MAYOR TAYLOR
TIRED OF JOB
WILL GLADLY RETIRE TO PRI-
VATE LIFE WHEN HIS PRESENT
TERM HAS EXPIRED.

SAN FRANCISCO, February ia
report from a trustworthy source gives
assurance that as soon as Mayor Tay-
lors present term of Office is concluded
he will gladly retire to private life. In
fact, the report says, he is already tired
Of his job and he would gladly well
come a retirement at this time, could
he do so without mourning the dis
pleasure Of all Of his friends who sup
ported him at the last election.
One Of the supervisors would also
like to quit the service of the city, and
it is thought that others on the board
are of the same frame of mind. His
excuse was that the duties involved In
the rehabilitation of the city are so
great and important tnat 1t would re-
quire the time of every supervisor, and
that these officials should be able TO
devote all of their time to the city in
stead of to their private business.

Among the other things dealt with
and recommended in the report were
the direct primary law referendum
and recall, a Juvenile court law and
law providing for the distribution of
a portion Of a felon's earnings to his
wife and children. In discussing the
social evil question, the report said:
1T having been recently called to
the attention of your committee that
in certain breaches, the law regulating
a certain so-called necessary evil, the
law was loosely enforced by the au-
thorities. It becomes a question as to
whether it would not be better to
amend said law to the effect that to
the penalties now prescribed under the
law should be added the penalty of
publication of the names of the per-
sons who habitually sought such pla-
ces."
The committee on Parks, Streets and
Public Works presented a lengthy re-
port Of the work done by them in the
past, and also made a number Of sug-
gestiOns for their work in the future.
The committee on Law and Order
reported that they had brought num-
Der of matters to the Sheriff and Chief
of Detectives, and they were able to
state that they had received every
courtesy possible from the gentlemen
The following resolutions regarding
sewer rates were presented and pass
ed:
Resolved, That the present system
of sewer rates is unfair and that an
Act should be passed at the next Leg
islature placing the burden of main
tanning the Honolulu sewer system on
the city and county of Honolulu.
Resolved, That as long as the pres
ent law is in effect it is the duty Of
the Superintendent of Public Works to-
enforce the same against all users Of
alike.
For some weeks past your commit
tee has had in hand investigation of
certain definite complaints regarding
the prosecution of cases of gambling
and unlicensed liquor selling in the
local courts and an inquiry into the
large number of divorce libels record
