tFrom SATURDAY AdNertlser.)
The work of clearing away the cora
from the new public bathing place at
Waikiki is proceeding apace and. 1t Is
expected will be completed in another
three weeks.
The work was commenced three
months ago on the 4th inst Every day
since then, with the exception of Sun
days, gang of twenty prisoners have
been at work in the water from 6.3O
o. IN. to $3.50 p. m.
When the swimming pool Is finished
It will be the finest bathing place on
the beach.
About $50 square feet have been
cleared of coral with the exception OF
several piles of the detached stuff
which have yet to be removed.
The depth of the water at high ttdc
will be between six and seven feet and
at low tide about four feet.
Already the place is being used by
bathers who are generally in evidence
on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

VALUATIONS

Governor carter in his annual report
shows as follows how taxable values
have been hoisied in Hawaii without
proportional Increase of actual wealth
President Mckinley approved the
icint resolution of annexation on July
!. 1895, by which the absorption of Ha-
wall into the Union became a certainty.
In that year the taxes collected on
real estate and personal property
under a rate OF l per cent, amounted
to $685. 02I.
on June Il, 1900. came into opera
ton the organic act" passed by Con-
gress and approved April 80, 1900 Dur
ing that year the actual collections,
with a similar rate, amounted to 1884,
49,
During the year 1905 with like rate,
the collections amounted to S1,l79,99s.
If we deduct the collections made from
March n, 1906. we will find that, had
there been no change in the law, the
income from real and personal prop
erty this year would have been $l.3l4,-
03S.61
Without further investigation, this
would indicate a great increase Oh
wealth. But a slight examination
shows that there has not been a cor
responding increase in the total income
of the Territory. Prior to June IA, 1900,
a large proportion Of the revenues
consisted of customs receipts. When
| these were surrendered to the Federal
| Government it became necessary to re-
| place the loss from some new source or
to reduce the expenditures of the peo-
pie. 1t is exceedingly difficult for a
| community to retrench. People accus'
toned to official management OF vari-
| Gus public services-to a form of gov
eminent covering a wide range of func-
| tions-are not likely to submit to a
| sudden contraction. Hawaii met thu
situation, first, by general acceptance
| of increased valuations on real and
| personal property; next, by imposing
an income tax; and, lastly, by heroic
cut in appropriations.
The figures show an increase in in
| come from real and personal property
Of "a per cent, caused by annexation,
t. e., there was a jump from s535,024 in
1898 to 1884, i52.32 in 1901. Yet after the
reaction of this sudden imitation had
set in the people submitted to still
greater valuations, and notwithstand-
ing constant reductions in rental values
and earning capacity. during the next
four years an increase of 81 per cent.
took place-a jump from 1894, 452.32 in
1901 to 81 l79 99S.21 in 1905. Now, had
there been a corresponding increase in
wealth these figures could be main
tanned. That the taxable values of
property have been too high is shown
by the fact that last year the assessors
We're forced to submit to reduction of
81, OS5 in the total value of taxable
property, as is shown by the follow

SHEEP-Receipts were liberal again this
morning, over forty cars being reported in.
A considerable proportion Of the arrivals
consisted OF lambs. The market as a whole
was in fair shape and not very much differ
ent from yesterday.
Both sheep and ewes were in good de-
mond and sold freely, with the general
market just about steady with yesterday.
As matter OF fact IL was a little higher
In spots and little lower in spots, but the
general market would average up just about
steady. While the market VAS not so very
active, the most of the offerings changed
hands in very fair season.
Lambs have not been quite such active
sellers this week as have sheep. As was
noted yesterday, the trade was a little slow
on lambs, and still they were all sold be-
fore the market closed but a good many
