POLITICS PLAYS
HOB WITH LAWS
No Building, Milk, or Sanitary
Ordinances Because They
Might Cost Votes.

There seems to be a prospect that
Honolulu Will have a building ordnance
commensurate with her needs in the
near future. The supervisors are at
work on such an ordinance now and the
agitation started in The Advertiser bids
fair to bring forth some results.
When Building Inspector Miehlstein
FIRST took Office year ago he called the
attention of the city fathers to the
necessity for a building ordinance and
prepared a rough draft which he sub
mitted to Supervisor Aylett. who as
chairman of the health committee of
the board, is supposed to have charge
of such things. But Aylett had not
got over the idea that he was in office
for the sole and express purpose of
playing politics and as be could not see
where a building ordinance would

no attention to the matter.
AyIett' 5 excuse for passing up the
building ordinance at the time was
that he could not see the sense Of pass
ing any such ordinance when all fees
collected must 60 to the Territory.
Therefore the ordinance went into a
pigeonhole
