What determines land values, any
how? One is led to ask this question
which by the way the experts have
been answering in the Mahuka site
eral months-by the remarkable re-
suits of Saturdays sale of government
lots.
Most remarkable were the prices
brought by the 90 Kuliouou beach lots,
situated some six or eight miles east
of town. AS beach property they must
be considered decidedly second class,
while half Of them do not have a wa
ter frontage at all. And yet these lots
brought practically eight times the
appraised value. The lots average
about half an acre in area, and were
appraised at the rate of about 800
per acre, or $50 per lot. They brought
approximately $4OO per lot, or at the
rate of $500 per acre. To give the
exact figures, the 29 lots sold were
appraised at $15O5, and sold for $12,-
80. One lot, appraised at $40, sold
for $725-almost the record high fig.
ure.
Question: Were the appraisers off
their base, or doesn't public demand
indicate true value? 1t is pretty safe
to say that there will be trouble
a-plenty for the tax assessor in case
he uses the records of this sale es the
basis for fixing similarly located wa.
terfront property.
If the demand exceeded the supply
in the case of the Kuliouou lots, exact
ly the reverse seems to have been the
case regarding the Mskiki tract and

WILDER STANDS
ON OWN GROUND

The weary grind Of the trial o. the
Mahuka site case was resumed this
motning, with Assessor Wilder on the
witness stand on behalf of the Gov
erument. His examination followed
the usual course. He gave his v1lu-
atoms of the various properties that
it is hought to condemn, and then the
attorneys for the respondents took
linn in hand and endelvored to break
down or minimize his testimony. At

Wilder qualified as a real cstote eX-
rert, and Wilder replied that he
wasn't there as a real estate CNner'
at all but as a representative OF the
tax office.
Wilder stated that, as tax assessor,
he considered that real estate, s1ch
as that concerned was capable Of re-
turning from seven to eight per cent
and was valued accordingly. He was
sharply cross-examined on this point,
but nothing sensational resulted. In
fact, the case has passed the sensa.

ANNUAL REUNION
At KAMEHAMEHA

There was a large attendance at
the annual reunion and luau of Ka-
mehameha Alumni Association and
pupils of Kamehameha Schools on
Saturday evening. Addresses were
made by Oscar Cox, deputy sheriff of
Waialua, e. Faxon Bishop, of the
Bishop Estate trustees, and Principal
Perley L. Horne of Kamehameha
School for Boys.
Mr.. Cox, who is one of the alumni,
delivered some very thoughtful re-
marks, He deprecated the frequent
changes in the teaching staff of the
schools, saying that as a rule the
teacher left shortly after becoming
acquainted with his charges. The boys
he advised to seek agricultural en-
ployment after graduating, which was
not hard to find and was less beset
with temptations than town life Mr..
Cox referred to a thousand acres of
land owned by the Bishop Estate at
Waialua which is lying idle and rec
commended that it be thrown open to
the graduates in order that they might
stand a better chance of making their
own Independent living

of school reunions, and told the pupils

PUNCHBOWL VOLCANIC ERUPTION
IS PLANNED FOR THE FOURTH

Although no scientist has predicted
1t, authoritative announcement is
hereby made, that on the evening OF
the Fourth of July, the long dead
crater of old Punchbowl will supply
an eruption which will prove as spec
tacular in its way as the occasional
exhibitions given by the professional
rumbler over on Hawaii.
The Fourth of July committee has
ordained the eruption as a part of the
festivities which will mark the cele-
braton of the Nations birthday.
Punchbowl will provide the site for
the volcanic display and some 1000
pounds Of red and green fire which
the committee has ordered from San
Francisco will do the rest.
1t is believed that the display will
be the greatest thing of its kind ever
seen in honolulu. Ordinary Fourth
of July celebrations on the mainland
generally call for the consumption of
but a few pounds of fire powder so

Tampa, March S.-The jury in the
United States court late yesterday re-
turned a verdict of guilty in the case
Of J. J. Abbott, the Tampa Northern
mail clerk, who was accused of TAX
ing a registered package of $4,000
from the mails. The trial lasted all
week, and the case was given to the
jury at 2:45 p. m. Motion for a new
trial will be filed.
Abbott, his wife and two children
burst into anguished cries when the
jury brought in the verdict.
The pouch was cut open and robbed
as it lay on the transfer platform al
Tarpon Springs. The accidental dis
covery of the money in hollow log
on Abbott's premises by rabbit hunt
ers. led to the latter's arrest. An APP
peal was taken by Abbott before he
was sentenced. He is well known
citizen of Brooksville.
