The public works officials declare
they found it necessary to use the
prison labor on account of the small
appropriation they had for the removal
of the building. The legislature ap'
propriated $4,000 for the work and
SO 900 was given to the contractor for
the actual moving Of the building

WATER DEPTHS
Charged $500
FOR ELECTRICITY

Because the twater ldpartpent, has
always charged the electric light dc
partment for the use Of water to run
its Nuuanu plant, now that the water
department has installed an electric
pump at its sewer pumping station,
the electric light department has de
cided to charge it for electricity used
and this evening William Frazee, ST.
perintendent, will present a BIZ!
amounting to $242725 at the meeting
of the board Of supervisors.
The bill is fer the three month";
period April l to July l. AS the
charge for the water is $1157.1O for
the six months ending June 80, tn"
water department, therefore, owes the
electric light department balance o.
$127O15.
That this charge will be protested
by Harry Murray, superintendent .:
the water department, is not doubted
as he has always maintained that the
other department should aid in paying
the interest and sinking fund Of the
bond issue 1t will probably result
in a compromise.
