he was tax assessor? How was it
that he accepted a valuation of the
Cummins property at 100000 when he
was tax assessor and now comes in
here and says the same property is
worth more than $4,000?
T ut seems strange to me that, ac-
cording to Mr.. Pratt's own testimony
the business community has not yet
discovered his value as a real es-
! tate expert. Mr.. Pratt admits that
he has been called upon but very in
frequently to appraise property in
Honolulu. The only time he is used
is when there is a condemnation suit
on. Then Mr.. Pratt is used by the
owners of the property"
Breckons paid his most sarcastic
compliments to Elmer L. Schwarz-
berg, another of the respondents ex-
perts.
''Mr. Schwarzberg," he said, "is
real estate expert, though, strange to
say, his towering genius does not
seem to have been discovered by the
business community. His nine years
experience as a grocery clerk with
Hackfeld & Company undoubtedly fit
ted him to act as real estate ex-
pert, but the only time his services
seem to be in demand is when there
is condemnation suit on hand.
With the magic wand of his fancy
Mr.. Schwarzberg erected at the cor
ner of Fort and Merchant streets g
towering skyscraper. 1t was equipped
with elevators and janitors and fire
escapes and all the other appliances
| of the modern Skyscraper. And it was
filled with busy lawyers standing off
their cruel landlords, with hard-heart-
ed bankers, plutocratic sugar factors.
This great monument to Mr.. Schwarz-
berg's ability was to be financed by
a group of San Francisco capitalists.
Mr.. Schwarzberg erected this magni-
lcent building-on paper. And then
along came Castle & Cooke and leased
the premises-and the building crum-
bled. The San Francisco capitalists
could find no other place in all Homo
lulu whereupon to erect their sky
scraper and they packed up and left.
Now the lawyers are busy in other
places trying to stand off their land
Tlordis; the frenzied brokers do bust
ness on the same old curbs; the sugar
factors are struggling in such dilap-
idated buildings as that of H. Hack
field & Co., away down on Queen
street out of town, to keep from los
ing the management of their planta-
tions. And Mr.. Schwarzberg's mas
sive intellect seems to have remained
undiscovered by the business men Of
Honolulu-until he is wanted to tes-
tify in a condemnation suit"
Diminishing Schwarzberg, Breckons
proceeded to go into the figures given
by the various experts and analyze
them. He excused the conflicting
statements made by Tax Assessor
Wilder on the ground that Wilder had

Once the board has settled the
values, there will be no chance of get.
ting the treasurer or the tax assessors
to change the figures. The only thing
possible is protest to the tax appeal
courts.
The board took up several small
matters this morning, and will dis
solve on Monday. The country asses
sors will be returning to their island
homes on Tuesday.
On the two-thirds of one per cent
basis, each of the other islands will
receive the following amounts: Maui,
$235,259.1S; Hawaii, $256,094.2O, and
Kauai, $18349O96. Each county is
to get two-thirds of one per cent of
its total assessment.

only three hours in which to prepare
a statement for Governor Frear as to
the value of the Mahuka site prop
erty, whereas Reidford had three
weeks. He called Arthur Nicely the
best witness who had testified in the
case.
Of course, the efforts of the opposing
attorneys are devoted principally to
trying to persuade the jury that the
weight of the testimony leans their
respective ways. The jury will prob
ably have a chance this afternoon to
deliberate as to it's verdict and it is
possible that the verdict may be re-
turned some time today.
Yesterday afternoon R. B. Anderson
spoke for nearly two hours on behalf
of his clients, Castle & Cooke. He
analysed in great detail the figures
given by the various experts and in
sisted that the valuations given by
the experts for the respondents were
the proper ones and should be so re-
garded by the jury.

PARCELS POST ABROAD.

ffrOin the BrattlehOTO InOcniX)
In answer to tie inquiry of corre-
spondent as to how extensively the par
cells post system is patronized in Great
Britain, whether the rates are uniform
for all distances. and whether the SER
vice is profitable TO the government, the
New York Tribune gives reply which
is full OF Information.
Tire system was begun on August :.
lsSi, with a prescr, ton of maximum
weight OF seven pounds. length Of three
ard one-half feet and length and airth
coglbined of six feet. The rates were six
cents for one pound, T. cents for from
one to three pounds is cents for from
three to five pounds and q cents for
from five to seven pounds. In 1885 tho
maximum weight was increased to II
pounds and the rates were reduced. ana
a later reduction makes the rates at
present six cents for one pound, eight
cents for two pounds. 10 cents for three
pounds. ~ cents for five pounds. "A cents
for seven pounds and two cents for each
additional pound up TO the maximum OF
II. The maximum dimensions remain un-
changed from the first. Rates are uni
form for all distances, so that a package
A. inches long and 10 inches thick and
Weighing II pounds may be sent from
one end of the kingdom to the other
for % cents. The system prevails among
the British colonies, and the general
scale of rates for parcels carried across
the sea is shilling UP to three pounds,
two shillings thence to seven pounds
and three shilllnss thence to the maxi
mum of II rounds-1l pounds from Eng
land to Australia for Is cents. The sys.
TEN is also In vogue in practically all
other civilized countries except in the
United states.
The extent to which the system Is pat
ronzed may be seen from the statistics
OF its growth. It began on August l, 1883.
GELS were carried: in the next full year
nearly % a" 60; in 1890. nearly 100000:
in 1907, nearly 100000, and in 1905. 1921
GEO. Precise details of tho financial re-
suits of The government are not at hand.
but it is to he observed that while the
United States has only just succeeded in
making its postal service self-paying, tho
postal service of Great Britain has al
ways been source of large profit to the
government. In 1Ssi-'S5, when the parcels
post was new. the yearly surplus was
growing ever since until in 1@N5-'06 II
was S7,700oo0. Certainly, then, the par
cells post cannot he serious financial
burden to the government. while that
