where.

The members of the Board of Super.
visors last night rose in revolt against
the methods of Road Supervisor John
Wilson, and the unexpected outbreak
astonished great many people, and
hone more than Aylett, who immedi-
ately espoused the cause of Wilson
Aylett was at his best last night.
and not only did he make exquisite
speeches on the road digging ordi-
nance but gave the Board valuable
pointers on the way to conduct bust
ness affairs. The Board appreciated
u greatly.
His principal stunt was disagreeing
with the Road Committee on all things
and such was the size of his peeve that
he took every opportunity to break
with his fellow members. Cox and
AHA being absent, Quinn, Kane and
Logan bore the brunt of his fury.
The Road Committee made lengthy
report on a communication received
from Road Supervisor Wilson and not
only condemned his methods but Sup
ervisor Quinn made heavy oral at
tack upon him during the meeting. Ay-
lett was his only champion and his
championship got him into hot.water
with the other members.
Wilson had addressed the Road Com.
mittee asking for more funds and an
examination of his allowance out OF
the appropriation fund OF $4,000 al.
owed him for work up to January /.
/, showed that he was requesting an
overdraft Of s374G.7O. The committee.
with the exception Of Aylctt, came
down on that request with both feet
Wilson asked for the overdraft on
the grounds that December would be II
vet month and little work could be
zone but the committee refused to
take chances or make a lottery out of
| the weather and decided that II the
weather was wet, the full allowance
would be needed to repair bridges and
the damage to roads.
Before the Board, Aylett made q
long speech in favor OF giving Wilson
all he asked for and brought forth
strenuous and pointed opposition from
Logan and Quinn.
Logan save strong answer to his
fellow committeeman, saying In part
! that IF every official and employee Is
allowed to so around and run the coun-
ty into debt we will soon be in the
same fix as the Kauai Supervisors,
who voted away the whole cleanup In
single night"
I'VE must not get into debt" was
taken up by Quinn and became the
slogan under which Aylett and his pro.
| tege Wilson were routed,
Quinn taking the floor, Wilson was
thoroughly drawn over the coa's By
him, that It Will be long time before
he asks for another overdraft. Quinn
pointed to the $1,000 voted out of the
fund for special appropriation for
roads in Kalihi valley and to the Same
amount for The roads around Diamond
Head, for whose improvement Major
Cree has repeatedly asked
"Out OF this sum-" said Quinn -
few hundred dollars was used on each
road, and the rest where did It go?'
He snapped his fingers. That's where
1t went. am tired of the methods Of
John Wilson. have covered him III
and done the best could to help him
out as long as ] could and 1t is time
to make change"
Log III took the floor again, saying
that III, Board should be allSwcd Il
control the Boards business and con
denim" Wilson for attempting to run
the bu.r'ess instead Of lcayins It to
the Sup ..visors
