for a water commission in this island
If this DILL be enacted into law every own

PEELED to provide storage capacity on his
property for 1000 gallons of water for
every occupant. Since some properties
are occupied by twenty or more per
sons (chldren included) there would be
a number of properties required to con
struct small reservoirs.
The members of the water commission
would be the Commits sioner of Public
Health, the Commissioner of Public Vel
fare and the Superintendent of Public
Works. The Commission would be au-
thorized TO set up regulations. and
violation of these regulations. whe Their
directly or Indirectly would b e
punishable by fines of not more than $500
or Imprisonment CT not more than six
months or both.
Large families would not find It easy
to get living quarters, since only such
places az shall have provided small reser
voirs could legally accommodate them.
Owners of property should cooperate
in supplying water for their tenants,
but if the law be applied as proposed
the rents will be increased to repay the
cost of constructing clsterns and this
would fall TOO heavily 90 the poor PEG

These services, together with the
health campaign conducted in the
public schools, sanitary provisions
