Definite information that the nation

Navigation Co.
This communication stated that rep
fresentatives of the shipping board had
conferred with the Matson officials In
San Francisco and that it was plain
" intimated the freight rates between
Honolulu and Spn Francisco would
have to be raised to make the oper-
alton of the vessels taken over by the
government profitable in the island
trade.
The Matson Officials were informed
that they. could anticipate tho an.
nouncement of a new freight SEIZED.

very short time, by the San Fran.
| cisco representatives of the shipping
board.
/ Shipping men here freely predict
that the present rate of $4.25 per ton
will be nearly doubled, and others
expect the rate to go several dollars
beyond SIS a ton for the carrying OF
freight to and from Honolulu and
San Francisco.
A fuctuating freight rate is what
may be also expected, it is asserted.
| This is because of the announced rate
of payment made by the shipping
board when the American vessels
were Communicated on October Is.
BY this payment schedule the ship.
ping board bound itself to pay grad,
uating rate for the use of the vessels
according to their speed and carrying
capacity.
! One OF. the maximum rates Of pay
emit announced was as high as s11. 90 "a
ton, deadweight, per month for yes
sells of a speed and size, equal to that
of the Matsonia.
Due to this it is thought that the
rates charged for the carrying of
freight on the President and the Gov
ernor will be more than that asked
for freight space on the Lurline and
Hyades.
AS an example OF what may be ex-
pected in the raise of freight rates
to the islands, shipping men declare
that local company has been pay
ing the shipping board $13 and $14
a ton for. carrying cargo here from
Northwestern ports.
If the shipping scarcity continues
and return cargoes cannot always be
obtained for ssels despatched to the
islands by the. shipping board, it is
said freight rate may be established

last, as was recently the case.
Only the beginning of the grinding
of the 1918 sugar crop at an early
date may obviate the shortage OF
retdrn cargo which otherwise would
exist here until next February.
1t is confidentialy believed that the
specific freight rates which will be
charged on the various ships sent to
the islands will be received here in
a few days.

Plan TO SOLVE
NUUAN(J' VITAL
WATER PROBLEM
Committee Outlines Scheme to
Be Presented to City
Monday

AS a result of conference held yes
terdaY afternoon by the members OF
the executive committee of the recent
ly organized Nuuanu Valley COnsum-
ers Association plan to supply the
residents of the upper levels of the
valley with artesian well water has
practically been completed. and the
r. tier will be given final discussion
Monday at noon before being present
ed to the board of supervisors.
AS the plan was outlined to the Star
Bulletin today, the executive commit.
tee, which is headed by 3. Faxon
Bishop, is absolutely opposed to any
filtration scheme or surface water
supply. The new plan, which If car.
ried out will cost $4,000, calls for q
pumping plant to be put in at Kalihi
station to pump 100000 gallons OF
water to the upper levels. To offset
the amount taken out of the mains in
tbs way the plan includes the secure
ing of 100000 gallons of water now
used by the big plants such as Won
Hamm, Young and Mutual Telephone
companies and allowed to go to waste
after their use. The water secured
from these plants is declared to be
good water, even though it has been
used for condensery purposes.
BY putting the 100000 gallons now
going to waste into the mains in the
city and taking the same amount out
of the mains at Kalihi and pumping it
to the upper levels, the committee be-
lieyes there can be no shortage in
town under the system. The plan also
includes the erection of a small reser.
syoir in Nuuanu near the .Dowsett tract
from which the water pumped up from
Kalihi can be distributed about the
upper levels: The entire expense con.
nected with this program Is estimated
at $50, 900.
A meeting of the executive com.
mittee was to have been held at noon
today, but owing to the fact that somo
OF the members were unable to be
present it was postponed until Mon.
day.
