AGREE TO Change
Street TAX Plan

Holding cut against previous re-
port of the Judiciary committee OF
the senate, representatives of the
board of supervisors this morning sue.
ceeded in swinging several compro-
misses on the frontage tax question.
Chief of these is in regard to the
proportion of improvement expenses
the board shall stand. The first re-.
port Of the committee favored the.
boards paying one-third Of the ex-
,pense for all improvements in add
ton to engineering costs. The COM
promise reached today provides that
the board shall pay this proportion
only on streets whose imDrof sment
projects it initiates. ....>.
On other streets the opinion Of the
committee seemed to be that the.
board should use its discretion re-
gardfng the share it would pay.
Supervisors Logan, Hatch and Hol-
linger were present at today's meet
ing. The two former led the argu-
ment, Logan declaring that the COM
mittee's first Recommendation was
not fair to districts which have al
ready put through improvements at
their own expense. =-:.,.
The committee also agreed to favor
letting the board furnish road build
ing material and machinery to con-
tractors, thing which, it is believed,
will induce more competition in bid
ding on street jobs. ..... r.. r.: -. =. ..

BANKERS OPPOSE
FARM LOAN BILL

City bankers called before the SEN
ate judiciary committee today during
the hearing on the farm loan bill pro-
POSED in the house by Representative
Norman K Lyman, we're unanimously
opposed to the measure.
Among those at the hearing were:
A. Lewis, Bank of Hawaii; K. Bucn-
ly, First National Bank; E. l. Spald-
ing, Bank of Honolulu, and A. w. T.
Bottomiey, Bishop & Company.
Lewis gave the opinion that the ter
ritory should make efforts to faeili-
tate marketing by supplying better
roads and enlarging the present mar
keting division rather than to estaD-
lish farm loan system at the present
time, He felt that the sum of 100000
proposed for the fund is too small to
be practicable, but did not believe the
territory should go into the business
of placing larger amounts in the plan.
Spalding thought the loan fund plan
dangerous from financial standpoint
at the present time, and further that
Legitimate and worthy enterprises
could secure such loans as were need
ed from the banks direct.
Buchly and Bottomley spoke SINH
larly on the subject, opposing the bill.
Treasurer Mccarthy pointed out that
many of the present homesteaders or
seekers after .homesteads could not be
considered bona fide" Many of them
secure the land at low value merely to
sell it for profit.
Judge w. L. Whitney pointed out
features of the bill which would make
it unavoidable. AS the majority OF the
committee are opposed to the measure
it is probablel that recommendation
to table it viii be introduced.
