The BuIetin believes that The writer Of the foregoing
communication expresses the sentiment Of the great major
y OF the people IN connection with the installation of water
meters. Certainly this is the opinion until such time as
more searching investigation can be given to the admins
aton OF and figures gwen out coming from the water
bureau OF the Public Works Department.
The report made by the special committee of the MerCh
ants Association brings this fact home.
That report declares for wafer meters after having shown
by the figures Of the Superintendent Of Public Works that
The profit made on the water works under the present syS
tenn OF management expended in making up the deficit OF
the sewer system.
Why under the should the sewer system shortage be
charged against the water works?
There is no doubt much waste in the water bureau But
even with the unsatisfactory figures the necessity for an in
OF water rates for houSehoderS through the nStaa
ton OF meters apparent only because of the deficit that
must be made up the management of the sewer SYSTEM
The present scheme OF handling the system and
dcaVorng to make pay fer ITSELF is abom;naton
there any charge properly made against the general rev.
of the city or Territory ii is the charge for sanitation
Nearly everyone in Honolulu believes in free garbage. Is
there any why should not also be free? It is
ridiculous to talk about cleaning up the town and keeping
permanently clean when the scheme for doing this is an at
tempt to force householder to connect with the sewer and
then make nm pay sewer rate for the protection not only
Of himself but of his neghbor who does not and will not con-
meet with the sewer SYSTEM
The scheme is utterly wrong and so recognized by the
Merchants Committee in its recommendation.
According to the figures that have been given there seems
TO be no reason why the water rates to shipping cannot
Nedatey be reduced the water bureau is relieved of the
incubus OF the sewer lpkeep And it IS an open question
whether after being properly investigated the water bureau
would not be found able to stand the pressure of immediate
reduction OF the excessive prices charged liners and
still not show deficit

 One of the most dangerous ordeals the firemen had to face was shower of granite chips, many of them large enough to crush man, which peeled off the facade of the building when subjected to the intense heat on one side and icy cold on the other.
 Aided by searchlights from the lof- ty Singer Building, firemen began a systematic search of the third floor tonight, for the body of Battalion Chief Walsh Masses of ice covering the debris made their work exceeding ly difficult with little prospect that the body could be found until the ice had been cut away.
 The ice according to Chief Kenlon was all that was holding the weak ened walls of the structure together in some places and he expressed the fear that as soon as this Icy cement melted, the remainder of the build ing might collapse.
 As soon as was possible. news of the extent of the blaze was telephon- ed to Mrs. E. H. tHarriman, who was informed that the records of the Hartman railway system had been destroyed
 Are they all gone. I mean all that haven't been removed before?" ask ed Mrs. Hartman.
 s'That part of the structure Is de- stroyed,, was the response.
 Well, let's be thankful. the fire has not destroyed the railroads" said Mrs. Hartman.
