Mr.. iAUKEA WILL
DISPUTE THE BOND

t Curtis P. Iaukea, the elected assessor
of Oahu county, in the Treasurer's Of
flee yesterday showed an Advertiser re-
porter some figures he had obtained
there to prove that the Board of Su-
pervisors exceeded the demands of the
County Act i'll fixing the amount of his
official bond.
More than rs per cent of the $780,
1892 which was represented to have
been in Assessor Pratt's hands in one
day. Mr.. Iaukea said as he referred
to the memoranda, consisted of checks.
banks subject to the order of the
Treasurer, therefore could not rightly
be classed as money in the hands of
the assessor.
Moreover. the $4,000 and odd con-
stituted the collections of five days,
the last collection days without penal
ty at that, which always yield the
heaviest receipts of the tax office.
1.-THE checks on bank deposits
amounted to s271,010.79."
Mr.. Iaukea did not attribute ma
licious intent to the Supervisors. but
considered they had been nisled by
the figures as unexplained to them. He
limited plainly at taking legal steps for
compelling a revision Of the bond pro-
ceeding, should the Supervisors refuse
to reconsider their action and bring the
amount within the reasonable intent of
the law as he understands it.

OFFICE ABOLlHED
TO SAVE SALARY

= &
Governor Garter has accepted the
resignation of Theodore F. Lansing as
Commissioner of immigration, and will
probably issue commission to the
Secretary of the Territory or some
other official to perform the duties of
the office. AS self-contained posi-
ton with a salary annexed the office
is, for the present at least, abolished.
1t was created, or rather recreated
from pronunciation existence, by the
last Legislature for the purpose of pro-
noting the Introduction of settlers and
field laborers.
In making the announcement yester-
day afternoon, the Governor wished it
distinctly understood that the accept
ance of Mr.. Lansing's resignation was
no reflection on his handling of the
business.

TAwDRY CONSTRUCTION.

1.-THE good, the true and the beauti-
full" is a phrase that was on everv
tongue and every pen tip about a quar-
ter of a century ago. 1t represented
the ideal end of education and culture,
which was urged moreover as the one
thing needful in the useful arts. With
considerable alloy of sheer cant, the
doctrine was timely and wise. The
immense strides of practical invention
and marvellous development of indus
trial and commercial methods, which
have marked the worlds progress in
the meantime, needed all of the
esthetic corrective which has been APP
piled and more OF it would not have
hurt. It is remarkable, as it is deplor-
able, indeed, that false tenets of beauty
are, both by public and private agency
still followed to the extent that they
are. What, for instance, is the sense
of covering honest and outspoken ex-
teriors of brick with stucco? Particu-
larly amidst the perennial emerald of
Honolulu's foliage. The most rudimen-
tar.y knowledge of colars reveals the
fact that red and green make a beau
tiful contrast, whilst gray amidst green
has a depressing effect on the spirits.
Anyone who has looked down from
height upon a city largely built of brick,
which has a goodly proportion of trees
interspersed with its architecture, must
have been strongly impressed with the
color harmony of the urban scheme.
There are other objections TO plastered
brick than it's shoddily false pretenses.
The stucco is generally laid on so thin
that age brings out the lines between
the bricks, if spawls of the stuff do not
come off here and there. giving the
building the aspect of a dyed-over and
frayed tartan petticoat. There are pub
lie buildings now projected in Homo
lulu, which it is intended shall be of
brick in smeared disguise. The expense
of the tawdry dressing would go far
and the finish of the other walls. Is It
too late to offer a plea for ''the good,
the true and the beautiful in our pub
lie architecture? Especially should
truth be sought in every detail OF
schoolhouse construction, for the young
mind is largely formed by the influence
of the child's surroundings.
