a complaint was filed in the District

ASSISTANT
COMING
FOR OTWELL

Captain Otwell, United States En-
gineer in charge of lighthouse, forti-

in Hawaii, is to have an assistant.
He has received notice from Wash
ington that a man named Burbank,
who has been connected with Gov
eminent work at Wilmington, North
Carolina, is coming to Honolulu as
assistant engineer.
This looks like business, and the
addition is undoubtedly on account
of the large amount of work in con-

banks work will be largely that of

The date of the sailing of the Ku-

more indefinite, and it is now impos-
sible to say just when the boat will
sail for Vancouver with her load of
japanese emigrants. She has shift
ed from the Quarantine wharf to m

was done in order to prevent the 70
stowaways who arrived in her from
getting ashore. 1t is the intention
to send the Japanese passengers out

The delay in the sailing of the

RECOMMEND Plan
To RAISE TAXES
Supervisors Discuss New
Scheme Proposed By
Committee

A report which the Committee on
Ways and Means of the Board of Su-
pervisors submitted at the meeting
ct the Board last Wednesday evening.
in which several ways of raising o
larger amount of taxes, created con-
siderable dissension among the mem
bers of the Board. The reporl was
gotten up to be submitted to the
Board in the way of recommenda
ton for future tax legislation, and
van as follows:
Your Committee on Ways and
Means to whom letter from A. f..
Judd, Esq, Secretary, Tax Commits
zion of Hawaii, was referred, re-
spectfully report as follows to-wit,
Your committee believes and
recommends that this Board should
recommend to the Tax Commission
OF Hawaii the following changes:
l. That the rate of taxes may
be increased to IL per cent, on
the ground that the assessments Of
taxes now by the Assessors are un-
equal; 1t is known as a fact that
the valuation of the property of the
poor classes are higher than the val
Iation of the property of the rich,
whether they are individuals or COR
porations or otherwise, and your com
mittee fully believes that If the rate
should be increased the valuation
would be evenly made.
2. That the employers may be
made liable for the personal taxes of
the employees, say of those people
who would be employed during the
months of January, February and
March in each year.
3. All males who are sixteen
years of age should pay IS for per-
sCnal taxes, with the exception OF
those who attend day schools.
4. The exemption of $500 should
hA applied only to real estate.
Respectfully submitted,
f. K. ARCHER,
JOSEPH j. FERN.
Dwight and Harvey thought the
. IL per cent. was rather steep.
Hustace said that the County must
have more money. This would show
how much the money was needed.
Harvey said that the raise of taxes
would hurt the poor man more than
the rich one.
Archer said he would be glad to
pay $1,000 taxes if he only had the
in proportion.

recommend that the Tax Assessors
