LEASE FORFEIT
and TAX charge
Supreme Court Holds
That Delay Is Not
Forfeit

The supreme Court handed uOWn
a decision this morning affirming the
decree of the lower court in the case
of c. Apau C Co. against Kwong
Sing G Co. The syllabus says:
Forfeiture: lessees nonpayment Of
taxes.-The forfeiture of Il lease up
on the failure for about two weeks
to perform n lessee's covenant to pay
taxes may be relieved In equity
This was a bill for relief against for.
feiturc OF n lease for breach of the
lessees covenant for payment Of taxes.
Tho second instalment Of taxes for the
year 1908 having become delinquent

Der entered upon the leased prem.
Uses and declared the lease void for
that cause and December % brought
un action against the plaintiffs to quiet

the bill! was to obtain an injunction To
restrain the defendant from proceeding
with the action.
The bill alleged that the failure and
neglect to pay the taxes occurred lin.
advertcntly and by mistake" that De.

Lau Tong. rendered the taxes to the
collected which were refused because
the defendant had already paid them,
and that then on the same day he ten.
dered them to the defendant who re.
fused the.
The plaintiffs evidence does not
show that their failure to pay No
vember 10 was owing to mistake or
forgetfulness, but that they intend
ed to pay and told the collector to
call again. The collector testified
that they told him they would pay
him in a few days. The recital In
the answer of talks between defend
ant and the plaintiffs Is not plead
ing of facts but rather of evidence
in support of the allegation that the
nonpayment was wilful. But as cor
rectly determined In the ruling upon
the demurrer the plaintiffs cause
did not require explanation of tho
delay and therefore the allegation n
the answer that 1t was wilful was
not responsive to the issue, whether
matter of defense or not.
Whether the equity rule upon the
force Of responsive ayerments in 9
sworn answer is applicable to hear
ings on oral testimony rather thar
on dispositions and to statute re-
quiring all bills to be verified b.

edwin FERNANDEZ DID
NOT take MANU'S JOB

II was not Edwin Fernandez who
took away the typewrlting job from
Charles Manu-, as stated in the report
of the Testimony given before the
Graft Committee, but Nagaran Fer.
.nandez, chief clerk of the Journal
Committee.
Nagaran Fernandez states in regard
othe matter that he took the work
away from Manu- and gave II to the
other boys because he found Manu- do.
ing the work during the hours when he
was on duty and using the paper OF
the Journal Committee to do the typ.
ing on. As a matter of fact he says,
Manu- did none of the work, because
what he had done was thrown away.
So, according to the statement made
by Fernandez, Manu- got his SOS for
nothing done.

ers affected. He said that there were
55,6S miles of sewer In the city OF Ho.
nolulu, installed at an expense Of
S5S3.352. He therefore estimated the
cost per foot at 81, which. divided be-
tween property holders on both sides
of the street, would make each mans
charge 81 per front foot.
As the bill contemplated cutting the
total up into ten annual installments,
he did not believe that anyone would
suffer greatly from having to pay for
the sewer system.
No Favoritisn.
Senator Mccarthy spoke heartily In
favor of the bill, expressing the belief
that 1t would work most satisfactorily
to all concerned, by making all prop.
erty'holders help pay the cost of the
sewers passing by their land, whether
they made use of them or not.
A motion to postpone action on the
bill indefinitely, failed to carry. A mo-
ton to pass the bill on second reading
prevailed.

for a special property tax of one quar-.

lother concession from any out
Iside source.
Unless this is changed, It
would probably eliminate all the
lstreet railway transportation now
provided for city employees doing
lefty business. The city has to
Iuse several thousand tickets for
|linemen, inspectors and othor
lworkmen every month. At the
present rate 1t amounts to nearly
$4,000 a year. II the city Is pro-
Ihibited from getting this out of
1.-THE companies 1t will mean they
will have to buy tickets. Before
1.-THE present franchises expire 1t
would mean over half a million
dollars of a gift to the street
railways.
The present intention of the
committee is also to choke off
the youngsters from holding city
office. No one will be eligible
unless rs years of age, and I'M
less resident of the city three
years.
All of these provisions are sub
ject to change. If the people do
not want them, a vigorous pro-
test will cause the committee to
reconsider. The whole PROPOSE
ton will be gone over again and
any changes desired by the people
will be made. The people are in
