WATER MASTERS WILL
PAY FOR WHAT THEY USE

ly," said Mr.. Campbell, the depart
ment chief, yesterday, "and I find that
all the big cities use water meters. No
one objects to them there. Another
thing I found out, that is, that the
rates for water per gallon are bigger
in practically every city on the main
land than they are in Honolulu. y
The right of the department to install
water meters was granted by the last
Legislature, which also gave the depart
ment the power to collect delinquent
sewer rates. Under that power the de-
partment is fling suits in the district
court and the money for rates for the
past six years is commencing to pour
in The filing cf suit brings quick
results in most cases.
"And the beauty of it is said Mr..
Campbell. "that the money people are
now paying for sewer rates is going
straight into a fund for the upkeep,
extension and repair of the sewer sys-
tenn, just as the water rates are being
collected into fund for the extension
and maintenance of the waterworks

PETERS BREAKS UP
A DRUNKEN BRAWL

Officer Peters did some good work
when he broke up drunken row at
Aala Park this morning about 1870
o clock. Two marines and two equally
alcoholized forecastle hands from ships
in port were trying to see how many
spices they could put in the main
brace.
The sailors won out in the COMPETE
ton so the marines thought they would
heave tackle out to leeward and cop
tho forecastle poeketbooks. One of
the marines ran so fast that he escaped
into the shade of a pake store. The
other also ran but was captured several
blocks away, where the patrol wagon
picked him up sobbing and attempting
to do the crazy act.
Fahrelson from the Mary Wrinkle
man was one of the sailors, while the
other confessed to being from the
Prosper They were both very much
under the influence of liquor and should
both have been locked up.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-06-25

In looking around Honolulu, the in
spectors of the Public Works Depart
ment have prepared list of one hun
bred and twenty persons and lnstltu-
tions who are thought to be wilfully
wasting water from the waterworks
mains. For these six score, water
meters are being prepared and will be
installed within a very short while, af-
ter which any waste of water can be
collected for. The idea is that when it
costs more to let a tap run than to
turn it off, it will be turned off. More
than that, it is expected that the en-
ployment of meters will result in the
tightening up of T lot of leaky joints
and dripping taps all over the city,
the consequence being that the expense
of maintaining the waterworks system
will be less and the careful consumer
will not have to pay for what water
the careless one wastes.

THE MAYOR HAS SOME
IDEAS IN RE THE AUTO

Mayor Joe Fern doesn t know for
sure whether or not he wants that
automobile, after all, when the condi-
lions with which the Supervisors have
surrounded it are taken into considera-
ton. The idea that the Mayor should
not be allowed the use of the buzz
buggy in the evenings is troubling the
Chief Executive of the City and Coun-
ty, and he expresses himself in no
qualified terms.
1T is foolishness,' says the Mayor,
81 to think that l would have to call
special meeting of the Board of Su-
pervisors every time / wanted to use
the automobile after dark. What do
the Supervisors think? Do they think
that / will keep going day and night
in the machine! When a man sits in
that office of mine all day, III tell
you he feels like going home and rest
ing in the evening. He doesn't feel
like going out on moonlight joy-rides. ,
But if I had to make call, or had
some official business to attend to in
the evening, would it be necessary for
me to get the permission of the board
before [ could use the machines
cit was my idea to have a four
seated machine SO whenever commit
tee of the board wanted to make a
trip of inspection there would be room
for myself and three members of the
committee | would take them around.
But if the machine is to be used by
everybody-why, what S the use? The
