The above figures show that the Dis
trict of Kona, Oahu, or Honolulu, pays
$2.10 tax more than it receives in expen-
ditures per capita.
Maui pays $500 more than it receives
in expenditures per capita.
Kauai pays $1.76 more than it receives
in expenditures per capita.
But Hawaii receives % centS more
per capita in expenditures than at pays
taxes.
The above statement shows that it
would be unjust 20 require Honolulu to
pay more towards the expenses of the
Government than it now pays. We
therefore recommend that the Bill be
laid on the table.
Minister Spencer said the report
was exceedingly interesting and valu-
able, and he would move it be trans

STANDING COMMITTEES.
Noble Williams reported printed
Bills 169, III and 172.
Noble Baldwin, for the Finance
Committee, reported on Bill 1873, to
divide Honolulu into five taxation
districts. The committee recommend
that the bill be laid on the table as it
would doubtless involve the appoint
ment of five deputy assessors, and con-
seuuent great expense. Laid on the
table to be considered with the bill.
The same committee reported on
Bill 68, being an Act TO provide for
raising revenue for the support of
each fire department, as follows:
HoN. J. S WALKER, President l. gsla-
tive Assembly:
Sir: Your COMMITTEES on Finance, to
whom wa4 referred Bill No. IS, enti-
tied can Act to provide for and author
ize the Raising OF a Revenue by Taxation
to be applied to and used for the sup.
port, maintenance and carrying on OF the
several Fire Departments OF the King
DOM" beg leave to report that we have
had the same under careful consldera-
ton.
The object of the Bill is to make each
district in the Kingdom pay for its own
Fire Department, and as the town OF
Honolulu is the only place that has a
Fire Department, or that is likely to
have one for years to come, it seems evil
dent to your committee that the Bill was
drawn up to apply directly to the Homo
lulu Fire Department.
The proposition that the tax payers OF
Honolulu should pay for their own Fire
Department is evidently based on the
supposition that this town is receiving
per capita more than their proportion OF
Government expenditures.
In order to determine the truth of this
supposition and deal with this question
Justly, your committee have obtained
full figures from the Assessor-in- Chief
showing for the past period the amount
of taxes paid per capita on each island
separately, and also the taxes paid by
the residents Of Honolulu. To Offset
this the expenditures have been care
fully calculated that have been spent
solely for the benefit of each island, and
also the expenditures solely for the bene-
fit of Honolulu.
There are certain sources of revenue
and expenditures that are common to
the islands as whole. These items of
revenue and expenditure have not been
included in making up these figures, nor
has any account been made of the road
and school tax which belong to each dis
trict where collected. In making up
these figures receipts from Honolulu Wa
ter Works amounting to $S4, 5000, re-
ceipts from electric lights $9,556.40, re-
ceipts from Honolulu Fish Market $751;
PCS So, have been deducted from the
expenditures in Honolulu. These are
items of revenue paid into the Treasury
by the citizens of Honolulu that they
should have credit for.
We give herewith the figures according
to our calculation

Rep. Kanealii wanted the return
day to be changed to April l, in order
to catch the sugar crop. Of course the
Minister of Finance would not like
this arrangement because he was q
planter himself. What a revenue it
would be for the country, if there
were a tax of SIS ton on sugar.
Rep. Kamauoha said such tax
would amount to double taxation. He
favored extending the period for re-
turns from July 81 to September l.
Noble Thurston sympathized with
the statement of Rep. Kanealii. The
crops were very valuable on January
1, of very little on July !. 1t was put
in in June or July, and taxed at al
most nothing. 1t is taxed again,
when nine months old or thereabout,
when it is not nearly so valuable as
on January 1. 1t was absurd to call
it double taxation. A dog or horse
was taxed every year. That was not
double taxation. The statistics pub
lished in the Finance Committees re-
port of 1890 showed that sugar planta-
tions had never been adequately tax
ed. Rice plantations were taxed at
$500 or $500 per acre, while sugar
plantations were only at about 500
an acre, though sugar had yielded
much more than rice. In order TO
bring the matter before the House, he
would move the assessment day be
January /, instead of July j.
Noble + M HOrner wanted TO know
whether we were to be taxed next
January again on this plan.
Noble Thurston said no. The taxes !
