WAILUKU STILL
IN SORRY PLIGHT
County officials Begin to Wake Up
and Seek for Some Temporary Re-
lief; New Main is Only Permanent
Solution.

Wailuku residents still complain and
protest over the water shortage and
conditions have shown no real i'm
provement during the past week. Last
Tuesday afternoon from five o'clock
until nearly seven there was not sufti
cient pressure to throw a stream of
water to the top of one story build
ing. Every morning and practically
every evening of the week the con-
ditions have been very little better
than they were on Tuesday. But there
appears to be an 2wSkening to the
seriousness of the situation among the
county officials.
Will Use Tanks
In an effort to alleviate the condition
the county engineer and superintend-
ent of water works are having con-
nection made with the formerly used
tanks so that they may be filled at
night and thus furnish a part of ka-
. hului's supply. They think it may
help Wailuku but the conditions eX-
planned last week of the new six
inch pipe drawing frfom the old pipe
with it's smaller interior space will re-
main. When it is found the tanks do
1ot leak and they have tPen shielded
hey will be put in use.
Supervisor David T. Fleming spoke
strongly on the seriousness of the
situation in the News Office this week.
Certainly, the situation is serious,
nd equally surely something must be
done," said Mr.. Fleming. Permanent
relief cannot be secured until an eight
inch main down to the six inch main
is put in / am sure the board of
supervisors will do all it can to secure
such improvement at the earliest pos
5ble moment l shall bring the mat
Ter up at the next meeting if Wal
luku people do not.
Users Must Save
But meantime something must be
done. The engineer is putting the
tanks in shape as one means of possi
BILE relief. Another which l consider
most important is to change hours
for watering lawns and gardens. There
should be, under present circum
stances, only morning hours for use
of hose and taps for those purposes
Such use, when there is need OF wa
ter for bathing purposes as in the late
hours of the afternoon, is unWarranteo
81 like to see beautiful lawns anC
flowers as we'll as any one else does
but water for bathing, for household
purposes and for sanitary purposes Is
far more important than green ant
brilliant hued setting for our homes
Look at the condition of many of the
cane fields! Look at the dying eucaly
ptus and other trees up Makawac
way 1t seems to me the height Of
selfishness to use water for garder
irrigation at hours that deprive Other
folk from securing a supply for per
sonal and household use"

evident that it will be most welcome
addition to the places of amusement
on Maui and highly popular in Wal
luku. 1t has a seating capacity of
$50, with accommodations for 500 on
the orchestra floor and for 250 in the

Good ventilation and airiness of the
house is insured by the fact that
above the panneling, which extends
up seven feet, the building is screen
ed on the sides to the roof.
| Mr. Ahbach has made quick com
pletion of his work under present day
conditions for it was started in Au
gust. In addition to this work Wal
lullu the contractor built the Gesnel
garage, remodeled the Orpheum build
ing and the Maui Garage and Trans
portation building and has finished
other minor contracts. He will leave
on the Maui for a hurried visit to the
States, expecting to come back or
her return voyage.
Future Plan
| On his return, Mr. Ahlbach says, hC
will be one of an organization whicl
will put on the market a Residential
district for Wailuku and construct
homes for purchasers who may desire
| such work.
| The management of the theatel
says it is uncertain what will be done
with the Orpheum. 1t may be con
tinued or may be used from time tC
time only or may become garage.

Joy Riders Bump Into
Wall and Leave Stain
Of Blood on Tenders

JOY riders, or one of them at least,
came to grief early Sunday morning
as evidenced by blood stains on the
dash board and one of the tenders of
the stolen machine when il was re-
covered.
When a resident of Paia named
Char was ready TO leave the Ameri-
can Legion dance at Kahului about
one o'clock, Sunday morning he could
not find his machine, it had been ap-
propriated.
Between 1890 and l o'clock Sunday
morning occupants of the Maui Hotel
heard u crash and the breaking OF
glass. Hurrying out they saw an
automobile against Athe wall 1t the
corner of High AM Main streets in
front of the law om of Eugene Muir
ply, where the JOY riders had come
10 sudden halt aNinst the wall be-
sides the hydrant. MOI a sign of the
/ former occupants OF the car was to
be seen They had disappeared in
less than two minutes, but one OBJ
server said he saw two figures disap-
/ pearing and from the size he thought
them half grown boys.
Damage to the car consisted of a
/ broken wind shield, bent fender and
a punctured tire, according TO Deputy
Sheriff Cummings, who investigated
the affair. Evidently one of the oc'
cupants of the car had been pitched
forwarded into the lower half of the
wind shield and the blood stains dis
covered next morning were the con
sequence of the injuries sustained.
Until next morning it was MOI
known in Wailuku that the car which
went into the wall had been stoler
but it was thought strm ge he ownel
should disappear so quickly. Sunda!
morning the sheriff's Office was notified
and was able to reply the car haC
been found.
There has been found no clue L
the identity of the JOY riders.

