RETURN OF DOUBLE TAXI
$4,000

$4,000
''In regard to the claim of Bruce
Cartwright, said Mr. Cartwright paid
the taxes on the value of the land and
NJ. ]. Almeida paid taxes on his lease
hold Of the same land according to
their respective returns. AS lease
holds are taxable in addition to the
value of the land under lease, we re-
commend that said item of $4S be not
appropriated.
In regard to the claim of Grace
Kahoalii and Lam Wal Kong, each
paid the taxes on the same property,
amounting to total of s173.3O which
was paid in twice on the same prop
erty.
I'VE would recommend that the taxes
paid in by Grace Kahoalii on the land
above referred to, during the past
years, be refunded said taxes amount
ing to S129.30 and that an item to. that
effect be inserted in Senate bill g."
Rep. Gear reported for the Commit
tee on Health and Education On tine
item extra compensation for Chas.
Wilcox $4,000" proposed to be inserted
in Senate bill 8. The committees re-
port was, in part, as follows: "Ad-
ditional work has been imposed upon
Mr.. Wilcox through the changes in
cident to the date of r. w. Meyers,
and that, in view of such increased
work, an increase of salary has been
asked for in the appropriation bill
''We consider that, if such increase
of salary is granted, full compensation
will be given Mr. Wilcox and we there
fore recommend that the above item
be not inserted, but that the increase
of salary asked for in the appropriation
BILL be granted"
Report laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the bill.
Rep. Robertson reported for the
select committee to whom was referred
Senate bill No. 10, setting apart certain
lands for public recreation grounds, in
part, as follows:
eve believe that the object of the
bill, to wit, to provide free recreation
grounds for the public to be most
commendable one and worthy the
hearty support of the Legislature. The
two tracts of land set apart by this
bill are conveniently located and suit
able for the purpose proposed.
1--WE find that both lands are larger
than necessary for mere recreation
grounds and that there is ample room
for combining certain park features
such as shade trees, shrubbery and
seats or benches, and hope that the
Bureau that may have charge of these
grounds will incorporate these fea-
lures, and with this object in view,
we propose that both grounds be called
parks and that they be given appro-
pirate names.
I'VE also find that the proper name
of the locality bordering on Nuuanu
stream on its westerly side is Kaliu
and not Aala."
The bill passed second reading.
Third reading set for Tuesday.
Rep. McCandless reported two small
unpaid bills which were referred to the
Committee on Public Health.

ton to introduce bill to regulate the

cine and dentistry.

This was read by title Rep. Robert
son moved that the bill be rejected.
1t would take the committee a whole
month of careful consideration. The
bill could not be passed at this ses-
sion anyway. There was much discus
sion on the disposition to be made of
the bill but it finally passed first read
