Those good people of Honolulu who,
taking the statement from Tax Asses
SOr Wilder published in the Star
Bulletin last week. to the effect that
the assess ments on the sugar pIanta-
trrs of the Territory would drop sef-

coming yeaS, hoped that the real and
personal taxes of the city and county
be reduced also, will have to aban,
don their hopes and prepare them
selves to pay nthe same assessments
next year that they did this.
Speaking of his statement Mr. Will

TIE taxes on the plantations will prob
rbly be lower in 1913 than in 1912, as
pointed out last week. But | see
no reason why this reduction lould
apply to the real and personal prop.

OF course if it can be shown that

He wants another detective sergeant
to keep watch at the police station
and at least four more men for his

In speaking of the needs of his de-

solonS that it is impossible for him
to meet all the calls made upon the
police force. He declared that fire.
quently he mas found himself ali alone
in the police station at night, all his
men on beat or out on calls and that
under such circumstances emergencies
