DELINQUENT TAXES.
How MIR. PIatt is PrOtecting the
Taxpayers.

CANs
The State and county taxes of Los An
geles county amounted for this year to
about 81 100000. When taxes became
delinquent in the early days of laet Jam
uaIy ere were about $16S 900 of this
sum unpaid on the books. This was not
the result of any pecuniary inability OF
property holders to pay, but of physi-
eal inability TO reach the tax-collector's
desk.
Since taxes became delinquent, a
period of two months, those in arrears
have been husily engaged in the
work of liquidation. Towards the
last as much as $4,000 day passed
over the cashiers desk, until on the 26th
instant there was little more than $780,
900 outstanding.
Mr.. r. S. Pistt, the present Tax Col
lector, is anxious to help out the tax
payer Us much as possible. He has fol
the past three days adjourned the sale
until the next day, and in the meantime
the belated ones are paying up and free
ing their holdings. Yesterday over $3 ,00(
of the little outstanding WAS paid in
For a few days longer Mr.
Platt will pursue this enlightened and
patriotic policy until if those who have
not yet paid are diliCent in their OWL
behalf, very little property will 60 t.
sale. It is to be remembe bered tnat gooC
deal of the amount still outstandin,
consists of poll taxes, much of which i
not secured by a lien on realty. Thi
will, of course, never be paid at all
Thus it will appear that the amount O
property to go under the hammer is 1
mere bagatelle.

WANT TO HOLD ON.
RumOrs that the Present Officials
VIII Not Hetire.


The rumors that the present officials
of the city will make an effort to hold
their seats until the end of the term for
which they were elected are becoming
very general and were heard all over the
streets yesterday. 1t was stated that
several of the couneilmen had announced
their intention to decline to give up
their seats to the newly elected Council
men and it was also stated that Mayor
Bryson was undecided whether to join in
the movement or not. The contestants,
it is said, have placed their case in the
hands Of prominent lawyers for an opin-
ion on the legality of the election as held
under the new charter. Another rumor
is to The effect that in case the opinion
is adverse to the charter the contest will
be made so as to test the matter in the
courts before a change of government
will be allowed. The newly elected off,
GERS have heard these ,umors and say
that if they are enioined from taking
their seats they will in turn enjoin the
present officers and prevent them from
doing any business. If the rumors prove
true there are evidently lively times
ahead in CITY affairs.

Mr., DAVID DAYTON,

Tomorrow, the frst day of Feb
ruary, Mr.. David Dayton will open
an Office on King street, at No. 81,
upstairs. He will practice in the
Police and District Courts of the
kingdom, do a general collecting
business, and attend faithfully to
any matters in his lines entrusted
to him.
Mr.. Dayton, rs is known to our
readers, has recently retired from
the public service of the country.
He was regularly in that service for
a period of about thirty-one years,
having entered 1t in 1858. About
August of that year Mr.. Dayton
was commissioned Police Officer by
kekuauaoa, Governor OF Oahu. In
January, 1866, he received COM
mission as Deputy Sheriff of the
island of Oahu. Two and n half
years later, July, 1868, he was COM
missioned Deputy Marshal by Mar
shal w. c. Parke, and was recon-
missoned by Marshal j. H. Sepel
in October, 1884. Marshal j. l.,
Kaulukou also commissioned him as
his deputy, in August, 1886. Thus
Mr.. Dayton was deputy to three
Marshals of the kingdom, respect
lively. He left that position to be-
come Police Justice of Honolulu, or
December %, 1886, which latter
position he occupied until the 2Stl
of December last, two years, thu
period for which the commission wa'
signed.
In addition to the various com
missions above specified, Mr.. Day
ton has held others subordinate
thereto, in connection with tn
Board of Health. He played a pro
minent part along with Marsha
Parke in the small pox quarantine
of 1868, 1872, and 1881.
Now after thirty-one years o
faithful and unremitting public ser
vice, Mr.. Dayton starts business o.
his own account. His public caree
has won for him q reputation @
spotless integrity and untiring devo
ton to duty. With this reputatio
he retires from the government sci
vice and opens an office of his own
and as it secures for him public con
iidence it cannot fail to bring hir
public patronage.

KYANzA AND CASCO.

EDITOR BULLETIN In your last
evenings edition is an extract from
the Scotsman newspaper, purporting
to have been written by one of Mr..
Stevenson's party on the yacht
Casco, in which the following pas
sage occurs: "We sailed round to
Tiohae (should be Tawhai) the capi-
tai. from thence to the windward
island of the group, Hiva-Oa, where
we lay dozen days in Taaeuku
(should be TahawkW Bay. We had
not been there six days, the vaisseau
aller prominer, presumably meant
to be the French for YACHT being
the curiosity of the whole island who
had never heard of yacht before,
when one morning II lofty ugiy
schooner swept around the point,
made running mooring and broke
out the Blue Ensign. 1t was the
"Nyanza," thirteen months out of
Plymouth"
| am little surprised to hear
that the natives evinced so much
curiosity at the sight of a yacht, for
not only have they heard of yachts,
but have seen such craft more often
than | can say. Lord Dudley 5
steam yacht was all through the
Marquesas group two years ago.
Mr.. Lambert's yacht Wanderer was
also there French war ships CON
stantly visit the group, and the
sight of craft of the Casco type
would be regarded by the average
Marquesan with but little wonder
or curiosity.
AS regards the large, lofty, ugly
schooner (Nyanza) | hardly think
the epithet used as appropriate, foI
more dainty, graceful craft than
is the Nyanza, it would be hard tC
find. Place her alongside tie CascC
and let any nautical man express
an opinion on the respective merits
OF the two yachts, as regards fine
lines, taper sparS, md the other at
tributes ST modern first-elass
yacht, and i venture to say that the
"ugly" Nyanza will take the cake
every time. | will 90 further, and
assert that the Nyanza would get
away with the Casco in manner
that would astonish the folks on that
craft.
Apolcgising for spinning such a
long yarn on subject that does not
concern me, | am NAUTICAL
