Bill TO Please Autoists.
Rice presented formidable bill Of
twenty-three pages, the bill embodying
the recommendation Of the Tax Com
missioners and the members of the
| Board of Equalization. The bill amends
many sections of the Taxation Act,
making the law easier in operation and
palmer in construction. The changes
are not radical except in one important
particular, that being the tax on vehi.
cles. BY the bill. the fiat tax of $50
on each automobile is changed to n
rate per year of one cent a pound.
The rate on other vehicles is: brake
or sulky. ~; ox-carts, S.. All the
money collected as taxes on vehicles is
to be put into the special road tax
fund and spent only in the road dis
trict in which the same is collected.
Other Changes.
Two other important changes are
made. one to allow an appeal by n per
son who has not made return and who
under the present law is not allowed an
appeal. Under the bill, by depositing
sum of money with circuit court
Judge, sufficient to cover costs, an APP
peal may be made within thirty days
of the assessment.
Another change allows the sale of
property on which taxes are delinquent
for two years and the issuing of a tax
title.

J ask for "the new Ward Hospital
wherever that is.
) Sheldon's Game Law.
Sheldon presented bill which em
powers the treasurer of each county t
issue hunting permits TO anyone not ;
minor or someone who has been con
victed of violating the game laws.
Committee of the Whole.
The House went into committee OF
the whole at half past two CLOCK and
got to work at once on the items of tn,
, Public Works department relating tC
} the harbor.
Shingle took back all he had had tC
: say previously about cutting down tn,
number of pilots. He thought yester
day that the three on the payroll haC
, plenty to do and worthy of an increas
ed salary. He moved, therefore, thai
F. the pay be put at 1925 a month.
He then announced some changes t,
be made around the waterfront Cap
tain Clark had been, he said, appoint
; ed harbor master in place of Captain
Fuller, resigned, and it had been further
resolved to abandon the present old
pilot house and shift the pilots to the
present harboTmaster' office at the foot
of Alakea street. Then the pilots
would assist the harbormaster and the
expense of an assistant harbormastel
, could be done without.

the pilot boat boys, celebrating on
their hard work and hazardous jobs
He recommended raising their pay from
S45 to $50 month.
Rice and Kaleiopu asked few why's
and Kaniho went on record as opposing
any increase in pay for the man who
ran the Logan ashore
Hihio said the pilot boys should have
more money, of course, but not thu

b the pilot simply steered.
The item increasing the pilots sal

Watchmen Changes.
Shingle then explained that the worl

Head. He moved to raise the pilot
