WHAT ABOUT THE METER SYSTEM?

Investigation of the condition of the water
meters installed but comparatively short time
ago and Of the results in collected revenues
proves that it 5 up to the city either to straight
en- out the meter system or to abolish it.
Some of the instruments themselves show
scorrosion and wear of parts to a remarkable
extent after few months service. The Star
Bulletin has been shown meters in use eight
or nine months which are plainly unfit for
registering the flow of water. Whether it is
due to lack of: care or to some corroding ele-
ment in the artesian-and to a certain extent
the surface-water of Honolulu we leave it to
the engineers to say. They already differ con
siderably in what they are saying about the
meter system The fact remains that it ism It
working properly. ......:.....
The Star Bulletin is informed that the same
meters show such remarkable fluctuations in
registry as to prove offhand that they are
working wrongly or not working at all. The
city engineer is busy on report and when
il is presented to the supervisors they will have
to do some thorough probing. Consumers are
not going to pay out good money on the figures
Of mechanical system which the, city engineer
declares is grossly faulty and which any lay
man can see includes meters unfit for opera
ton.
Former Superintendent of Public Works
Campbell says that the cry that the meter sys-
tenn will not work is "all bunk" He asserts
that .tprice and not quality ruled'' in the pur-
chase of a number of the meters now in use,
which, is at least partly responsible for their
failure to work. He says also that more fire.
quent inspection and care is necessary.
If it is fact that the territory bought in
ferior water-meters, that fact should be ascer-
tained.. If lack of inspection and change of
parts is running the meters, that fact and the
cause of it shonld be ascertained.
The new board of supervisors should see to,
il that the water consumers get the truth with
out delay. Part of that truth will be state
ment as to whether the alleged saving of money
in the waterworks and sewers division has been
accomplished at the expense of service. 1t is,
reported that the engineer has not had suffi-
Gent men inspecting and checking up on
meters. If that is SO, the faults in the instru-
ments may be not all or even mostly of the
mechanical kind.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-01-12

tering less than $3.50. 46 registered
nothing at all.
In enc case s23.45 was collected
during the quarter ending June 81.
but the same meter registered just
55 cents for the following quarter end
ing Sept 80. 1914.
There is a certain variability In the
pressure Of water in the pipes, which
adds to the unreliability of the meters,
as a -. ter rated for so lbs pressure
per squire inch will not register cor.
rectly fC- - lbs. 90 lbs. or 100 lbs.
pressure per square inch.
1t appears that renewal Of the
train wheels in the meters will be re-
Quired at least every three months,
at a cost of about 50 per meter, and
that might not insure accuracy, as a
meter might be working all right to-
day and next week il might fail ut
terly. ~. ".-

EDITOR

bic On the other hand Mr.. Arthur Billiard
the wcll-knOwn war correspondent and special
writer for The Outlook, inclines to favorable
view. After criticsing what he terms British
haste to establish a protectorate over Egypt
and thus get new territory, he says:
Although allowances should be made for
Great Britain's peculiar situation, it will be
generally felt that the japanese have shown a
more scrupulous regard to the amenities of ma
tions in postponing the announcement of their
intention in regard to their conquests in the
Pacific until the matter can be discussed by her
allies at the termination of the war;

CREDIT DUE THE JAPANESE.

1.-THE Japanese in their conduct of the siege
Of Tsingtau and generally after it was captured
observed the rules of civilized war and treated
their prisoners kindly"
This statement, made by a German from
Tsingtau passing through Honolulu, is not un7
usual Repeatedly there has come from the
ssWar-zone' in the Orient testimony to the ex-
celent conduct of Japanese officers and troops
in the campaign against Tsingtau and in their
treatment of the German and Austrian prison
ers taken there. Furthermore, thenaval opera
tons of the japanese against the Marshall and
Caroline islands and other German Pacific pos
sessions are said to have been marked by the
same careful observance of the rules of war
and of the dictates of humanity.
In the foreign as well as the American press
one notices now and then statement indicat-
inc q belief that Japan obtruded herself into
the great conflict and that her entry was re-
aarded with some doubt by Great Britain. We
have seen no documentary evidence to back
this up. Indeed, not long ago the press carried
.brief dispatches apparently originating in
London that Japan's participation was first
',lpcided when Great Britain asked her Oriental
nlly what she could do to protect British COM
,,,orce in Far Eastern and Pacific waters from
German destroyers.
Janan's uncertain intentions with regard to
.bo German Pacific possessions have also oc-
.as;oned much comment, some OF it untavora-

THE RAvAGES OF WAR IN THE SUGAR
BEET FIELDS.

That the sugar beet fields in France are raw
aged by war is indicated in Associated Press
dispatches from the front, telling of the fight
ing across what was formerly rich agricultural
country.
The sugar-beet fields retaken by the French
have not only been ravaged by shells, lacerated
by trench diggers and furrowed by the wheels
of gun carriages, but have been so trampled by
infantry and cavalry that the extraction of the
roots became difficult problem, not yet en-
tirely solved. It is the modest heroine of the
war, the French peasant woman, who is work
ing on it in the unoccupied regions close to the
battlefront where she can not only hear it but
see the smoke of it.
In all this region the plough followed closely
upon the conflict and seeding necessarily fol-
lowed so hard upon the plough that some APP
prehension was felt as to the summary prepare
tion of the soil; there was no time for harrow
ing, but the seed caught and the new crop
showed its head even while the pointed helmets
across the line were taking in the last of the
belated harvest.
Statisticians say the seeding is little inferior
in acreage to that of 1913
