Waikiki Water Works-For several
years past Waikiki and Kahului have
been hoping for a system of water
supply from lao Valley. The Legisla-
tur voted the necessary appropriation
and several beginnings were made,
but heretofore nothing has been ac-
complished. At one time the pipe was
SEN here, but for some unexplained
reason it was reshipped to Honolulu,
Finally the people of Waikiki and
Kahului became insistent, and aided
by a Honolulu press, have finally in
duced the government to begin work.
Under the supervision of Mr.. ]. T.
Taylor, plans have been drafted for
reservoirs land pipe lines, lands, right
of way and water rights have been ac-
quired and pipe ordered from the
Coast. The pipe arrived on the S. S.
Cleveland and is now at the Waikiki
Depot.
A recent letter from Mr.. Taylor
brings the pleasing news hat he is
coming to Waikiki as soon as possible
to begin the actual work of construc-
ton. There is no scarcity of labor
here for that purpose and the next
few months will probably see the COM
pletion of our long hoped for and
waited for water works.

Long today received from the Board
of Naval Construction two reports on
the Holland submarine boats. The
Holland Company had offered to sell
Holland to the government for
S165, 900; to embody certain improve
ments in her and sell her for $40, 900,
or finally to build two newer and
boats for $4,000. A majority
report of the Board rejected the pro-
position. A minority report advised
the Holland and ordering two
boats.
