able irrigation is necessary to keen
the lawns in the best condition.
Conceding this point, the governor
and the superintendent explained the
artesian water situation. They told
how the artesian level is gradually
sinking year by year and how, If this
continues, as it undoubtedly will SO
long as householders may waste wa
ter without paying a financial penal
ty, the wells viii go dry or the sup
ply will become mixed with salt wa.
ter, as is already the case on some
of the other islands.
The officials explained that 1t is
not the intent to make householders
pay more for all the water they need,
both for house and lawns, than un.
der the fiat rate system. The rates
are to be readjusted as each new sec
ton OF the city is supplied with me-
tiers, and 1t is not the intent to make
the water department do more than
pay its. own expense.
Superintendent Bishop says II is
possible that eventually a rebate
rule may be adopted, under which
householders who require an unusual
amount Of water to keep their yards
and gardens in good condition and
under the metric system are paying
too heavily may obtain a rebate; this,
however. after showing that the extra
amount they have taken has been put
to good use.

SAYS GILMORE
Plan of Publicity for Beautifi'

hama Club

1T has given me great pleasure
on returning to Honolulu to see 1t
! far ahead Of cities on the mainland
in point of cleanliness. This city is
much cleaner than many of the cities
/ have visited in the States" 49,.
Such is the testimony given by
President Gilmore OF the College of
| Hawaii at the meeting of the Oahu
Central Improvement Committee last
night. This was not the only rebuff
| administered to critics of things
local on the occasion. Mrs. F. J.
Lowrey stated that a visitor to Homo
! lulu had spoken to her in high praise
of the parking of Kalakaua avenue,
which had been denounced by some
residents.
A special order of business at the
meeting was the presentation of a
publicity plan relative to the cam
paign of the outdoor circle Of the
Kilohana Club for identifying Homo
lulu. Theodore Richards, one of the
editors of the Friend, explained the
plan, it being the issue of a special
number of that periodical next
month, containing articles by we'll
kHO"n CILlHSHS uPOA FdIIOuS PAooCo
of the Identification projects the
ladies have in hand. The paper will
be finely illustrated and incidentally
a desirable souvenir of Honolulu to
send abroad Mr.. Richards solicited
the support of the committee as rep
resenting the whole city, the beauti-
fcation plans leaving out no section
to receive attention.
Mrs. Lowrey briefly detailed the
subjects of some of the articles for
the publication, which gave a fair
idea of the great scope of the beau
LITIGATION ideas being worked out
both in elimination of eyesores and
in constructive ways.
On motion of George G.. Guild the
meeting appropriated one hundred
dollars from the funds in aid of the
plan.
Mrs. Sherman, chairman of the
committee on the Floral Parade float,
reported that the committee was re-
ceiving suggestions from various ex-
pert sources and was determined to
produce an appearance in the pa
geant which would be thoroughly
representative of Hawaii and credit
able to that organization. The vice
president reported that the board of
directors had voted to double the
