ADVERTISER ON WATER

Editor Evening Bulletin: - Under
heading "The Reservoir Question"
the editor of the Advertiser shows his
fangs again in the issue Of yesterday.
No wonder the Advertiser is advocat-
ing the supply of water at high ele'
walton. for the principal owner OF that
paper is about the only person in Ho-
nolulu who would be very materially
benefited. II seems that he cannot get
water up to the sixth floor Of the Stan
genwald building. which Is largely own
ed by him. and now the taxpayers of
Honolulu are asked by the Advertiser
to supply the owner of the Advertiser
with water. No wonder that he tries
to draw a herring across the tract In
speaking of the Pauoa water as the
"Pauoa job again" and the Booth
tract emulation. As long as person
alities like those INDUCED In by the
Advertiser are permitted to control
the actions of this community, Just so
long will we have misrule. What this
city wants is good, pure water, and
none Of the Advertisers malicious per
sonalities. There Is no doubt but what
Pauoa offers a most valuable source OF
water supply to the city OF Honolulu
The waters from Manoa and Kalihi
may be as desirable, II Ny are avail
able, and in investigating the water
supply all these sources OF supply
should be impartially investigated; we
should not be welded to any one OF
them, but should adopt that which will
confer the creates. good upon the city
In speaking OF the Pauoa water
however, to show that the Advertiser
is craftily trying to mislead the pub
lie. the editorial goes on to state "un'
mixed rain is to be preferred at any
time on the score Of purity to spring
or brook water. This is undoubted'
ly true, but the editor of the Adver'
tiser knows that he Is deceiving the
public when he would have any one
infer that by building a reservoir at a
high elevation in Nuuanu valley un.
mixed rain water Is to be obtained.
The reservoir water OF Nuuanu valley
is not nearly equal to the spring water
of Pauoa valley, and the editor Of the
Advertiser knows 1t. A reference to
the $250.000, which was asked from
the Government for this water. but
which. by the way. was cut down ia

the Governments large interest In
this amount, and the further reference

Our Wailuku correspondent holds
that the small attendance at the Wal
luku public school is the result OF the
Board of Education's failure to supply
Sufficient efficient teachers. He credits
the large attendance at the Honolulu
High School to the policy OF allowing
appropriations by which first class
teachers can be secured. Granting he
Ia right and his report Of the crowded
condition of Wailuku private schools
gives strength to his argument, what
will be the result In the Honolulu High
School OF reduced appropriations and
consequently lower teaching standard?
With Waikiki quoted as horrible ex-
emple OF what cheap teachers will ac-
complish. citizens can appreciate why
Prof. Scott has been wrought up over
the forced changes In his corps Of
teachers. The Bulletin agrees that tho
best teachers in the land are none too
good for Waikiki, Honolulu or any
other school center. Certainly the new
Wailuku schoolhouse will be a purely
political waste. II the money lavishly

Dear Sir:--ln behalf of the Homo
lulu Symphony Society, wish to thank
you for the interest you have evinced
in our society, not alone by giving
much valuable space from time to
time in your paper announcing our
entertainments, but also, by your very
able editorial in Friday evenings 10
sue, which so clearly brought before
your readers the true aim of the H0-
nolulu Symphony Society, |. e. produc-
ing good music by the many skillful
amateur musicians in Honolulu and
procuring a comfortable and strictly
respectfully conducted club. where
young and single men especially can
meet at all times. whether they are
active musicians or not.
With the support of such members
and by the generous patronage of our
entertainments by the music-lovine
people in Honolulu. we hope II will be
possible to extend the scope of ouI
work and in time include a manner
Choir, choral society, and perhaps dra
| matte features.
We have local talent In Honolulu tc
perhaps a greater extent than In an,
other city of the same population, bu
II takes energy and money to carry Out
such plans. The first we have, but thu
second can only be procured by thu
generous patronage Of the press ant
public.

TAX APPEAL BOApD
Continued from PAGE ~

Ten of the largest firms In town are
directly interested In these agency
contracts, doing business. chiefly.
with the sugar plantations OF the Ter
ritory, as their representatives.
In the income returns Tax Assessor
Holt has assessed these corporations
on the benefits they derive as agents
of the plantations; In the case Of VIM.
g. Irwin & Co., for example, he as
sesses over $4,000, whereas the cor
poration returned nothing. II Is said
that these houses contend that the
nature Of their relations with the
plantations Is such that they can break
with them at any time not being bound
by contract. but Tax Assessor Holt
holds that they are taxable on the per.
centages derived ON sugar handled and
on pecuniary benefits otherwise de-
rived.
The Supreme Court 'in re assess
ment OF taxes. &. Brewer & Co., Ltd"
appeal from Tax Appeal Court, decid-
ed June |. 1903. says: Sugar planta-
ton agency contracts are contracts
within the meaning of that word as
used In Section $40, and taxable; but
neither promissory notes nor accounts
receivable are such contracts nor are
they taxable"
Section $40, above referred to, is as
follows

not exempted by law and all animals

The other question relates to "gen-
eral leases and particularly affects
leasehold interests on the Esplanade
where corporations lease land from the
Government for warehouse and other
purposes. Some corporations contend
that their leases are about to expire
and that 1t is not fair to tax them
therefor.

Laborers from the Hermit Kingdom
are decidedly interesting individuals.
Their childish anger was first aroused
because the plantation physiciau
sought to save the life of one OF their
members. refusing to let him die In
the old-fashioned Korean style. Later
they were aroused when the physician
sought to take a short trip to the city,
demanding that he remain with them.
