TheDepartment OF Justice has approved the
plan OF Marshal Wilson as to the disposal Of the
rooms and offices in the Court House building
In the allotment of rooms, the first or main
floor and upper floor of the west wing
assigned tc the civil service commission. The
six rooms on the first story, formerly used by
the mayor, register and tax collector, with the
vault Of the latter, and lately occupied by the
auditor Of the court, will be used BY the COM
mission, as also the old aidermen's chamber,
afterwards the Orphans Court room, the rooms
formerly used by the register of wills, and two
new rooms and An ante-rooIn. Thus the com.
mission will have eleven ordinary sized rooms

used by the grand jury and the two smaller
rooms formerly used 6y the petit .turies. This
suite OF rooms has been connected by doors. and
the rooms are quite conveniently arranged. .,
For some years efforts have been made by the
incumbents OF tine Office OF recorder OF deeds 70
secure more commOdious quarters. Formerly
this Office was located in the second story, but
was removed some years ago TO the basement,

part. 1t was necessary to place some of the
cOpyistS In the basement rooms OF the old build
ing-places quite unsuitable for continuous
use. The present recorder, Mr. Matthews,
through Marshal Wilson, has succeeded In get
ting at last into suitable quarters by efecting
an exchange with the register OF wills. He will
also take Inc two large rooms given up by the
surveyor, with the Two large rooms now used
for the sessions Of the PROBATE Court and for
the register OF Wills and two smaller rooms on
the west side OF the hall. This will give the
office ample room for probably century 70
come.
MI. Dorsey Clagett, the register OF Wills, with
his clerks, will take the rooms vacated by the
recorder In the northeast corner OF the building,
and will have just the same amount Of room NJ
at present, so they will suffer no Inconvenience.

a Tax Payers Complaint.

EDITOR GAZETTE:-The gloomy outlook for
the future of cane planters, might have boon
expected 10 decrease the annual valuation of as
sessment.
Such has not been the case however, and in
stead of low returns in the Hio section, there has
been noticeable rise from ten to twenty-five per
cent In general.
But when it is understood that this advance
comes deliberately from the planters of the district
sanctioned and agreed upon at their annual meet
ing at Pepeekeo, without external pressure, our
indignation at the assessor Is only equaled by his
exorbitant and impudent demands for more.
In every case the assessment given in has been
entirely disregarded and cool and insulting reply
sent your Assessment is entered in the tax books
as, Real Estate - Personal Property --,"
a raise on the planters returns of 80 to 100 per
cent, with a refusal TO give the items on which he
has thought fit to put such startling advances.
Taxation will always have an unpleasant side,
but we see no reason at this time of day, IN Ha-
wall. to resort to such sneaking methods more
especially, from Frank Austin, who ought to know
from his own failure in the business of planter,
that much heavier burden cannot be borne.
1t is not reasonable to believe that the Govern
ment, even in its poverty, and great need, would
urge its tools to do work of this nature in
ner calculated to rouse a whole community.
The action of the planters has rendered the as
SCISSORS work less urgent and a prudent man in
the Office would have been able to push reasonable
advance on any previously given, without unneces-
sary friction.
As matters actually stand the planters have good
grounds for believing that personal feeling has
something to do with the matter. KAMAAINA.
