of passages, meeting no one, for the
gloom Of death pervaded the palace, at
least in the direction she had taken.
She dared not hurry in spite of the
urging of her quickly beating heart,
but must proceed leisurely, as if she
had a perfect right to be where she
was, should any inquisitive servant en-
counter her. At last, with a deep
breath, she emerged upon the great
courtyard and so came to the gate.
The officer bowed to her, and she
paused for a moment to thank him for
his kindness to her in the earlier part
of the day.

VERY GRAVE PROBLEM
TO DIVIDE THE Cash

The statement of the receipts and ex-
pendtures of the entire Territory clas-
sified by islands and districts has been
sent by Governor Carter to the Ac-
counts Commission and that body will
shortly begin to hold meetings to con-
slider the form of revenue bill that will
be presented at the ensuing session of
the Legislature.
This commission, appointed by the
Governor consists of Senator l., l.. Nc
Candless, Representative w. w. Har-
ris and Mr.. r. II. Trent, who is not
a member of either house. Its purpose
is to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of reve-
nue. measure that will, as nearly as
possible, adjust the appropriations for
the several islands proportionately to
the revenue received. 1t is doubtful
whether this can be done altogether,
but 1t will be the business of the COM
mission to submit estimates and find
out how far the plan is feasible.
Further than this the commission will
differentiate between matters whose en-
pense should be borne by the several
islands and others, which should prop
erly fall upon the Territory as a whole.
For instance, 1t would be manifestly
unfair to charge the whole expense of
the settlement upon Molokai on Maui,
Molokai and Lanai, although the set
tlement itself is in that division.
Again, the matter of the apportion-
ment of the school funds win be taken
up. There are many districts in the
Territory where there would be no
school at all if the expense of keeping
the school open We're borne in large
part by the people of the district, new
ertheless ii viii not be denied that all
children of school age in an American
Territory are entitled to full educa-
tional privileges. This is a problem
that meets even mainland commune
ties, but it is solved there usually by
the manner of the appropriation of the
state school fund, which is separated
| altogether from the county school fund,
the counties levying a school tax by
| their boards of supervisors.
Another problem may arise out of
the proposed plan of county govern
ment-that is to say, If county govern
rhent is agreed upon by any bill which
The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-01-20

may pass the Legislature. This may
be met by a division of the taxes levied
between the Territory and the county
officials. and then the question will
come up as to whether the limit of tax
alton allowed under the law will fur
nish enough cash to keep both Terri
torial and county governments running.
1t may be, indeed, that the Accounts
Commission will block county govern
ment altogether, if the County Act
Commission itself does not block it. But
that is matter to be settled later.
One thing is certain, If the islands
are to have the tax money and other
public funds divided among them in
proportion to the amount contributed
by each, some of the islands will not
in the way of public improvements.
On Hawaii, for instance, it would be
found that there is a shortage of some
thing like $4,000 when the matter was
considered on that basis. That is, Ha-
wall costs the Territory a good deal
more than is paid into the Treasury
from the island, and gets much more
than its proportionate share of appro-
priations.
Still another thing that would prob
ably be considered as a general charge
by the Accounts Commission would be
the expenditure made by the Boa.d of
Health. in which the people of all the
islands are interested alike. In like
class would be the expenditures that
might be made for the Agricultural
Experiment Station.
1t will be seen from all this that the
Accounts Commission has it's work cut
out for it if it is going to draft bill
that will be acceptable, and at the
same time keep equal and exact JUS
tice. The views of local statesmen run
somewhat largely to appropriation,
and their people expect them to get the
money. The point as to whether any
other locality gets what is coming to
1t is too often a minor consideration.
1t will be a part of the difficult task
OF the Accounts Commission to devise
a system of compromises that will be
acceptable. If 1t also knocks out coun-
ty government for the time being
well, no taxpayer is going to weep
about it.

practically fireproof and each depart

this in detail.
The use of concrete blocks does away
with the necessity of Turing strips,
lathing and plastering, as the finish
ing, or putty coat, can be applied di-
rectly to the concrete walls. A fur
ther advantage is the opportunity,
where advisable, to do away with ex-
pensive door and window castings, the
rounded blocks and wall finish furnish

The installation of pipes, vents, wires,

The style of building can be made
attractive at a cost far below that Of
any other durable material. No other
material offers such a combination of
advantages at the same cost. Great
care and close calculation is necessary
in this construction. Certain stand
ards must be maintained to secure a
minimum cost and to reach the full
advantage of the construction and its
possibilities. The architect must be in
close communication with the manu-
facturers of the material during the
execution of the plans. The blocks can
and should be made at the proposed
building site for obvious reasons.

POINTERS ON cuRRANTs.'
How the Horticulturist Will Be Able
 to Realize Profit Out of His Crop.

Says small fruit-grower: Growfna entrants, taking one year with another, Is very satisfactory, providing shipping facilities are good and pickers easily found. A strong clay loam with . northern slope Is probably the best soil and situation for entrants. The plants require space about four feet by six, but will require an annual thinning. which should be done by cut ting out some old wood each time and thinning new growth. :.
 The varieties mostly grown are Red Dutch. Prince Albert, Victoria. Presi- dent Wilder and Cherry. There are no other varieties suitable for certain To- cations, but generally speaking, the ones mentioned do well almost any, where. In growing entrants the long season of cultivation has tendency to evaporate great deal of the moisture, and it is good plan to get the ground well filled with humus, in order to off, set this tendency. Mulching is prac- ticed to some advantage by some grow CTS, but this depends on circumstances and is controlled by the amount of valuable mulching material.
