Harvey said that he first wished TO be
shown the amount of money handled

| Mr.. Gilman replied that the bond was
of money held by the Treasurer dur
| ing any preceding year, and as he had
held none during that time, the board
was compelled to use it's discretion and
abide by Section 473, and fix the amount
according to the best information in its
possession. He said that he did not
believe thai from present appearances,
the Treasurer would have a large
amount in his hands. The Tax Collec-
tor and License Collector both paid
their collections over to the Treasurer,
but he would be required TO disburse
it almost Immediately, at least until
June seth when large income returns
are made. Mr.. Gilman said that ne

LUCAS VIEWS.
TT is the duty .of the Board of SUI
pervisors to use it's discretion and judg-
ment, in fixing the bond,'' said Super
visor Lucas, land it is out of all reason
to fix it at such a ridiculousiy small
amount as $4,000. The Superintendent
of Public Works says that the water
rates alone in the next two or three
months will amount to $4,000. Then
taxes and license fees are always COM
ing in, and there is no sense in fixing
a bond at all. if it is to be placed at
$4,000. I think we will be acting with
in our duty if the bond is made
$3.50, 0OO."
Supervisor Mahoe said he supported
the motion to make it $4,000 and point
ed out that the law plainly said this
was sufficient. He contended that the
Treasurer was starting business with
out any money at all and that bond
of $250000 was unnecessary. He said it
would be time enough to consider rails
ing the bond above $4,000 when the
revenue began coming in.
Supervisor Robinson stated that the
board must act upon the best informa
ton it could secure, and that is what
had been collected in the office. He
said he knew of large corporations, rep
resenting millions of dollars, who bring
in their taxes amounting to hundreds
of thousands of dollars upon the last
day in a lump sum, and the bond
should be sufficient to cover this.
A vote on the amendment fixing the
bond at $4,000 was then taken, Mahoe.

IAUKEAfs STATEMENT.
Mr.. Iaukea's statement was a careful
review of figures to show that the pro-
posed bond of s150.000 was larger than
required by any construction of the law.
He said he based his contentious on
Chapter Is, Section 81, and Chapter IS,
Section 473. He also presented a record
of the former assessor, made up by the
deputy, showing the amount of money
on hand at various periods. This
shows" said Iaukea, that the assessor
in one day never received an amount
collected in one day has been below
that figure. / take the law to mean
the collections in one day and 1 have
the figures to show that the largest col
lection made in any one day last year
was $95, 3SS.75, including all taxes. I'm
der the County Act there can never be
such a large collection at zone time
because the law is changed, making
two collection days, the income and
specific taxes payable in June and the
property taxes payable in November
The board must take this into consfd-
Grafton. The largest receipts FOR real
and personal taxes. taking the average
of the last four days of November was
$56,946 while the income tax collections
on the same day amounted to S24 700. i
believe it is only fair and justice to
myself. as the duly elected assessor of
the County of Oahu if the board con-
strles the largest amount of property
tax collected, $55,946, as the greatest
amount in the hands of the collector in
one day, and fixes the bond according

Supervisor Harvey nominated Jas.
H. Boyd. Supervisor Mahoe inquired
how Vida could be an applicant, being
also a member of the Legislature.
Chairman Hooking said the Attorney
General had ruled that the fact that
he was a representative did not deter
him from accepting an appointive Of
fee. Mahoe replied that ne didn't
believe the Attorney Generals decl-
sion was sufficient. Suppose the

hoe, land the Legislature is called

practice the board of directors of the Ma
tional Rifle Association will meet here this
evening a the Arlington Hotel. At the last
annual meeting of the association. held at
Sea Girt, N J.. 1t was proposed to make

clubs devoted to rifle and revolver shooting,
and it was recommended that the annual
membership be abolished and the rights and
privileges now given to such members be
extended to all members of affiliated or

the present annual members be given the
privilege of taking out life membership.
1t is proposed that in the future the an

The board of directors will pass upon
these recommendations, and also consider
the character of legislation to be presented

Salaries Of Clergymen.
From Leslie's Magazine.


Some clergymen receive 81 800 year for
their services, when the church is a large
one, situated in a growing city. Those in
the smaller towns have yearly salaries
ranging from 500 to 81 .200-salaries which
they are not always able to collect. In
group of 200 churches, including fair aver
age of city. small city and country par
ishes in and about New York, the aver
age salary is $725. Such a condition Is
not attractive to a young. college-bred man,
who. though unselhshly earnest for the
church, is human. with ambitions for the
comfortable home that his abilities ought
to earn. The result is the repeated state
ment that the inferior men are going into
the ministry, that 'if man can't do any,
thing else he either teaches or breaches"
And yet 1t Is doubtful IL there Is field
for practical achievement In America as
large as that offered by the Protestant min
istry.