PHONE COMPANY'S
REQUEST GRANTED
Two Minor Changes Made By Reduc-
ing Of Tolls One Cent So That War
Tax Need Not Be Charged; Public
Is Disappointed.

Over the objections of the telephone
users of Maui the Maui Telephone Co.,
is permitted by the board of public
utilities to raise its rates and intro.
duce a toll system as the company
asked. There are only two modifica-
tions in the charges as asked by the
company and as granted, between
Wailuku and Lahaina and Wailuku
and Makawao the toll rate allowed
is IA cents instead of Is cents. In
making the change those tolls are re-
Guced to come within the figure over
which war tax is levied.
Manager T. A. Brown of the tele-
Thone company received a wireless
message at II o'clock, Wednesday
morning announcing the granting of
PERMISSION to the company to put in
10 operation its proposed rate and toll
charges with the two changes mention
ed.
Effective At Once
The new schedule of charges be-
comes operative today and notices
are being mailed by the company to
its patrons. In another column OF
this issue of the News the new rates
1l I puDllSutu III luil III all duNSI-
tsement inserted by the telephone
company. Permission for the change
is Tor a six months trial of the plan,
as was asked of the utilities board.
Keen disappointment and dissatis-
faction at the action of the commits
| sion is being voiced by nearly all of
the business men who had heard of
the disregarding of the expressed
wishes of Maui folk. 1t was freely
| forecast that a considerable loss of
business would result, that free social
and business intercourse between
various points on central Maui would
end or such intercourse be very
much limited and that it would re-
suit in fewer subscribers with conse-
quent loss in the value of the service
offered.
Fair Trial Asked
| Manager Brown asks that the pro-
gram be given fair trial. He ex-
poets that patrons will be more care
full in phone use than before they had
to pay toll calls but expects phone
user to get through with all he has
to transact with the person he calls
up in single conversation instead of
putting in several calls to do so as
he says, has been the custom under
the old system. In that way he hopes
that the necessary increase in earn.
| ings to meet costs and expenses will
be had and at the same time the bur-
den of traffic will be reduced for the
company.

All Maui Asked to
Join in Clean Up
Committees Will Notify Property Own
erS of What is Desired and Trucks
and Wagons Are Ready to Cart
OFF All Trash.

Monday next will be the first day
Maui. Governor Mccarthy has named
October 8, as Fire Prevention or clean
up day but Maui will follow the eX-
ample set by Honolulu and by some
of the towns of other islands, which
is generally in vogue or the Main
land and devote the whole week to
cleaning up, to making Maui less in
danger of fire and less in danger from
disease and insect breeding filth and
clutter as well.
Officials Get Busy
Following the proclamation of the
governor which set October 8 for Ha
waii nei to make itself spick and span
George Weight, chief sanitary inspec-
tor of the board of health took the
subject up with Sheriff Crowell and
Chairman Kalama of the board of su
pervisors and the decision for clear
up week was reached Committees
are being named in each town and q
systematic plan has been laid out.
Cleaning up, it is pointed out, does
not consist merely of raking up dried
leaves and other litter in the front
yard to be carted away. 1t means
cleaning up litter in which fire might
kindle and which is unsightly and un
sanitary wherever it may be about the
place, front or back. it is immaterial
all trash should be got together and
| carted away. In many places there is
rotting lumber and timbers that is
useless but is a breeding place fol-
cock-roaches, insects and pests. That
is one of the things to be disposed of
| Old junk that cannot be realized OF
should be put in the refuse pile, il
| fact everything that cutters up 6
| place, is unsightly and of no value
| should go and weeds should be pulled
and a thorough cleaning time had.
1t will be the duty of the com
| tees 10 go from house to house anC
call attention Of owners to what i!
| desired. Then county wagons anC
other wagons, borrowed OF otherwise
secured for the purpose will go about
| from house to house and from yard t
yard and carry away what has beer
set aside for such disposition.
Last year such a system was work
ed in one town on Maui, Lahaina, anC
for ten days trucks and wagons wer'
kept busy carrying away loads of de
bris and trash. In no other communi
ty were the trucks kept busy even TO
a full day. This year it is designed
to have all the county follow Lahai
mas lead and the plan that worket
so well there is the one selected.
The committees will do their par
in notifying, the county will be read
with vehicles and men to do its part
the taking away, and it's up to tn
property owners to do their part i
making their places clean and slightly
more sanitary than they have bee
during the past year.
