CITrS income
FOR I915MAY
Be INCREASED
Territorial Treasurer Says That
Tax Rate and Assessments
Likely to be Higher
SITUATION EXPLAINED
BY col LQNEL MCCARTHY
Rate to be Figured on $s4,-
600, 600 Valuation; Defin-
tie Figures Shortly

Though the city and county must
begin the new, year with the exercise
of the: strictest seconomy, as told in
the auditors stateme Mt published yes
terday, there are hopes that before
long the financial way will be
brighter. X E. b.
Indications now are that tine new
board Of supervisors for Honolulu and
Oahu, and the boards Of Hawaii, Maui
and Kauai will have considerably more
money .at their disposal next year
than the counties we're given during
the year drawing to an end. Terri
toriaf TreasurersC C. j.. Mccarthy says
that Honolulu had approximately
$4,000 less Ais year than in 1913,
that Hawaii c6nntys was cut down
about $98,009 am the other two coun-
ties incomes were reduced in proper
tion, this being Que to the largely re-
dHeed tax assessments.
While the tazArate for 1915 has not
been determined yet it is consid-
cred fairly certain that it will be
raised automatically while assess
ments are likely to, increase, so that
the counties share may return their
incomes to their former level. at least.
"The Hawaii county supervisors
are scarcely to be blamed for the
Strengthened finances and empty treas
TRY that has been facing them this
yea y says the territorial &tFeasarer.
Their budget was prepared on the
basis of an income which was expect
ed to be about the same as that Of
the previous year, but when the as
sessments fell short that income was
actually. cut short something like
500, 900. All tof which was no fault Of
the county supervisors"
The reduced tax assessment Topped
off about $4,000 from Oahu county's
income in 1919, says the treasurer.
In addition the local board was re-
auired toslay away $60, 900, in cas(
reserve fund, under the new law which
affects this island alone.
The tax rate situation is explained
by Col. Mccarthy as follows: The
rate was fixed for this year on the
basis of the assessed valuations of
1918. The total 1913 assessment for
the territory in 1918 was on valua-
ton of about $8S,000, 900. But re-
duced dividends and business of all
kinds, due to the tariffs effect here,
the actual 1914 assessment
down to $84,000,0 ,00e. Thus the tax
rate did not fit the assessment and the
returns were smaller than: had been
figured on. -.
This year, however, the rate will be
figured on the basis. of an $S4,oO0.O00

CAUCUS, PLANS
EXPENDITURES
improvements Proposed in the
Fire, Electric Light and Po-
lice Service of City

Substantial Improvements to the fire
department, the electric light service
and the police and fire alarm system
are planned by the incoming board
of supervisors, all to be installed II
possible before the end Of 1915.
Items for the fire department report
ed to the caucus last night comprise
$38, 900 for additions to the town equip
ment and 28,000 to be equally divided
between the stations to be erected at
Manoa and Kalfhi, making a total Of
$66, 900. .. >. SIN / 80
For repairs and additions TO the
alarm system 81, 900 is proposed. There
is a new switchboard needed at the
station, and in connection with the
line will be device for giving fire
alarm by gong ana semaphore In the
congested business section 50 that all
traffic may get cut of the way OF
the fire machines in good time. At
night red lights will appear on the
semaphore poles when an alarm is
sent out.
i The street lighting system is put
down for $4,000, one-third of which Is
for extension Of the power house. one
third for a new waterwheeI and one

increased to a tWofold maximum. or
enough to provide for all the addition
al lighting that will be required for
q period OF years. Just now the ca
pacity has reached the peak where no
more lights can be carried

WOMAN SUICIDES
At BR|GGSV|[LE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Mrs. Hattie Wood of Briggsvile took
her own life Sunday morning by drown
ing herself in Lake Mason at Briggs
Vile. Mrs. Wood had appeared melan-
choly for few days and it appeared
she was suffering from considerable
nervousness. Her husband, Nathan
Wood, had been in Portage Saturday
night and returned home. Early Sun
day morning, about 5 O'Clock Mrs.
Wood appeared at the home Of her niece,
Mrs. Griffin, and she left there to go
to her own home to get her clothing,
stating she would return shortly. Mrs.
Wood avoided attention as much as pos
sible and it was presumed at the Grit
fin home that she had gone to her
home
Peter Oleson, John Mcdonald and
Cornelius Peterson found the body of
the woman about twenty minutes after
the happening. The body was floating
face downward. The men quickly
placed the body in the boat and made
for the nearest shore where all efforts
to resuscitate her failed.
Mrs. Wood was about so years of
age and besides her husband, Nathan
Wood, she leaves one daughter, Mrs.
Edwards who lives near Oxford.
The funeral was held today at IL
o'clock. Rev. Marshfeld oficiated and
burial was in Big Spring cemetery.
