The city assessors books were re-

the levy.
The laying of the annual levy pro-
voked an acrimonious debate and
Councilman Keenan, used the occasion
to speak his mind about the street

ed by street and ordinance committees
in relation thereto. Messrs. Shuttle.
worth Of the finance committeebrought
in a report, recommending eighty
cents on the 800 valuation, while
Councilman Moore of the same COM
mittee presented a minority report
favoring 81 levy. An amendment to
the minority report for 80 cents was
voted down and the levy placed at 81,
all members voting for it, except
Keenan,, Kearns and Shuttleworth,
and Mayor Thompson who wished to
be recorded as opposing asl levy. The
levy was accordingly. fixed at 81,

the expenses as $4,000 for fixed
charges, $4,000 for paving contract,
5000 for work already ordered and
81, 900 or $4,000 for general purposes.

"a 500 from water rents, $500 from
fines, SLIGO from capitations, 5000
from dog tax and $4,000 from saloon
licenses, making an aggregate of
1874 300.

ALL THREE WANT
CHANNEL WHARF
Army, Collector Stackable and
Hackfeld All
After It.

The channel wharf Is in great demand.
Collector Stackable thinks the wharf nee
essary to his work, the United States Ar
my covets it. and H. Hackfeld & Co.
would be thankful for the use of 1t. All
three interests were represented at the
meeting of the Governors council yes
to-day. Colonel Ruhlen. the efficient
esuartermaster of the Army, made It
known that the channel wharf was just
what the Army needed to store military
supplies and that Uncle Sans fighting ne
cek sites made the space very needful.
Collector Stackable informed the Ha-
wailan Government that his department
of the United States Government wanted
the wharf and in the future there would
be much use for 1t for unloading ships.
Hacisfeld & Co. stated that the Ameri-
can-Hawaiian Steamship Company will
want the wharf and that the company
would be thankful il the Government,
would assign 1t to them.
| Between the three the Governor
council was at a loss and decided to take
no action for the present.

NO BUILDING IN
KEWALO DISTRICT
The Board of Health Will
Issue No More
PEI mits.

For the present no building permits
will be issued for the district of Ke-
walo. This was decided at meeting
of the Board of Health yesterday when
the whole question of the sanitary con-
dition Of the district was thoroughly
canvassed.
DR.. Garvin stated to the Board that
in its present condition the district was
not fit as a place for habitation. I'm
less some steps were taken toward fill
ing in the district SO as to bring it high
err above sea level he did not see what
could be done about 1t. There was no
method now to properly drain 1t, the
district wos so dow. He recommended
that the Board pay a visit In q body
to the district and look 1t over. Good
roads were particularly necessary
throughout the district, he stated.
After considerable discussion it was
decided on motion of DR.. Emerson to
appoint a committee of three men, not
necessarily members of the Board, to
look over the district and until 1t had
reported and it had been decided what
action should be taken to better the
sanitary condition of the district to
refuse all building applications for that
section. superintendent of Public
Works McCandless and President
Wood and Mr. Lowrey of the Board
were appointed on that committee.
A committee of the Board consisting
of DR.. Cooper, Mr.. Lowrey and r. c.
Winston, consulted with the Governor
yesterday morning on the question OF
completing the sewerage system. They
set before Governor Dole the low state
of the fund for the completion of the
work and stated what additional
| money would be necessary to finish the
work. While no action was taken 1t
was decided that something must be
done to secure additional funds and
Governor Dole promised to do what
ever was possible in that line. It Is
probable the necessary sum will be Dor.
rowed.

James, he sent one division of Sheri-
dams cavalry under James H. Wilson
to raid the main lines of supply from
the south through Danville. Wilson
dashed into the enemy's territory over
100 miles and destroyed 80 miles of
track on the Richmond and Banville
road. The raid wound up, as usual, in
a desperate struggle to get out of the
trap, for all the enemy's cavalry united
to head off the daring riders. Wilson
escaped. and the enemy had a broken
line to repair. After that the railroad
cutting was done slowly and on a large
scale by combined movements of infan-
try and cavalry. 1t may be said that
the campaign against Petersburg and
Richmond turned IN the destruction of
Lees mean of supply. The besieging
forces would capture and fortify a
road so as to prevent the enemy from
recovering it.
Wilson afterward made an extensive
raid in Alabama and Georgia to cap
ture and break up isolated garrisons OF
Confederates and destroy meal OF
supplying ard reinforcing the troops
left in the field. The work was uc-
c%essful, but came too late to materially
affect the result of the war. 1T showed
what might have been accomplished
by similar tactics earlier in the con-
flict. The Beers being mounted, it
would seem that incursions on the Brit
ish lines is their natural method Of
