appropriation for the Public Lands de-

Senate Bill 125, Mccarthy, empow.
ering the Superintendent of Public
Works to fix the rates for the use of
water from the Honolulu system and
authorizing him to install water meters
where necessary, was read. Kama OBJ
jected to the bill, which would make
hardship on man whose water pipes
leaked and whose faucets were not
tight. He protested against the bill
in the name of plutocracy and that of
the great middle class. He moved the
indefinite postponement.
Coney said Kama wouldn't know a
water meter if he saw one. The bill
was one to prevent the waste of water,
which was now costing the Territory
thousands of dollars. If pipes leak,
fix them, he said Properly used,
meters would reduce rates and cut down
expense of upkeep of the system. He
urged the members to get civilized and
pass the bill.
Coney quoted from the report of the
Los Angeles water commission, showing
that the use of meters saved money
all around. Under the fiat rate sys.
ten the economical man has to pay
for his neighbours waste. Through the
meter system he thought that the water
rates would be cut in halves. At pres.
ent, according to the estimate of the
department, three million gallons day
are being wasted.

Carley explained the great need of
the Kula water line. The member from
Maui made an eloquent address, telling
of the great hardships suffered by the
Kula people during the past two years
as seen by him on trip through the
porched region. He explained that

purposes, this supply for the whole dis

What the Kula people wanted was only
sufficient money to pipe proper water
supply down from the mountain. The
district to be served was country
