JAPANESE COAL
FOR GERMAN
CRUISERS
-s.s~- ~ -.

With thousands of tons of Japanese
coal supplying the empty bunkers Of
German war vessels engaged in cruis-
ing the Pacific, government officials
of Dia Nippon tire now said to con,
template a marked restriction of ex-
portation, of fuel from Japan to Ma
Mia, where it declared that much OF
the icoal has been transferred to col
liers that are consorts to the TeutoniC
fighting squadron.
The question uppermost at the time
the Japanese steamer Shinyo Marn
departed from the orient was, are
Manila and the rest of the Philippines
facing a famine in coal because oil
the fact that German steamers have
been taking coal at this port and then
taking their Departure
This is question that has been
worrying the waterfront and ship
ping firms for the past two days and
in some quarters the fear,-is express
ed that the British and Japanese gov
ernments are considering plans to
restrict the shipment of coal to the
islands ssF
Mr.. Mikarfi, manager Of the Mfssui
Bussan Kaisha at Manila, is reported
as saying that he had been unofhcialiy
informed that the large shipments OF
coal made from Manila on. German
steamers for unknown destinations
were now being investigated by the
British and Japanese governments and
that he had reasons to believe that
steps would be taken to stop further
shipments. z.
He stated further that he had re,
ceiyed instructions not to sell any coal
directly or indirectly for export to a
belligerent power and that coal was
now sold in the Philippines on the UNI
Outstanding that it would be consumed
in the islands.
Should the japanese government De
under the necessity OF restricting ex-
ports to the Philippines in order to pro.
tect her own military interests, we
would still receive coal but there IS
a possibility that we would be re-
uuired by our government to ask Tor
guarantees from all dealers to provide
against abuse. =, II, y
IF the Philippine government would
assure the Japanese and British gov.
ernments that German steamers would
only be allowed TO take out sufficient
amount Of bunker coal. ] am satisfied
that there would be no restriction on
exports to the philippines.

CITY engineer BELIEVES WATER
Meters have PROVED AFAILURE

perintendent, and wlf.a their water
bills might be little If any larger, less
water would be used. At that time
the water supply problem was a Sc
rious one. During the last spring and
summer there has been no water short
age. however. because OF the frequent
heavy rainfall, and the big Nuuanu
dam has been filed to its brim for
the first time since it was built, many
years ago.
The news that the meter system is
not bringing in more revenue to the
department than IL received under the
former system doubtless will be a big
surprise to a large number of con-
sumers, whose individual bills have
been heavier. Yet such is Engineer
Wallis statement, and he says he is
ready to prove it by the figures
At the same time, however. Engi-
neer Wall, in his estimate for the fiscal
year from June 80 last, when the two
departments were. taken over by the
city and county. to June 80, mex year,
figures the total receipts in the water
department will exceed those of the
ldSI year ny dDOut SfoSL.0l. Il ne IOtdl
of the department. in the fiscal
year 1894 were S174.607 80. while
he estimates the receipts for the pres
ent year will be $179,060. The total
profit for the present year under his
figures will be s46,379.6o, as against
a profit of S7.39135 for the year end
ing June 80 last. -
Wall estimates that the city win
have far more economical admins.
tration In water and sewer work than
was had last year Whether he takes
into account the fact that the territory
spent considerable amount in inn
which the city and county
has not and is not doing. he does not
say. His figures show that the sewer
department sustained a deficit last
year Of $21,001.74 Subtrscting the
s7391.35 profit in the water department

w. A. Wall Estimates Present
Regime More Economical
Than Previous One

IF you ask me, should say the
water meter system in Honolulu is SO
unsatisfactory as to prove almos. a
failure" says City and County Engi,
neer w. A. Wall. -.
Il can show you by the figures in
scores of cases that the water depart.
ments receipts. where the meters are
in use now, have fallen far below the
receipts OF a year ago, when the flat
rate was employed.
The reason for this, / figure, is
that the meters do not function prop
erly, though those in Use are standard
quality. After they have been install
ed short time the internal mechan-
ism appears to rust or wear out, so
that 1t does not record the flow as
1t should. What causes this don't
know, unless it is some chemical con-
tent in the Honolulu water which is
destructive to metal. This Is not the
only city to have trouble with the me-
ter system, for a number Of large
municipalities on the mainland have
abolished 1t, going back to, the old
flat rate system"
Engineer Wall made this statement
in connection with the issuance of a
statistical table and estimate, where
by he argues the water and sewer de-
partments, under municipal manage
ment, will show big saving and profit
over and above the balance obtained
by them under territorial control
About a year ago, while the depart
ments we're under the control of the
territorial department of pubic works.

hundreds of meters placed on the fau-I

by the then superintendent was that
the new system was intended to con-
serve the water supply, not to increase

using water night and day on lawns
would be more careful, said the su.
