Cured in any one year by the Territory
to / per centum upon the assessed value
of the taxable property of the Territory
as shown by the last general assess
ment. The assessment for the year l9Ou
showed a total valuation of $97, 49l,5S4;
consequently the Indebtedness that may
be incurred in the first year OF the next
biennial period is s974,915.s4, and the
same amount or more for the second
wear. The total loan suggested in the
estimates is s1,946,900, one-half OF which
may be incurred in each year OF the COM
ing period.
The report of the Treasurer shows
that the sum of S199,0O0 has been 40.
yapced to loan accounts from current
funds since the legislative session of 1888.
The estimates provide for the return
of this amount to the current account
and it's appropriation as current FUNDS.
Although this course Is not absolutely
necessary, yet 1t is very desirable tnat
liz should be followed. for this reason, a
very large part of the revenues are re-
ceived from taxes on property during the
latter part of October and the first two
weeks of November. With our present
surplus and the monthly revenues from
other sources the Government VIII De

recommend the passage Of a loan act
for a larger amount than at present re-
luuired. under which the Legislature at
each session may appropriate funds as
NAV be required, thus obviating the ne
cessity of passing new loan bill at
each session. Such a course was adopt
ed by the Legislature of 1886 and has
been satisfactory.

fire and the danger which for months
menaced the whole Islands population
was national misfortune which should
las far as possible be horne approximate
ly by the whole community. Consistent
ly with this view the taxpayers should
assume a reasonable proportion of the
losses of the sufferers in this calamity,
but no logical theory requires them to
assume the whole of such losses as the
sufferers are equally called npon 10 hear
their share also. What that proportion
should be is difficult TO say; il can only
be decided arbitrarily.
The fact, however, mat many house
holders and proprietors of premises that
became infected, by their own cu!pable
neglect of cleanliness In their surround
ings not only invited infection but gave
plague germs foothold from which It
was most difficult to dislodge them. Is Il
circumstance that should greatly reduce
awards of damages TO such persons II
not, indeed, cause their claims to be re-
fused altogether.
The matter Of awarding damages is
one Of such difficulty and delicacy that
provision should be made for the estab-
lishment Of a court or comm ssion COM

sentative judgment for this work

ers In this great disaster.

The loss of the tariff and postal reve-
nues incident TO annexation, has been a
serious shock to our financial condition.
In the period of 1898 and 1899 the revenue
from these sources was s., 3ssI67S7 and
the expenses 1891 ,270.22
This reduction of revenues makes it
necessary that "a considerable sum of
money SHOULD be borrowed for public i'm

nients for the coming period contain

AS the authority of the Territory to
incur Indebtedness is limited and finally

it is desirable that the Legislature
should study the question Of Increasing
the current revenues by methods which
will distribute the burden of taxation as
fairly as possible and gradually reduce
