The Wailuku property holders. being
advanced students in the science U.
political economy, know that this Is in
direct taxation. but their hearts are rs

pair our rickety sidewalks with this
special provision, for they will never
lie satisfied until they have paid one
half OF the expenses. On the other
hand, the Board viii never consent that
the property holders should bear the
entire expense no matter how impoy-
erished the county treasury may be.
