yesterday after the noon meeting Of
he board of supervisors, although he
ias until Saturday to make up his
mind whether he viii affix his sigma
ure, or not. Pressure, it is said, is
being brought to bear upon the city
officials by powerful market interests,
lacked by legal processes to prevent
he bill being signed.
The bill is one of the most ambitious
assed by the present board of super.
isors, was designed to prevent fresh
pods, exposed for sale in public mar
cts, from being contaminated by flies
md other insects, and was framed
largely through the efforts of Terri
orial Chemist Blanchard and City
physician Mackall, and introduced by
Daniel Logan of the sanitation and
lealth committee.
The bill was seconded by Mcclellan,
put has been violently opposed by Ay.
EFT of the same committee, on the
round that the ordinance may raise
he price of bowl of limu from TWEEN.
y-fve to thirty cents when he goes
o the market Saturdays to get his
sunday supply.
Aylett Opposes Everything.
When the ordinance was brought up
yesterday Aylett made scene and pro-
ested loudly that the clerk IS minutes,
moving that at the bills passage at
bird reading last meeting, he had vot-
d for II was wrong. He declared he
lad voted no, but qualified this by say
ng he had voted aOle, the Hawaiian
word for no. Other members smiled
when Aylett protested he had voted no.
At the time the vote was taken at the
ormer meeting Aylett was buzzing a
constituent in corner of the room and
lad voted without knowing what he
vas voting on.
Finally, Aylett broke out in Hawai-
an, the tenor of which was that there
vas no law which compelled him talk
before the board in English anyhow,
md he would talk in Hawaiian if he
wanted. His TRADE was accepted re-
,ignedly by the members, the news.
oapermen and spectators, for it will
)nly be a matter of two weeks before
Aylett will retire from the board at
which he has been an obstructionist to
improved conditions throughout.
Aylett showed his craftsmanship, also,
voting against the antispitting bill.
Although the matter has been explain
ed to him over and over again, he al
ways inquiries with an attempt at face
siousness, if he win be required to- spit
lp in the air, and the mayor often
chimes in with the same request. No,
Mr.. Aylett and Your Honor, you can
spit in the street and cutters, but the
ordinance is designed to prevent spit
ing upon the sidewalks and upon the
floors of cars and public buildings.
The vote on the antispitting ordl-
nance was a surprise, for it only carried
by one vote. Aylett, Cox and Kane
voted against it; AHA, Logan, McClel-
an and Quinn voted for it, passing it
at third reading.
Cox made the remarkable statement
that he couldn't understand why that
ordinance and many Others should be
passed, for he wondered who would en-
force it. That raised a question in his
mind and he said he would oppose the
bill. He said the ordinance was likely
to make people spit more than ever,
and particularly in places where he
shouldn't
Tantalus Auto Ordinance.
At the request of member of the
board the clerk was instructed to adver-
tise a meeting for Friday evening for
the purpose of discussing the proposed
revocation of the Tantalus auto ordi-
nance. The call is published in this
issue and requests the presence of all
interested to be present to meet the
road committee. Judge A. G. NJ. Rob-
ertsOn and others oppose the repeating
of the law, which at present prohibits
autos from travelling over the Tantalus
road.
