TAXES ARE EQUALIzED

The reason for the increased assess
ments on various properties in Homo
lulu" said j. w. Pratt this morning,
lies in the fact that for the first time
an equalization of values has been at
tempted.
There have been and doubtless will
be many complaints from those who
have had their amounts raised. This
is due in great many instances to the
fact that the smaller land owners
have been taxed considerably more
than their share pro rata as compared
with larger land holders, whose prop
erty was in many instances adjoining.
We propose to make away with this
state of affairs. We are making no de-
Tense and are ready to admit that we
may have made mistakes, but there is
always an appeal and plenty of time
in which to make it. Others bought
their property in the old days and do
not realize the fact that it has greatly
increased in value since then.
The whole ground has very careful
ly gone over and the city sectionalized
to the smallest practical degree. The
assessments will be found to run
eighty-five per cent of the selling value.
There are many cases where we have
not altered rates. These are where the
imum. Others we have raised to this
minimum scale and now there are none
of the steps and discrepancies that ex-
listed formerly among neighboring land
owners.
"Of course property along various
thoroughfares is higher than in other
cases, along King street for example.
Land on the slopes is higher in value
than elsewhere. We have merely equal
lied the pro rata values. The land has
been taken regardless of improvements
and where John Smith owns five thou
sand square feet next to Fred Jones
who owns only five hundred the form
er pays as much as the latter pro rata.
We may have made mistakes here and
in the Improvement list, but there is a
remedy"
| A general roar has gone forth today
| rrom those who consider that they are
| Cvertaxed and the appeal court will be
! busy from all outloOl<s. Many claim
| that they are taxed far above theil
| values.
