the Administration had better devote
more OF It's attention to collecting
taxes before calling for more taxes to
meet the bills.
The general meeting was well at
tended. some twenty members being
present. +. l.. Waldron occupied the
chair. After the minutes of the
previous meeting had been read. the
matter Of the merchandise tax and
the shippers wharf tax came up for
consideration.
The special committee on trade and
finance, comprising Il. II. Paris chair
man and w. T. Lucas. presented n
report on the license problem. These
two gentlemen had looked into the
matter carefully, and had tried to OBJ
tain from the Treasurer. A. ]. Camp
bell, his Ideas OF remedy for the
present state OF affairs. The report
concludes as follows:
I'VE find that a number of firms
and individuals are not paying the
license fees, according to the law rs
1t appears.
I'VE would suggest that special
legislative committee be appointed to
look into the existing license and tax
laws, whose further duty 1t would be
to consider legislative matters aud
all proposed bills which may be
brought before the Territorial Legls-
lature, 1t being the further duty OF
this committee to confer with q like
committee from the Chamber OF
Commerce, and, II possible, act Joint,
ly.
1T is stated that out of thirty OF
forty commission merchants here only
seven have paid their license fee fol
doing business-$100 each; and that
the Government is losing any amount
of money by not collecting such
fees" -
Mr.. Paris said that Senator Chill
lingworth had asked him to bring uT
the question of whether or not Il
would be advisable to legalize tn,
quarantine wharf tax. He stated thai
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-03-06

suggestions for the legalization had
come from some sources, and sug-
gested that, II legalized, the bill
should designate for what specific
purpc-s the money shall be devoted,
Paris stated that II would only be a
matter of time till some merchant
would refuse to pay the tax.
Mr.. Petrie OF. Castle & Cooke said
the wharf tax amounted to $4,000
per annum. As far as he knew, tho
only ones evading It were the coal
and lumber people. The coal people
object to paying the tax, as the value
of their goods is so small in compar-
ison to its bulk. They consider that
II Is unjust that they should pay that
tax per ton, as coal is only worth
about 81, when a small package of
merchandise worth, perhaps, $1,000,
would only be liable for the ten
cent tax.
Mr.. Angus of Davies & Co. was OPP
posed to legalizing the tax, as that
would result in the money being put
into the public Treasury, and then
1t would be squandered."
Mr.. Won Hamm thought II best to
leave things as they are. The money
was of great use in fighting cpl
denies, and II the coin was locked
up In the Treasury, 1t would be hard
to get It out when required.
Mr.. Lucas of May & Co. did not
think the tax equable. and certainly
not when applied to the grocery bust
ness. The coal and lumber men
could easily add. ten cents to ton
OF coal, and make the consumer pay
1t, but In the grocery business It was
difficult to do this. Consequently his
firm was paying from $50 to 500
per month out of their own pockets.
Mr.. Riggs said that II the Govern
ment officials would enforce the law
properly they could collect vast
amount OF money that would be very
acceptable Just at present. Mr.. King
remarked that the law was weak, but
Mr.. Riggs said that was not the trou-
ble-the law was all right, but the
weakness lay in the proper enforce
ment OF II.
The matter OF the wharf tax was
left as 1t Is at present, but the Mer-.
chants Association will address a
letter to the Shippers Wharf Com.
mittee relative to the coal and lum.
Der people. The meeting adjourned
at 1870.

BOARD BILL, $4,000.
Man disks Brother-in-LaIC to
Pau for T1centy-fUe Years.

Here is a story that should prove Of in
terest TO persons who might be in the habit
of permitting their board bills to accumu-
late instead of settling every week. Not
that many such persons are often called
upon to pay an accumulated board bill or
$4,000, such as figures in this story, but the
principle is the same.
The man who seeks to collect $4,000 for
board Is Joseph Crager, merchant, VINO
lives in West 1SOth street, on Washington
Heights The defendant in the suit that he
has brought in the Supreme Court to COM
pei the payment of this money is Joseph
Cohen, his brother-in-law, retired real
estate operator, reputed TO be worth about
$4,000. Cohen, a bachelor. whose sister
was Mrs. Crager. lived with her family for
sixteen years before her death, in 1899.
when they moved from CarbOndale 10 this
city, and until August l last, when there
was a quarrel between Cohen and Crager,
and Cohen moved to the home Of another
brother-in-law in Mount Vernon.
Now, according TO Crager in his COM
plant, his. rich brOther-in-law never paid
any board while living with his family until
a year ago, when he began paying $25 a
week Crager now sues to recover from
Cohen the value Of board and lodging for
twenty-five years, which he places at S25 a
week, or, in the aggregate. $4,000. Cohen
has not vet filed his answer to the suit, but
i, is intimated that he was TO leave part
of his estate in his will 20 his nieces, the
daughters OF Crager, In lieu of payment for
board
