ASSESSORS ARE BUSY
WITH TAX NOTICES
Four Thousand Warnings That
Levy Has Been Raised,
Out by April I.

The force in the tax assessor 3 office
,s working until nearly midnight every
aight now, finishing up the big task Of
sending out notices of raises in taxes.
The notices have to be all sent out by
the end of this month. There are be-
ween three and four thousand of them,
30 that the postoffice clerks will have a
good sized job on Saturday.
Assessor c. T. Wilder says that the
law punches the work too much in the
first three months of the year. All
property owners are required to turn in
their valuations in January, with a
proviso that the assessor may at his
discretion give them an extension of
time. 1t is necessary-to grant extern
sions in. very many cases, and some of
the valuations are not in yet. After
they are in and passed upon, the as
SCISSOR is required to send out notices in
all cases where there is raise by the
board of equalization, by March 81.
That is the job that is. keeping the
force up at night now.
"Some of us are wondering if we
can hold out till Saturday night" said
Deputy Assessor A. W. Nicely. "It is
too strenuous a proposition for all con-
cerned, and the law should be changed
to, spread the work over longer

Shuster and Cairns were too foxy for
the Russians in one respect, and as a
result the men who went out for the
treasurer-general were able to collect
"A year and half pay before they
started for home, and considering they
had been on their jobs less than two
months, felt they had not done SO badly.
Arms tells the story as follows:
"When Shuster had to leave he

sum equivalent to $4,000 gold which
was to be used to pay the salaries of

AUBREY PLANS TO

A. C. Aubrey of the Hotel Aubrey,
Iauula, was in Honolulu yesterday
working on plans for greatly increasing
that country resort on the windward
side of Honolulu. He proposes to add
another building, as well as several
cottages. This move follows an in
crease in the number of inquiries for
accommodations at Hauula, which far
exceed the present capacity of the
hotel. An electric lighting system for
the hotel is also to be installed, with
a gasoline engine to run the dynamo.
The work will probably be started on
April !.
The hotel at present has accommo.
dations for twenty people. 1t is
proposed to increase the capacity to
fifty or sixty persons at least. Aubrey
gays that in the summer season, he
proposes to provide tents for campers
in order to still further increase the
capacity of his place. He has received
so many inquiries from people who
would like to, spend some time at Hau-
ula that he thinks the scheme will be
q success.

Present Site Too Near

p The erection Of a big building on Fort
street opposite the Catholic convent
may result in removal of the convent
TO new quarters. 1t is felt by some Of
those in charge of the Catholic mis-.
sion that the present locality of the con.
vent is getting to be too much of a
business center, and new buildings will
make it worse. Though no definite
plans have been formulated for re-
moval, the matter. has been discussed,
and the unAtness of the present location
is recognized by many.
The convent is on property owned by
the mission, under grant that re.
quires that it be used for religious
purposes, and the site cannot be sold.
It ia claimed, however, that the con-
vent could be moved and the property
used in business way, if the revenues
therefrom were used for religious pur-
poses. II this scheme is followed, the
land now occupied by the convent
would be the site of a big business
block. o. II ,,.i go
Asked about the matter yesterday,
one of the Catholic fathers at the mis-
sion stated that he did not think it had
received very serious consideration yet.
However, he said, threestory business
building going up in the locality raised
question that called for careful con

hagrant grab of territory from weak

no furthr trouble for the aggressors,

of February. Mr.. Ftzsimmons is going

where recuperated, and later went
on to Washington.
"When left Persia everything was
settled internationally, but Persian af-
fairs were in more chaotic condition
