vention Postponed.

Hilo and other places talk of holding
out taxes due now until after the
County Act goes into effect, when the
same would be paid into the county
treasury. Some quite heavy tax pay
ers have said that they would willing
ly pay penalty for delinquency for the
sake of saving the money for the
county. The subject has evidently
come to the ears of the Territorial
officers at Honolulu, as Mr.. Willfons
has received imperative orders to su,
for taxes promptly on November 20.
This unusual order shows that Homo
lulu proposes to crowd the collections
The matter is of vital interest tt
Messrs. Geo. H. Williams and r. A
Lyman, who collect the taxes. The!
are paid in commissions and for tn
first ten months of the year the col
fore be seen that the Tax Collecto
will not be in sympathy with tn
scheme to hold out the taxes for tn
benefit of the counties-Hilo Tribune
