The document admits the existence

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-09

A decision was handed down by the
Tax Appeal Court this morning in the
case of the Waianae plantation VS. Tax
Assessor Wilder. The property was
returned at $4,000 by the plantation
and raised to 100000 by the Tax AS
SCISSOR, from which appeal was taken.
The decision places the valuation at
1851, 4S4.50 which is a substantial in
crease over the figure of last year and
thus victory for the Territory. The
only large item in which change is
made is that of the assessable valua-
ton of 1882 acres of land owned by
the Government, the lease of which
will expire in three years.
In this matter the decision is pecu-
liar. The assessment was placed at
500, 900 under Section 2S3 of the Re
vised Laws, which makes it manda-
tory that for the purpose of taxation
the value of general leases hereafter
executed shall be the vGfue of the Tee
of the real estate demised and lessees
shall be assessed accordingly"

NEW STREET
ON FRONT

The final arrangements were COM
pleted this morning for the cutting
through of Kakaako street to Hale
kauwila street, which will give an
other opening to the waterfront at its
Waikiki end just Eva of the Honolulu
Iron Works. The necessary land was
obtained from the Bishop and Dow
sett estate, who decided it to the Ter
ritory on condition that the street be
filled in and properly graded. A salts
factory arrangement has been made
with the county for this and the work
will be commenced in the very near
future.
Another matter of this kind which
is being taken up is that of the extern
sion of Smith street. This has been
placed in it's final stages and it will
probably be run trough to the water
front within a very few weeks, provid-
ed that the county can handle the
work.

TAX COURTS DECISION
wA1ANAE PLANTATION TAX TROUBLES PROBABLY TO
SUPREME COURT FOR DECIsIoN-LAw PRACTICALLY MADE
TRIBUNAL OF LAYMEN- IN WRITTEN OPINION.

The appellant held that the lease
should be taxed under the enterprise
for profit law which says the combined
properties making the basis for an en-
terprise for profit small be assessed
as a whole on its fair reasonable ag-
gregate value"
The court holds that under the first
section quoted, if the lease had but
one day to run after January 1, the
tax assessor would still assess for
100000, which would be unfair. On
this ground the section is declared
practically void by the court and the
valuation is made under Section 1916.
Here again is a peculiar matter. The
tax assessor holds that the value of
the property in fee simple is 100000,
while the value of the leasehold,
which has but three years to run, is
held by the court to be one-third OF
this amount, $S3,22O. If the decision
is sound, there are two laws in con-
flict, so that probably both sides will
want to hear from the Supreme Court
on the subject.

road, the first bit of track on the Pa
cific coast, the iron link that proved
to be the undoing of the spurious San
Francisco & Washoe railroad, dropped
mysteriously into the hands of the
Central Pacific company.
The opposition, defeated, yet never
dead, still cried "Wolf!'' But no cry
was loud enough to futter the brave
men at Sacramento. Only nature and
the nations extremities could retard
them now. And against these enc.
mics in the open, officers and en-
ployes, down to the humblest, took
heart of grace and charged again the
rocky ramparts Of the Sierras.
When the angel of death swept
down in the breath Of the powder flash
upon James Sackett, an unborn child
was blighted. It came later to it's
birth, only to sigh and pass to the
care of him who rules life and two
eternitiss. Through weary weeks the
mother fingered. unaroused to conva.
leecence by hope or by skill Of ply
sicians. The warm frontier heart Of
the town watched and sorrowed with
her, +cheerfully adding the burden to
their. laden shoulders; supplying all
possible comfort and every obtainable
luxury.

sickroom, reported daily to Alfred.
