UNCLE SAM GETS QUARRY
tFrom wednesday 5 Advertiser.l

By lease, drawn up by the road
committee and ratified by tho board of
supervisors last night, the federal gov
ernment takes over the Moiliili quarry,
one of the best on the island, and will
retain possession until October.
By the terms of the lease the govern
ment will pay four cents ton for the
sand and rock taken from the quarry
and will also pay SO day for the use
of the crusher. The government, ac-
cording to the committees report, in
tends to take out two hundred and fifty
tons month, which will make the
total receipts to the city for that
period of time SAG
The government is obliged to sell a
limited amount of Nos. l, 2, 3 and 4
crushed rock and sand to the city every
day when the city requires it, for which
the city will pay seventy cents yard.
A weIl-deGned opposition to the
measure sprung up, Mcclellan argu.
ing against it, saying that the
city needed the quarry with no string
on it and that the government always
wanted the best end of everything.
Aylett also opposed the lease on the
ground that it had been made without
consulting him, the city and county
engineer, or Road Supervisor Wilson
Chairman Quinn of the road committee
explained that he had called Aylett tc
a meeting asking him to set his OWL
time, but he never showed up, and he
explained further as regards Wilson
that he intended to ask the latter IS ad
vice on no matters whatever. Aylett
and Mcclellan voted no, but the lease
passed.
During recess the mayor broke
loose and came down on Dan Logan
saying:
"Why is it you supervisors alway.
insist on ignoring the mayor on these
matters. l never knew anything about
this lease until it came up tonight. This
is thing that requires careful con
sultation."
"Well," said Logan, "don't came
mittee. I've got troubles of my own.
"I'm going to call Quinn down
then," said his honor.
"Go ahead" said Logan, hopefully
