HAS
HISLAUREATE TO
sing HIS GLORY
Mr.. Bolts Appoints Himself
Court Poet and Here is His
First Madriual

The weary tasks of the city hall
newspaper reporters have been light
ened. Until today city employees in the
Mcintyre building could glance out
of an open door alpest any time and
see reporter whiz by. from office to
office.
Today all was bliss and quiet. The
reporters sat in Mayor Lanes recep-
tiCn room smoking cigars, As they
blew the smoke wreaths into the at
mosphere they drowsily watched e. J.
Bolts. local newspaperman who yes.
terday was appointed to the position of
purchasing agent, pound on squeaky
typewriter. Bolts was 'turning-out'

he handed his stories" to the waiting
reporters. *..... ~. T..

ers since taking office that have de-
cided to take the matter in my own
hands and save the mayor valuable
time"
Forthwith he submitted a story
which fringed on what is commonly
called press agent copy" Part OF it,
the post-mortem feature, is the fol.
lowing:
While budget after budget has been
passed by the different boards of SUI
pervisors who have had their day In
the municipal building. it has remain
ed for Mayor Lane to give the first
formal notice to the city fathers that
a budget has been duly passed and
signed.
This Is but an instance to illus

Lane assumed office. Though the stat.
ute would seem to require the chief
executive to give written notice to the
board on the passage of the budget or
semi-annual appropriation bill, the
measures have gone through hereto.

"A gasp Of surprise has escaped
many who have visited the mayors
office in the last few days and seen
the Transformation which has taken
place there recently. The. place has
been cleaned from floor to ceiling,
curtains have been hung and the may
or's Office converted into a room into
which one may usher a visitor without
an apology.
THE formal letter sent by Mayor
Lane to the board on the passage of
the appropriation bill epitomizes the
difference between the former and
present chief executive. It my also
be taken to indicate the effectiveness
of Mayor Lane toward the business

Fight MAYBE
MADE AGAINST
JOB FOR AYLETT
Some of Supervisors Talk OF
Reconsidering Action in Ap-
proving Appointment

That a movement is under way
among the new supervisors TO foreeIa
reconsideration of the appointment or
r. w. Aylett as superintendent OF the
city and county garbage system with
the view or securing another. Is the
rumor current in city hall circles to-
day.
1t is reported that Supervisors Hor-
ner, Quinn, Logan and Larsen are
planning TO bring the matter up be-
fore the end Of the month. They as
sign tile reasons that Ay1ett was APP
pointed for political reasons without
regard to efficiency. It is stated.
Linked with the same rumor comes
the report that Mayor Lanes appoint
ment of l.. NJ. Whitehouse as success
sor to City Engineer Wall, which was
confirmed by the board at recent
meeting, may yet meet with strong
opposition. 1t is stated that the APP
pointment of city engineer may be
brought up for reconsideration and
that Wall may not be displaced on
January 81.
''City Engineer Wall has saved the
city thousands of dollars in the few
ncaths he has been I'm office" de-
clared Homer to the Star-Bulletin to-
day. land he has worked tie city and
county's mules instead OF allowing

and hiring contractors animals In.
stead, as was the previous practise.
Also he has made the rock quarry pay
expenses. instead of allowing the cost
of maintenance to climb so high that
1t appeared necessary to buy rock
from contractors, as also was the pre-
vious practise.
There is no logical reason why
Wall should be discharged. He has
many things to his credit and the
only thing they can possibly throw
up against his reputation Is that mo-
lasses road affair. When the facts
are known it viii be ascertained that
Wall was forced to put on .n1olasses
against his better judgment. The
only logical excuse for removing Wall
is because he happens to vote the
Democratic ticket.
One man who ought to go, how
ever" he continued, is this man Ay-
lett. He knows nothing about con-
Quoting the garbage plants and has no
system about him at all. He can pull
a few votes, but when we were cam
paigning we promised the people of
Honolulu good government and effi-
cheney. Can Aylett assist I'M carrying
out that promise? Certainly not.

The road work is being done entire

made toward its completion. When

cent will be on the fill. The road
will not be macadanAized as it has a
base of black sand which compacts
and forms an excellent driveway:
While there may be some delay in

1T is interesting to note" says Mr..
Forbes, that the majority of the road
work has been dene with the money
coming from payments made by home
steaders who own land in the district
through which the road passes All
of Che money received in this way
has gone toward the building Of this
road. Up until two months ago there
was no money available, but the de.
partment was allowed an amount from
the governors contingent fund to con-
tfnue the work. This win keep the
work going until further land pay
ments are made.
The section of land from where the
prisoners are now working to the con-
nection with the Tantalus road has
never been surveyed This will re-
quire at least mile Of further road
construction. AS the department nov
has some funds available the survey
to Tantalus will be begun at once.
Mr.. Forbes says that as far as the
completion of the work is concerned
the prisoners may very advantageous

The completion of the road Will
make q complete circle, taking in Ma

Plan new LEAGUE
TOCONDUCT Fight
ON TUBERCULOSIS.

Membership in the anti-tnbercuiosis
forces will be opened TO every person
in the islands, IL the plans OF the
executive committee Of the Anti-Tub-
ereulosis League as outlined at q meet
ing this week are carried through.
This action was taken as result OF
the decision reached at the annual
meeting OF the league last month. The
old organization has more or less au-
tomatically passed out of existence
through the dissolution OF some con-
stituent members such as the Mer
chants Association and Red Cross So
eiety.
The present plan Is 30 offer two
classes of membership, one for adults,
costing one dollar year, and the 9TH
er for juveniles costing 25 cents. The
officers viii be elected annually by
the entire membership and the execu-
tive committee will be appointed by
the president.
This is the plan which is at pres
ent being considered and probably the
one that will be adopted. II has been
desired for some time to make the
Anti tuberculosis League more inclus-
i've than IL is at present. The ieague
now is composed Of delegates from
the board OF health, medical society
chamber OF commerce. and similar
bodies having civic interest In the
tuberculosis work.
The meeting which drew up the plan
of REORGANIZATION was held at tho
University Club and attended by DR..
Hobby, DIR. Wood, Dr. Sinclair and
James Al. Rath.
