Songs and Insectiyerous Birds

Innocent birds and animals are
not hatefully tortured.
Our Game Laws are not obey
ed. Unless we insist upon the
rigid enforcement of the game
laws our game, birds and ami
mails will become extinct.
1t is.the purpose of the Organ
ization known as the Original
Rimfire Scouts Club to aid in the
conversation of our forests, wild
birds and animals, and to pro-
tect the song birds that destroy
harmful insects. Also to insist
upon the enforcement of our
game laws.
The Citizens of Belington, and
the hunters and sportsmen should
all boost this Club and become
members when it begins to or
ganize in their town.

Wharf PROBLEM
At HILO Still
IS UNSETTLED

HILO, Aug. 17-That Hilo needs
more Wharves is the unanimous opln'
ion Of the board Of trade members,
but there seems to be a check some
where and. as one member remarked,
things seem TO be going around in a
circle. as unless some shipping com
pany guarantees TO use the wharf, 1t
will not be constructed, while the
only shipping company that seems dis
posed to use the structure will not tie
up to a contract when there is no
word of proper shed being placed on
the wharf.
It was pointed out that at a meet
ing held in Hilo this week the act
ing superintendent Of public works,
the wharf committee Of the board OF
trade and other interested people. had
considered the matter from all angles.
The sum OF $4,000 is needed for boring
work and that sum is not available.
according to Supt Hobby. 1t has
been suggested that the $4,000 be
raised in Hilo and that also the sum
Of $4,000 be raised by the issuance
OF local bonds. the preliminary money
for the boring to be paid back out OF
the bond issue later on.
1t is realized that the sum Of $3.50,
900 would not complete a suitable
wharf for big steamers, and it was
suggested by Thomas Guard that the
wharf be constructed piecemeal, the
legislatures OF the future to be asked
for further appropriations for the pur-
pose.
John Scott asked if the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co. could not ad-
vance the money which was needed
and then be reimbursed through TAX
ing it out Of the rent they would have
to pay for using the wharf.
P. T. Phillips said that the Inter
Island Co. wanted a wharf but it must
be a wharf with a shed on it. AS
to the boring operations, he had been
informed that there was no money
for any further soundings.
D. MICH. Forbes said that as the
Kuhio wharf is a white elephant"
there would be no sense in adding
to present troubles by constructing
a wharf in piecemeal fashion. Better
to wait until the next legislature ap-
more money for the pur.
pose.
1t was finally decided that the pres.
ident of the board appoint two more
members to the wharf committee,
making five in all, and that the COM
mittee continue it's labors.

sUPT. BURNAP TELLS
 OF UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS
Much has Been Done in Interests of
 Local Watersheds.

In his annual report to the court of common council Superintendent Edwin l.. Burnap of the water department makes reference to the unusual pre- cautions that have been taken dur ing the past year at the Fairview, StonYbroo and Meadow Brook wa tersheds- A summary of Supt. Bur maps report follows:
 Meadow Brook has had the usual cleaning. We kept the pond flowed the past year and this saved consider able expense, as we d1d not nave 10 mow it or cut the brush growth.
 F'airview is in the best of condition and is full at this writing. All grass and brush has been cut during the last year. We were not troubled so much the past summer with the unsanitary fishing conditions as in previous years, as we kept strict watch of same by keeping off all trespassers who went there for the purpose of fishing. The wire fence the west side of the reservoir is still in bad condition, but we will be unable to replace it this sea son, as we have so many other ways to spend the money. At present we are at quite an expense by having to keep special guards at the reservoir day and night since March 20, 1917, and this will have to be continued un- til all danger is passed.
 Stony Brook has had all possible care and the brook above the old grist mill pond, which had been sadly
 
 This season there will be more clean ing in order to keep the water in much better condition, as we were troubled last summer with quite a lit tie algae. In the future should algae appear the water will be treated with a copper treatment.
 At Stony Brook, as at Fairview, there has been extra expense for spe- cial guards and the purchasing of rifles, etc, but both reservoirs are well guarded day and night. The pond is full at this time, and we start the year with the three reservoirs oVerfowing.
 We are placing meters on all new services. but there is still a great deal of water going to waste that iss not paid for and we hope some time to see the whole city metered.
