.NUUANU RESIDENTS
DEMANDING Relief
and DECENT WATER
Declare Condition of Reservoir
Liquid is Intoierahle;; Many
Get Water Downtown

. It was announced this afternoon that
meeting Of Nuuanu residents has
been called for next Monday even.
ing at the Country Club to discuss the
water situation, and that Or. y. S. B,
Pratt, president of the board Of health
and Fred G. Kirchhoff, city water
superintendent, will be asked to attend
andspeak from their knowledge Of the
facts. ,
Nauanu residents are stirred to in
dignant action by the condition Of
Nuuanu reservoir water, and this
morning there was the beginning OF
united action. 49,.
Meeting downtown and talking
over the situation, a half dozen bust.
nessmen declared that relief must be
furnished the section within a few
days, and that schemes which will
take year or two to work out will
not meet the emergency.
Among those who this morning be-
gan canyassing the situation are
George a. Angus, Attorney w. w.
Thayer, Professor john NJ. Young,
Walter L. Emory and Albert F. Judd,
That so per cent of Nuuanu resi-
dents are, now coming downtown
every day and getting pure water in
containers; that everybody has to
boil the Nuuanu liquid, and that such
of the liquid as flows through the
pipes is dirty and ill-smelling-to
disagreeable even to battle in-are
some of the conditions which have
aroused the district to- righteous
anger.
The presence of typhoid is the last
straw" say the Nuuanu folk. ut is
obvious that if the board of health
were forced to forbid this entire dis
trict from using the surface water
from the reservoirs, provision would
be made for US to get artesian water.
what we want is to get this water
without delay, without waiting for
the final emergency. An emergency
exists now. We. know there are
many millions of gallons of artesian
water running to waste in the city
now-water which is available for
the city. The Hawaiian Electric COM
pany, Oahu Ice company, Rapid
Transit company and Young hotel all
have artesian water and after it is
used in the plants it runs to waste.
This water is perfectly good. n
I'VE of Nuuanu are paying for good
water and we are entitled to get good
water. Talk of a filtration scheme is
all right, but the talk is getting us
nowhere so far as the present emery
ency is concerned.
''Nuuanu water is not safe from
typhoid and We feel that immediate
relief should be forthcoming 1t Is
time that Honolulu should recognize
that an emergency exists and should
take steps adequate to cope with an

But as the Maru commander,
Captain A. Tqtaka, is responsible
for his return to the Orient, he
would take no chances with the

him locked up.
A Teutonic turn to- his accent,
the fact that he is educated and
