constitute the Pacific coast defense. and
the Monadnock was sent north to protect

Monterey is stationed at San Francisco.
Lieut.. Perkins is the first officer OF the

large just now. May of this year stands
as a record-breaking month N the tabuIat-
ed statements maintained at the city hall.
The consumption per day during this
month Is just twice that Of May OF last
year. The inevitable conclusion, accord
ing to the figuring at the ,va-er DEPART
ment, is that there is great waste.
Authorities on municipal water systems
have stated that fifty gallons PEI capita
per diem is large enough for all coEceiva-
bic purposes. The statements prepared
by the superintendent Of the water depart

ton in Seattle is nearly three times the

Rapid Transit Company.

At the House Special Committee
meeting yesterday afternoon, the read
ing of the act for a charter for the
Honolulu Rapid Transit Company was
completed, and the matter viii early
be reported back to the major body.
During the reading the committee per-
mitted a hearing 10 a number Of the
members Of the directorate of the tenn
porary corporation. Several changes
were made in the bill. None OF these
were really vital. At one time there
was some objection to permitting a
double track under any circumstances.
but later this opposition was overcome
by clear explanation of the possible
transit needs Of the future. The House
will no doubt pass this act. 1t may be
said that as yet there has not been
shown any very pronounced opposition
to the appeal of the tram company for
extension of time for conversion to
electric power. The act for the Homo
lulu Rapid Transit Company is sup
ported by a total of 1900 signatures.
