EPISCOPALIANS
NOT in Line FOR
BILLY SUNDAY

Billy" Sunday, the noted eyange-
list, may come to Honolulu and, again,
he, may not. However, he has under
consideration an invitation, to come
to this city, and it is not Sknown-jHst
when definitely he will make up his
mind.
At a meeting of theS, IRter.C Church
Federation yesterday, which organiza-
tion extended the invitation to the
evangelist, It was reported that Mr.
Sunday will be unable to VISIT Homo
lulu in 1915. This information was
received in letter to the federation;
the details of which were published
in the Star Bulletin some time ago.
The fact that Mr.. Sunday cannot
come in 1915, however, has not damp
ened the ardor of those Of the fedora.
tion who are anxious that Honolulu
shall hear the famous Baseball player.
preacher The special committee on
the Sunday Invitation reported that IT,
would continue in its efforts to secure
a visit.
When the proposition of inviting
Mr.. Sunday to Honolulu WAS first tax.
en- up, the members of the Episcopal
church declined to become part of
any such movement. They maintain
the same stand today, according to
Cannon William Au1t.
While we are not opposed to Mr.
Sunday we are not in accordance
with the movement he said.
1t is understood that Mr. Sunday
has been informed by letter of the
stand of the Eiiscopliahs and, as he
has informed the federation that he Is
considering coming in 1916, their at.
titude apparently will not. prevent his
visit.

The department hospital at Fort

Gays cable advices from Washington

construction of two new buildings

These features were included in the
plans for hospital expansion. but owing
to lack of funds they were cut out. As
the end OF the fiscal year approaches.
Uncle Sam finds himself in funds for
this work, due to savings in several
appropriations. but the9money must be
used before July 1. Hence the cable
authorization received by Lieut-c

RAISE in WATER
RATES, METERS,
MURRAY'S Plan
Authorization of Board BY
Report Last Night Opens
II. Way to Action
1000 METERS MAY
BE ORDERED SOON
Cost With installation Will Be
Not More Than $50, 600,
Says Superintendent

Water Superintendent Harry MUIR
ray will take steps at once for raise
in the "fiat rates for water under
authority OF "a report by the water
kcommittee of the hoard OF supervisors
made last night. He will also lay be-
fore the board within short time
suggestions for the purchase Of some
1000 meters and their installation as
soon as secured.
The ree6rt to the board last night
is in some degree against1 the recon-
mendations CT the Chamber of Com
meree that the increase i'm the fat
rates be postponed until the meter in
stallation could be established. The
water and sewers committee reported
last night that it will be some time
before meters can be installed and
that to leave the rates as they now
are viii mean an undesirable reduc-
ton in the city revenues. The COM
mittee added the recommendation
that the change in water rates go
into effect IS originally planned and
that ii, when the meters are installed,
il is found that the previous tias rates
in individual instances were exces-
slNesz ptOpci ICiuHu " eS Stey ~
made.
City hall authorities held today that
under this report the water depart-
ment Is expected to go ahead with its
original pl ms These included a raise
in the rates at once and the installa-
tion of meters.
Il realize that the fat-rate system
is fnequitabIe and that, q raise at this
time has Objectionable textures, but
il has come to the point where the
city must have the revenue says Su.
rerintendent MprraY.s.I say frankly
that sc IS impossible to. say precisely
what raises in the fat.rate will be
Just. However, my Plan Is to make
raise oil. ten per cent and to secure
the meters as fast as possible for in
stallation in the business section OF
the city. The residence section,
which Is more easily covered by in
speetion, may be metered gradually.
Murray plans to ask the board to
purchase about 1000 meters. He fig-
ures that the. total cost of these with
inst allation. will be not to exceed
$30.900. He does not agree with for.
mer City Engineer Wall that meters
wear out SO quickly here as to be use
less. If a meter is inspected once a
month and looked after, it will give
good service" says Murray, who has
been making tests for several months,
) There are five or six good makes
that wss can secure at reasonable
figure, he said today. "A meter cost
ing say eight to twelve dollars will
give us good service If we buy in
large lots we can get big reduction.
would favor buying a large quantity
of the same type in order to secure
this reduction
The water superintendent expects
there viii be protests at the raise in
rates, but city hall financiers have
been able to see no other way out Of
the financial dilemma.
With the meters now in and those
being installed there will be about
1000 meter connections If 1000 more
are Installed, the city will not be more
than half-metered.s The later work,
thinks Murray can adyantageonsly be
done by degrees. -
