Public Works sewer rates contested in 1908 case
In a Hawaii Territory district court decision dated May 14, 1908, the plaintiff sought $117 plus 10 percent penalty for unpaid sewer rates from January 1, 1908, to December 31, 1909, alleging the defendant owed for use of the Manakea Street sewer. The defendant argued illegality of rates fixed before 1909, duress, lack of consideration, and statute of limitations, claiming permission to connect with the public sewer was coerced. The court weighed constitutional challenges, government delegation, and acquiescence, concluding that the defendant benefited from the sewer connection and платed for a year and a half without protest. The opinion discusses prior Territory v. Brown and related cases on enforceability of preexisting sewer rates and the consent doctrine.
