PERFUMES BEACH

An excellent argument in favor OF
more sewer facilities at Waikiki was
presented Sunday morning when the
cesspool of the Moana Hotel broke.
releasing considerable filth into the
stream between the hotel and the Out
rigger Canoe Club grounds.
At 1920 Sunday morning a gang
of Japanese was at work shoyeling
sand into the hole to close it up and
get rid OF the STENCIL, which at that
time was so strong that the only way
not to smell 1t would have been to pin
a clothespin over ones nose. No
sewage was seen flowing out of the
cesspol break at that time, although
before that hour good deal is be
lieved to have flowed dwon the stream
into the waite. of the beach at Wal
kiki."
The Star-Bulletin made five, at
tempts this morning to locate some
official of the Maona who could give
the hotels side of the story, but up
TO noon no one had been found who
knew anything about the break.
