AND HE STILL LIVES

Three worlds records on a one
mile circular dirt track were broken
at the Maxwellton field at st. Louis
Sunday by Barney Oldfield. Old
field set new marks by making the
mile event in "A seconds, the two
mile event in 1927 and by negotiat-
ing five miles in $40 20. The for
mer records in the first two events
were made by Oldfield and the five

That Mr.. Oldfield is still alive is
a mystery for he is one of the most

serious accidents but each time es-
capped without serious or permanent
injury.

FRONTAGE TAXATION PRINCIPLE

pointed to gather data relative to ex-
penditures on roads made by the pres
ont board CT supervisors CT the City
End County OF Honolulu. during their
term Of office. begs TO report as
follows:
Act l4J OF I'LL, provides that in
January Of eacr year the board CT SUI
peryisCrs shall submit to the assessor
estimates of the amount that will be
required from general property taxes
for city and county purposes that
year. The treasurer Of the territory
also submits an estimate Of territorial
reeds fer (a) maintenance OF school
buildings and grounds and tb) school
salaries and expenses; interest sink
ing fund and tax collection expenses.
IpCn these estimates the rate Of taXd-
tiCn is fixed. In estimating the rate
the assessed valuation Of the proceed
ing year is taken as a basis. II the
estimate OF the board Of supervisors
for current expenses exceeds one-haf
CT enc per cent CT the previous year S
valuation II is reduced to One-half Of
enc per cent. If their estimate for
current expenses and permanent i'm
provements combined exceeds two
thirds OF che per cent, it is reduced to
two-thirds CT one percent II the super
visors submit no estimates the rates
ceives no share Of the taxes paid by
the wireless telegraph companies and
the Inter-Island Steam Navigation
Company.
Act IS of 1911. provides that the
funds needed for schools (salaries)
shall be a first charge on the taxes
collected from real and personal prop
erty. The effect of this Is that If the
assessed valuation for any one year
should be less than the preceding year
(which is the basis upon which the
rate is fixed, or tax collections should
fall short of the estimated amount,
the county and not the territory suf-
fers. Out of the first taxes collected
the territorial treasurer retains the
amount of the school budget, together
with the amount required to meet in
terest, sinking fund, and cost OF as
sessing and collecting taxes, the bal
ance, whatever it may be, being turn
ed over to the supervisors for city and
county purposes.
Another point The budgets are
made up and the rate is fixed in jan
uary, but the assessed valuation for
the year is not, and cannot be deter
mined uptil sometimes as late as
July. Consequently for the first SIX
months of the year the figures are
estimates, as are all fig
