NOT FORGOTTEN
SAYS MCCLELLAN

81 would like to know who IL hold
Ing up the proposed fly screen ordin-
ance?" inquired Supervisor Low be.
fore meeting Of the City and County
fathers last evening.
This attempt at resurrection OF a
ghost Of departed ordinances brought
his colleague Mcclellan to his feet In
stantly. tn
The ny screen ordinance is not for
gotten. your Honor" advanced Nc
Clellan. r.
"The draft of former measure that
was vetoed by the Mayor has been
turned over to a special committee in
GLIDING members of the municipal
health committee and also Food Com
missioner Blanchard"
The fate OF such an ordinance Is
probmetical. II Is measure that Is
predicted will win the combined OPP
position and antagonism OF the Ash
companies doing business In Hawaii
an waters. Some of these interests
already have legal talent at their beck
and call. The demise of the last ord
nance has plainly demonstrated to
members of the board, that more
carefully drawn document must be
prepared II II Is to stand the test in
the courts.
According to Low, he believed that
the Health and Sanitation Committee
needed a little application OF the
spurs. This was all lost on Chairman
Kruger who was absent, but the sani-
tation committee was quite ably de-
Tended by Mcclellan also a member
Of that committee. 1t Is well known
that Mayor Fern has little sympathy
with the movement for the screening
OF fish, meats and other edibles dis
played for sale at the city markets
He contends that to impose such a
regulation upon the poor down trod-
den fish and meat barons Is down
right hardship
The promise coming from McClel-
Ian that the ordinance was being
whipped into shape was somewhat
cheering news to those who still hope
for more cleanliness and sanitation
around the city markets.

that comes recently Is that the Navy

Navy Department has decided to use
oil for fuel instead of coal on all naval

Of naval officers to Inspect various To-

purpose OF determining sites for fuel

are none on this coast. although q
number have been established on the
Atlantic Coast. II Is probable that one
of the oil supply depots win be estab-

Diego also one at Pearl Harbor, Ha-

these depots have been established II

each mission will be shown by living
characters, costumed in seventeenth

Montezuma and the Aztecs, and the
colonization of California.
