KICKS At TAXES
FORM LONG
LIST
Practically AIIArc Made
Against Big
Raises.
Bishop Estate Is Down
for Nineteen
Protests.

nine cases filed, practically all of them
being against very large raises made
by the tax assessor over their returns
of valuation. The Kaneohe Ranch
Company leads, with a raise from
$4sO6.SS as its own valuation of its
property, to $124,93S as the tax Office
figures. This is the highest proper
tionate raise on the list.
The figures generally show excep-
tional raises not only in Kaneohe, but
in othere parts of the "other side'' of
the island. Dowsett estate ranch
property is also very much raised.
Aside from the general plantation
property raises already published, there
are raises which are to be contested,
in lands under lease to plantations.
There are nineteen cases down in the
name of the Bishop estate, but with
the exception of the matter of the
Kamehameha school lands, it is stated
that the estate is not making any con-
tests. The school lands are assessed
for $4,000, and the estate claims that
they are wholly exempt, being used for
school purposes. The other Bishop
estate appeals are ordered by tenants
of the estate. 1t appears that the
Bishop estate leases have clauses which
pass the proposition of taxes and as
sessments up to the tenants, so that
the estate doesn t have to worry over
the matter, and only fights assess
ments when tenants order that fights be
made.
The following is a list of the APP
peals, giving first the figures of valua-
tions returned and second the tax
equalization board rs figures:
