| Cartwright, said Mr.. Cartwright paid
the taxes on the value of the land and
| NJ J. 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 a total Of S173.30 which
was paid in twice on the same prop
erty.
eve would recommend that the taxes
paid in by Grace Kahoalii on the land
above referred to, during the past 6
years, be refunded, said taxes amount
ing to $129.3O and that an item to that
effect be inserted in Senate bill 81

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:
1--WE 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 |
SuCn
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.
1--WE also find that the proper name |
of the locality bordering on Nuuanu
stream on its westerly side is Kaliu |
and not AaIa.'
