HILO. FEB. 6,-The Hawaiian Evan,
gelical Association through its artOr-
heyS, Smith, Warren. HemenEay AMI
Sutton, demand payment of the cOun,!
OF $2,J7S.S9 for water used by the iiiiU
water works from what they Claim l.
ITS water right On the PunahOa
lands. or the Coan premises. The biz
Ger the water specifies that from May
18th to January 3lst. 1913. 265 days
$4,000 gallons of water per day we. e
sed. for which they want to collect
'wo cents per thousand gallons. The!
think that this is a low estimate, they
say, because the water in Honolulu
is six and fourth cents a thousand.
The demand for the payment was
L4Ede to the county attorney. VINO
SiSors for instructions.
The bill for the water arises over
legal complications about the laud i
xolved. This is a tract upon whiI h
the attorney-generals department be-
San condemnation proceedings two
years ago and has been dragging
along in the courts every since. ~
Until last May the land was held u.-
der lease by John Scott and he had
gwen the county permission to use all
OF the water desired, which was not
required by his interests.
The attorneys state that if the bill
for the water is not paid in full, or L
settlement effected in a very short
time, that they will be compelled to
take measures to protect the interess
of their client, meaning that they will
bring suit against the county.
The bill for the water is felt to be
excessive, even if it is decided that the
county must pay for it. as there is no
just comparison between Honolulu and
Hilo water rates. Three-fourths of the
Hilo water supply is secured Irolh
ether sources and it costs the county
only about $500 a year whereas tn
that amount for one fourth of the sup
ply for eight months.

HAWAII TAX RATE IS INCREASED

HILO, Feb. 6.-Taxes in Hawaii
county are steadily on the increase,
the rate for this year being S1.38
per $100. In 1913 it was $1.23 and
in 1872, $1.1S The new rate was an
nounced by Tax Collector Forrest
early this week He was asked to
fexplain the inrease and said it was
due to two things: one of them was
increased cost of conducting the coun.
ty government, and the other the very
probable prospect that there will be
a marked decrease in plantation val
sues under the new tariff law.
r There is bound to- be. a heavy drop
in plantation property Values he de-
clared.. This. too" he continued. in
spite of the progress which has been
made in the last few years in getting
the sugar estate values increased. An
Instance of how the value of the big
estates will drop is shown by the
statement of a plantation manager to
me thar a December shipment of sugar
was marketed for just. one dollar more
than it cost to produce and ship to
the market"
Forrest, also referred to the fact
that the supervisors estimated expen.
ditures for. county current expenses
and permanent improvements, school
purposes, interest on sinking bonds
and the cost of collecting taxes al
something like 100000 more than il
was last year

ties today to an Interrogation regarding
Italy's participation in the Panama Pa

Italy already has declared her inten~

a commissioner. AS, however. the ap-
preparation is only $4,000, doubt has
arisen as to whether this will be suffi-
cient for the adequate representation of
italy. AS a consequence, special COM
mission has been appointed to ascertain
whether the sum mentioned is large
enough"
At the same time negotiations were pro-

cordial relations with the United States
Deputy Valvassori-Peroni was not sat-

CONTRACT LET FOR
WOODWARD WASHER
Will Probably Cost Over
S1OO,000-TO Be Com
pleted in Six Months

The General Machinery company of
Chicago, agent for the Link Belt COM
pany, has closed a contract to erect tho
new washer for the Woodward Iron COM
pany at Woodward. The contract price
was not given out but at is said the
washer will cost over 100000. In many
respects it will be a radical departure
from the ordinary washer. For one thing
II will be twice the capacity of any
washer yet erected in this district. it
Will be of solid steel and concrete and
absolutely fireproof. The capacity of
the washer will be about 5000 tons.
The washer Is necessary on account
of the erection at Woodward of the by
product coke ovens now under way at
very heavy cost. The coal will be
washed at Woodward for the ovens ard
1t is stated the new operations will
save the Woodward company about 90
cents per ton on the coke. In the con-
struction of the Woodward washer abou.
200 tons of steel will be used, while the
concrete requirements will be greater than
any washer ever erected here.
The contract calls for the completion
of the washer during the next six months
and II is stated this work will be ac-
complished in that length of time.
