TAKING
The PINES
TERRITORY MOVES FOR DEGREES
ENABLING IT TO ASSESS LARGE
AMOUNT OF PROPERTY.

The motion of the Territory for de-
crees of judgment in the pineapple tax
appeal cases was filed this morning by
Deputy Attorney General Whitney, and
If approved by the Supreme Court be-
fore whom it will be submitted on Sat
urday morning, means that property
worth $336,60 SO will be levied on by
the officials Of the various tax districts.
The largest assessment of the lot will
naturally come against the Hawaiian
Pineapple Company, which must pay
on property worth $11S,O94 SO, the as
sessment made originally by Assessor
G. T. Wilder being $144,Si5.93. The
Wahiawa Consolidated Company comes
next with a valuation of SIS, 90
which was originally assessed at $780,
1855 90.
The assessment of the Pearl City
Fruit Company is placed at $5O,195 a
reduction from $66,072.20, while the
Honolulu Packing Company got a re-
duction from $25,622 to S23,125. The
Haiku Fruit and Packing got a re-
duction amounting to exictly six cents,
the figure stated in the motion for
the judgment being $l9,2O4 90. In the
case of the Kauai Fruit and Packing
Company and the Hilo Fruit company
there were no reductions, the appeals
being taken by the companies and not
by the Territory. Their valuations
of taxable property are placed at ST.
952. and $19,760 respectively.
With the tax rate at one per cent it
will be seen that the Territory, if the
motion is allowed, will be 1896. OS
richer through the suits which have
been brought for the companies claim
ed complete exemption except in one
case where one concern was willing to
pay taxes amounting to ST. which it
felt were due to the Territory on
money in hand. There will be strong
fight made against the judgments, how
ever, for the manner in which Deputy
Attorney General Whitney figures the
decision of the Supreme court out,
does not agree with that of L. A.
Thurston, Judge Perry and the other
lawyers who represent the pineapple
people.
