TX FISHERIES

FREE SEWER AND CARRIAGE
= ..s SYSTEM
We believe that the health and free
dom from epidemic and disease OF all
the inhabitants Of the City and Coun-
ty of Honolulu depends primarily upon
an adequate sewer system In the Dis.
trist of Honolulu. and that the growth
Of the City and County OF Honolulu
demands the extension of the exist
ing system.
We believe that the sewerage and
garbage service, as q disease pre-
ventive and compulsory health re-
quirement, should be function Of
government, and that such
service should be furnished by the
City and County of Honolulu to its
inhabitants free of charge other than
the expense Of connection with the
street sewers.

The experience OF the past four
years. has demonstrated that IN all
of its material aspects the present
liquor law Is admirably adapted to
within the territory. We
therefore pledge our Representatives
In the legislature TO resist any at
tempt to alter the laws Of the Terri
tory Of Hawaii In respect to the liquor
question, and pledge our party to q
stricter application Of the law with
