In the representatives chamber at
. the capitol Friday evening. the de-
bate or the two bills before the SEN
ate for the extension of the Rapid
Transit & Land Company's franchise
will take place.
Because of the interest which has
been shown by the public in the two
measures. Chairman Brown, Of the
select Oahu committee of the senate,
decided TO have the meeting called in
the larger quarters.
1t is ct this meeting that Governor
Frear will appear, and will perhaps
defend the second franchise measure
which he drafted and had introduced
in the senate through Senator Judd.
Also President L. Tenney Peck has
stated that he will be present. Those
who have been following the course Of
the bills, and the attending warm
statements which have been made ON
both sides. expect to see the head of
the railroad and the head of the terri
tory engaged in a debate before the
meeting is over
The meeting was originally called
for March IA, but was postponed by
Senator Brown, for the reason, he sta
ted, that many wished more time to
study the measures before passing on
their merits at a public assembly.

OPPOSE TAXATION

Without having materially lowered
the tax assessments from the figures
originally fixed, the territorial board
of equalization, after a ten days ses-
sion. adjourned yesterday. As stated
in the Star Bulletin several days ago,
representatives from the plantations
appeared before the board and COM
planned that the tax assessment this
year is altogether too high. Richard
Ivers, of Brewer & Co., Ltd, struck
the keynote of their objections when
he declared that, owing to the low
market price of sugar and the drought,
assessments should be lower this
year than ever The plantations are
assessed at far more than their cap
italized value, declare the plantation
owners, and submit the following fig
ures in proof of their contention:
