entire design Of the dock had been
changed Its size had been increased
twice and the features Of its construc-
ton have been radically altered Since
the first plans had been drafted, the
superdreadnaught type of fighting
ship had been built, and not only
must the dock be larger, but the floor
must be able to support the weight of
such vessels. Mr.. Harris abandoned
all idea of using piles and turned to
a method never before used in the
construction OF drydock. Before an
other step was taken, the engineers
made up their minds to know just
what there was beneath the dock site
that was causing the trouble In a
vague way 1t had all been aseribed to
"quicksand," but borings showed that
what the previous contractors had
thought to be hard nan rock about

the deck, rock bottom was encoun-
tered ut 90 feet. One hundred feet
further from the head this ledge had
sunk to one hundred feet. but at the
entrance it was lost entirely.
The information thus obtained is
really responsible for the ultimate sue
cess of the naval officer and the con-
tracing engineer. 1t showed them
the futility of any attempt to use pile
construction. Caissons such as those
used in laying down the foundations
of the great skyscrapers we're sought
as the only alternative, although they
had never been used in this manner
before. Two things had to be guard
ed against: The flow OF the quick
sand in from the sides. with its con-
sequent peril to the big buildings all
around, and the persistent tendency Of
the shifting sands to bubble up in the
center of the excavation. The dock
must have not only strong walls to
protect it on all sides. but floor
sturdy enough to resist the upheaval
of the sands and the downward pres

ming with those of Kauai, and this af-
ternoon the corporations of Hawaii
will be finished for the time being.
But this is only the start, for it is ex-
peeted that the entire week will be
required to study the figures submit
ted in the returns, and to bring about
an equitable adjustment. When this
is finally done, however, it will be up
to- the assessed to accept the changes
that may be made by the board, or to
get busy with appeals. e.. IN.
Speaking for the board this morn
ing, Treasurer Conkling stated that
the present tax laws, which were en-
acted by the legislature of 1911, are
by far the best the territory ever had.
Prior to that time, with fixed rate
of taxation of / per cent on real and
personal property, the needs OF the
government were met by constantly
adjusting the valuations returned to
the assessor. Under the present plan,
the rates are adjustable and the valu-
atoms are presumed to remain stable
except by actual increase or decrease
due to economic causes.
Before IL finishes its session, how
ever. ii vas stated, the board viii
prubabIy l.oint out to the governor the
need OF asking the next legislature to
To-, hSy oh q 0inp the fine
when the tax, rates shall be fixed for
each year. AS it is at present the rates
must be fixed by the first OF each
calendar year This being two me nths
or more before the returns are in for,
the year on which the rates are to
apply, it is obviously at present mat
ter of guessing as to the taxation value
for the year, and hence impossible To
accurately gauge the amount OF taxes
with the needs of the government.
BY permitting the rate to be fixed after
the assessments have been made this
difficulty will be largely obyiated.
1t was stated this morning that some
properey holders are in the habit OF
gauging their returns upon the rate OF
taxation, and not upon valuation, as
the law contemplates.
1t was also brought out that the
school department is likely to suffer
this year because of the probable less
ened returns from the poll tax, due
to the collection last year Of lot Of
back taxes, and to the fact that through
the reduction of the wages of laboTers
on plantations this year, it is going t..
be impossible to collect as much poll
tax money as formerly. The board
may also recommend to the governor
that legislation be asked to obviate
this trouble.
