WOULD TABLE BILL
Dowsett reported for the Ways and
Means Committee on House Bill 119,
as follows:
The bill seeks to amend Section
1895 of the Revised Laws OF Hawaii.
as amended by Section 9 of Act SO of
the Session Laws of 1905. making Il
mandatory upon the assessors of the
different districts to pay to every dep
"a, F,,n ,tugi ion
all personal taxes collected by him.
hut does not authorize the payment OF
any greater commission to the differ
Cnt assessors than Is now authorized.
II also eliminates from Section 2.
Chapter 50 of the Session Laws of
1906 that provision which reads "ex-
Cept when such commission or salary
shall not amount to the sum of 5000
Der annum, then the assessors. with
the approval of the Treasurer. may
increase such commission or salary
| to an amount not to exceed 5000 per
annum"
In the opinion of your committee
the passage of this bill would not on
ly have Il tendency to interfere with
the economical administration Of the
Tax Bureau, but would very materi-
ally cripple the work of collecting
taxes In certain of the outside taxa
tlon districts. and your committee
therefore recommends that the bill be
laid upon the table.
II also reported on other bills as
follows:
COULD AFFORD TAX
Your Committee on Ways and
Means. to which was referred House
Bill No. 1iS, amending Section 25G6A
of the Revised Laws, by striking out
the words FOR filing annual exhibit
of domestic and foreign corporations
twenty dollars" begs to report as fol-
lows:
We feel that corporations doing
business in the Territory receiv,
large benefits from the Government
under their charters, and while tn,
ice of twenty dollars may perhaps b,
hurdensome upon few small corpor
ations, we do not believe that 1t II
generally oppressive, and therefore
recommend the tabling of the bill.
STRONG FOR COLLEGE
. The Committee on Ways ant
. Means. to which was referred Senat,
: Bill No. IS, making special appro
priations for the use of the Colleg
. of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts o
the Territory of Hawaii, highly ap
proves of the objects of the bill, an,
the appropriation OF $4,000 for tn
erection of building or buildings 70
, the use of said college out of tn
loan fund, which we recommend d
pass.
But the committee feels that
would be better to eliminate tn
whole of Section 2, making Sectio
) to be Section 2.
In place of appropriating $500
for the maintenance of the college 4
this bill, your committee recommend
that an item OF 81 1000 be inserted /
the bill for current expenses for tn
next biennial period for the mainte
nance and support of the College @
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts of tn
Territory of Hawaii. We think
would be better to make this chang
which we strongly recommend.
