(Erom Wednesday AdvertiSer.l
Emulation Of congressional methods
occupied largo portion of the super.
visOrs time at regular meeting held
last night. Aylett started the fuss,
that being his specially recognized
privilege, and Supervisor Logan at once
placed him in the category of insur-
gents.
Aylett suffered this through his do
Tense of one John Wilson, long suffer
ing road supervisor of the Honolulu dis.
.trict. John Q. Lane lately commun.
icated with the board regarding an &C.
tion of Wilson'S regarding the quarry
on Alewa Heights to which the county
must pass over Lane IS land. The city and
county had an arrangement with him
by which they paid him a cart load
of dirt for every day they used the
road. The committee said:
"We were very much surprised to
find on investigating, that Mr. Wilson
had leased the quarry and rock crusher
to Hoogs 6 Belser for $3.50 per day
without any authority from the road
committee or the board of supervisors.
We do not object to the said company
or parties using the rock crusher or
| quarry, but permission should first been
granted by the board as on this par
ticular instance. They are using the
rock for building the road on Alewa
Heights for the Territory"
Following this the committee, mean
ing Jim Quinn, handed Wilson roast
for acting without authorization by the
board. It was TO this roast that Aylett
objected. He was finally placed in the
insurgent" category by Supervisor
Logan, who, sitting nearest to him, suf-
fers the most.
Quinn said he thought the report was
very lenient and that Wilson ought to
be struck by the comet or words to that
effect. Then motion came before the
board to hand the report back to the
committee. On this there were three
ayes and three noes, AHA who came in
late, asking for unanimous consent to
be excused from voting. That lost the
motion.
Then the roll was called on a motion
to pass the report and AHA demanded
vote. Aylett exploded and said AHA
WASH It entitled to one, having been ex-
cused. Logan got the floor again and
rendered long verdict on the merits
of the case, quoting from the Congress
sional Becord. Then he called Aylett
an "insurgent, who was very much
pleased, not knowing what it meant.
The report was finally passed by four
to three and Wilson gets another brick.
Maternity Home.
The committee on health and santa
| ton returned a report on the dispute
with the Kapiolani Maternity Home,
that institution having asked for a fifty
cents per diem increase on county
cases. The board objected to this, Civ.
! ing their cases to the Palama Hospital
temporarily and instructing the com.
mittee to make arrangement with the
other institution.
The committee reported that they had
seen Mrs. J. M. Dowsett, who stated
that the Home could not pay expenses
with less and an agreement was finally
reached by which two dollars day was
to be charged until next July and the
Homes rate paid after that.
Kane kicked about the committee
acting with what he claimed to be no
authority from the board and said it
was not right to burden the city with
the additional expense. Logan defend
ed the agreement and Aylett gave some
statistics on the matter, which show
ed the home to be necessity and the
rate far cheaper than the expense of
the city building its own hospital would
come to. The report was passed.
The Russians.
The same committee reported on its
interview with Governor Frear accord
h D. .Lg
ing the city g share in the quarantining
of the Russians at Iwilei. The Governor
| is reported to have admitted that all
quarantining came under the duties of
the board of health but as the Rus
slams were lawfully in the Territory, the
city should take care of the garbage.
The committee endorsed the Governor IS
opinions and appended $45 bill for
garbage collecting in the camp, which
was ordered paid.
New Morgue.
A communication was received from
President Mott-Smith of the board of
health asking the city and county to
share the expense of a new morgue
building, the old one having been hap
PLY burned down. He stated that the
board of health would take over the
dispensary and place its psychological
and tuberculosis bureaus in the dispen-
sary building, leaving the new build
ing for post norton work only.
Kane opposed the request on the
grounds that the new building might
cost $4,000 and the city would have
to pay half, whereas they could build
their own modest building for thou
sand dollars and not have TO clear out
every time the Territory said they must.
