station was established on the East Branch of the Kahana stream. 

 All of these streams were equipped with bridges on cables for 

 flood measurements. 



At the request of the Governor a reconnaissance was made of 

 the Pauoa waters. A copy of this memorandum is attached 

 hereto. 



At the request of the Deputy Attorney General an opinion rela- 

 tive to the purchase of Pauoa waters, and to the future of Hono- 

 lulu's water supply was furnished that officer. A copy of this 

 letter is attached hereto. 



Maui. 



Only routine stream gaging- and rainfall measurement work was 

 undertaken. A set of discharge measurements was made on one 

 of the West Maui ditches which disclosed the fact that the actual 

 discharge was one and one- fourth million gallons per day more 

 than was shown by the weir formula. As this water is sold at 

 $7.00 per million gallons these measurements have aroused con- 

 siderable interest both to the seller and buyer of the water.
