by Commissioners for Minor

An unusually large crowd vas at
tracted to the Police Board meeting
yesterday by the belief that the case
of Patrolman John Schroeder, of the
Fourth precinct. who was suspended
ten days g for being found. 1t is
alleged, in a drug store at South Or
ange emu and South Seventh street,
would come up. The case was not
called. for, as Secretary Cox explained
after the meeting, I'VE were not able
to get all of the information needed. to
go ahead with the investigation"
As regards to the charge of perjury
against Schroeder President Bladder
said THAI was a point that the board
wanted to investigate first before try
ing Schroeder, as the commissioners
were a little doubtful as TO whether the
perjury charge was as serious as
claimed.
P%atrolnlan George Fl. Ryder, of the
Fifth precinct. was fined twenty days
pay for being intoxicated while OF
duty. His excellent record and prom
Use to take a pledge saved him from

Johr j. Gerell, of the Sixth precinct
were each fined two days pay for be-
ing late in sending in their duty calls
Patrolman William A. Lau, of the
Fourth precinct, was fined one days
pay for the same o~ffense, while thu
complaint against Patrolman George
Y. Neefus. of the Second precinct, fol
a similar o~ffense. was dismissed, as hi
satisfied the commissioners that he wa:
entirely innocent in the matter.
The request for q pension for the
widow and children of Patrolman Johr
McGurty was reported adversely by
Police Surgeon Clark The report wa'
not acted upon until a further investi
cation is made.

NEW PRU TAX
SUIT WRIT is
APPLIED FOR
Review of Decision Cutting
S3l,4S3,8 800 to $7,346,7
Is Sought.

Application was made H. E yesterday
In the Branch Court, T.enton. by City
Attorney Herbert Boggs ijr a writ of
certiorari to review the decision of the
State Board Of Equalization of Taxes,
which cut down the Prudential tax
from S31, 4s3, 800, as assessed by the city,
to 81, 346, 714.s4.
Mr.. Boggs argued that the state
board had been in error in allowing the
y23, al, 229. 6S Of deferred dividend poll
cies, and also the item Of 1891, 22s.6
from which the Prudential claims ex-
emption from taxation.
The application was E.ade before
Judges Bergen, Voorhees, and Kalisch.
The decision will probably be made
Tuesday OF Wednesday. The court
ruled that 1t will not consider the item
of more than twenty-three millions be-
cause this had already been decided by
the Supreme Court In h mandamus
proceedings, in which the question Of
the right of Vivian NJ. Lewis, commits
sioner of banking and insurance. TO in
clude the item in the worcestershire
assets of the company was brought up.
The court held. however, that 1t could
consider the other item of nearly six
millions.
When asked what effect this would
have on the larger item Mr.. g
said today that since the case covered
the entire s31, Asa. 800 the larger item
would be considered again II the court
allowed the writ in regard to the
smaller one.
The step taken by Mr.. Boggs will
act as a stay against the Prudential,
which Is very anxious to pay its taxes
TO he receiver of taxes If this pay
ment were accepted then there would
be no room for argument by the city,
as the acceptance of h amount Of
fered by the company would close the
issue.
It was to hold this up and to have
the courts review the entire case h a
MIR. Boggs made the formal applica.
ton yesterday.
BY the decision of the State Tax
Board the city gained an increase of
1854, $50. SO. The Prudential had been
willing to pay altogether on s6,4S2, 062.5 So.
Naturally the city is anxious that
the twenty-three millions item be
placed back where 1t was before the
action of Mr.. Lewis. The courts had
held previous to his listing of this sum
in the worcestershire column of his re-
port that the city was justified in tax
! ing the deferred dividend policies. AS
a result of his decision the city re-
ceived nearly three quarters of a mil
lion in taxes. 1t was the action of Mr..
Lewis that prevented a continuation OF
! this tax and the law department of
the city will take every legal step
known to it to have this class of poll
cies taxed.

BIDS FOR HAWAII BELT ROAD
ARE MUCH ABOVE ESTIMATES

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
HILO March 8.-By the mail leav-
ing here today the bids made for the
construction of about six and a half
miles of Hawaii's belt road will be
forwarded to Marston Campbell, chair
man of the Belt Road Commission,
and the tenders will be considered at
a meeting of the commission to be
held on Thursday next. 1t is antici-
pated locally that the meeting of the
commission will be held in Hilo,
though the meeting place has not
been definitely decided upon as far as
is known here. Road Engineer Bishop
thinks that it will be held in Hilo and
sees no reason why A. A. Wilson's
bids should not be accepted, though
he has made no recommendations.
in sending in the bids have con-
fined myself to facts" he said, shortly
before the mail closed. "If l am asked
for recommendation l will make
them, but have not done so yet"
A. A. Wilson, who was until few
months back in charge of the Haka
lau extension of the Hilo railroad
the highest bid; on the second con
tracts, the bids for which were
opened yesterday. His figures are
$2449.4O lower than the next lowest
in contract No. 1, and S26,614.65 below
the highest bide; on the second con
tract he has underbid the Honolulu
Construction & Draying Company
Ltd, by S876.53, and the Lord-Youn@
Engineering Co., Ltd, by S5O675'
Even so, Wilson's tenders are consid
erably above the estimate of the cos
of the sections as made by Engineer
Bishop. In contract No. l Wilson II
close on $4,000 above Engineer Bish
ops estimate, while in the second
contract he is between $4,000 anC
$4,000 above,
The first contract is for the con
struction of three sections of the roa'
between Hilo and Hakalau, the frs
stretch being between Wainaku an'
Honolii, the second between Paukai
and Papaikou, and the third between
Honomu and Hakalau. In all, thi
contract calls for the construction .
5.21 miles of road, and upon compile
ton of this work the road between
Hilo and Hakalau should be In, prett!

small sections range from $125,SO'

pany), to $9S,689.S5 "a. A. WILSON,
The aforementioned bid figuring out a

Wilson's bid, it will be noted, is
over 81 per cent below that submit
ted by the Lord-Young Engineering
Company.
Tit second contract is for lhG cen
struction of the relocated Bolabola
road in the Hamakua district, and for
this the Lord-Young Engineering
Company rendered a bid approximat-
ing $4,000 per mile, against \. A.
Wilson's $4,000 per mile. The sec
ton to be constructed under this con-
tract is only 1885 miles in extent, but
it doessaway with the excessive grade
which now exists, though the new
route necessitates the construction of
several expensive culverts, one being
forty feet in height. The relocation
of the road is distinct improvement
over the existing route, for in no case
does the new grade exceed three per
cent, and it is only in one or two
places that it reaches that figure.
On the whole the section to be con-
tructed will be fairly level. The bids
submitted are all well above the esti-
mates made by Road Engineer Bishop.
