WATER SUPPLY
OF SCHOFIELD
TOBE CHANGED

Schofield Barracks is to be given a
change in water supply, beginning
within the next "a hours, in the hopes
that the typhoid epidemic there may
be checked by the transfer. -.
Arrangements have been made by
the quartermaster department to draw
water for the post from the upper
reaches of the Kaukonahua river, the
tunnels and bitches having been com.
pleted sufficiently for this to be done.
Water below the spot where contami-
nation is believed to exist will not be
used at the post after the change has
gone into effect. .....
As an additional measure of precau.
tion all of the mains at Schofield will
be flushed of the water now in them.
This will probably be done tonight.
when all the pipes can be drained
with least disadvantage to residents
there.
Brigadier General John p. Wiser,
commanding officer, expressed regret
today that a change in the site of the
guard camp has been made necessary,
but saidShe felt it was only fair to the
men going into camp.
Major Henry C. Merriam today Wis
tied a site near Haleiwa for the pur-
pose of looking it over as a possible
place for the camp.
Latest adyices from Schofield today
say there are now So positive and 81
cases at the post, or a total
of 80. This is gain If five positive
cases since yesterday. .".
DR.. ]. s. B. Pratt said today that
there is nothing new in local develop
ments. Save for cases brought in
from the outside districts there have
been no new cases since October 20,
the last reported for the city proper.
