass
on this question as the medical off,
GERS stationed here. Port surgeons
have given great deal of study to
the question Of sanitation and are held
strictly responsible for the health in

Military Posts Are Models
DO our citizens get the same pro-
lection? Should not the laws of the
city and county regarding health be
as rigidly enforced as in military

perfume when the city is enjoying |
