KIHEI PLANTATION
IN LIQUIDATION

Arrangements FOR carrying out the
Kihei liquidation are completed. The
stockholders of record will be paid July
l. The obstacle of the 1000-acre limi-
tation to land holding by corpora
ton, in the Organic Act, was overcome
Baldwin, large stakeholder in Kihei
agreed to accept land in payment for
his stock, instead of cash, AS Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company could
not buy the land belonging to Kihei, it
was agreed that Mr. Baldwin should
accept the land in lieu of the S125,000
which would come to him as a stock
holder under the general rate of $40 a
share. He will execute a lease of the
land to the Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company for a period of twenty
five years, at an annual rental equal 20
six per cent on $125,000. The other
stockholders will be paid for their
stock in cash, the total amount voted
for this purpose being 100000. De-
Quoting Mr. Baldwin's S125,000, there
will be $375,O distributed among the
other shareholders which, with the
$4,000 of debts to be liquidated, will
make $425,0 of an increment to the
local circulation Of money.
While the funds for the payment OF
stockholders will be ready July l, stock
holders will not get their payments
promptly unless they see to it that
their stock is of record in their own
name. There is comparatively little
Kihei stock that is held in the names
of the real owners. The stock not be-
ing a dividend paying stock, purchasers
have not taken the trouble to have
their certificates transferred to their
own names.

some of the Japanese sailors who have
been looking for chances to get to the

Another matter, in regard to which
Tax Assessor Charles Wilder has been
asked to make statement, is in reIa
ton to the assessment, of interests in
leaseholds The present law covers this
matter in a manner which is constant
ly causing trouble. Under the law II
a man owns a piece of property worth
$4,000 which he leases for $500 per
year, it is provided that the lessee
shall pay taxes on eight times the an
nual rental, unless that shall be ex-
cessive, which would amount to $4,000.
The taxes on the other $4,000 would be
paid by the owner of the land If the
lessee should throw up his lease Tho
government has no way in which it can
recover. The plan which has been
suggested for adoption provides that
the owner of the land pay all the taxes
himself
