TAXPAYERS AFTER
SCALP OF AYLETT
They Charge Superintendent OF
Garbage With MiSfeasance
and Ask His Dismissal

There was short meeting of the SD
PcrVlsors last night at which routine
matters were disposed of. The only
business which caused a ripple on the
quiet surface of things was a petition
signed by one hundred and seven voters
complaining against the manner of con
Quoting the garbage department of the
city. The petition was as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens and
voters of the city Of Honolulu, hereby
protest against the continuance in office
of R. w. Aylett, as superintendent of
garbage of the city, on the following
grounds:
''ihOt the said Aylett does not at.
tend properly to the duties of his Office.
mat he is incompetent to handle
the duties of his Office, in particular in
the following respects:
He does not attend his office when
the wagons leave in the morning to
see that they are started on their
duties.
" He is so running the Office 30 that
it is running behind in the sum of
$500 every month.
- He pays no attention to well found.
ed complaints
" He remains in the stables continu.
ally and does not actively attend to
seeing that the duties Of his Office are
property carried out, leaving that to
his sub0rdinates.
"That the said Aylett has continu-
ally appointed TO office under him, re.
lntives and faVorites who do not prep
rrly perform their work, to the detri-
ment Of the department and the annoy.
ance Of the citizens of the city.
"Thnt the said Aylett is so carrying
on the business in connection with the
stables Of the department that the
same ARE detriment to the city and
great expense to the taxpayers.
''4our petitioners request that he be
removed from office and that a person
competent to handle the business of
said department be appointed in his
stead.
The petition was referred to the
health and Policf committee. In speak
ing Of the complaint made by the
voters it was the impression of Super
visor Ahin, that ii was an attempt to
get the "Eour" Of Aylett, engineered
by Joe Al" and John p. Mendoza who
were discharged from the employ of the
garbage department on the complaint
Of Aylrtt that they did not attend to
their work.

BRITISH NAVAL
- STRENGTH 100000

In response TO a formal question by
sir Gilbert Parker in the house of com
mons, early in April, DR.. T. J. McNa.
mara, secretary to the admiralty, gave
out the following figures in regard to
the personnel of the British navy:
- As regards the navy proper, when
war broke 0pt there were about LAG,
900 officers, men and boys on the ac-
tive service list. TO this number must
be- added about $1,000 reserves.
BY subsequent vote of Parliament,
the numbers have steadily increased,
and we were authorized to work
up to maximum Of 350,0OO officers,
men, and boys, by March 81, 1915, IL
necessary. OF that number we bear
something like 100000.
The question of the men engaged
IN ship construction, repairing, and in
auxiliary work upon which the main.
tennnee and fighting efficiency Of the
fleet depend, is very much more diff.
fcult to arrive at.
Thousands In Dockyards
- In the first place, we have some
where about $4,000 men engaged in
the royal dockyards and other naval
establishments.

WAGES WILL
NOT DECREASE


Wages will never 60 below
what they are today, irrespective
of the price of sugar in New York,
but will rise as sugar rises above
seventy dollars a ton.
The present bonus system will
also probably be retained in some
form, thus affording a double in
centive to the laborers to remain
permanently on their respective
plantations.
Respecting the decision to
adopt a minimum wage without
any fixed maximum, one of the
trustees OF the planters associa-
ton said yesterday:
COST OF LIVING
ALSO FIGURES
I'VE do not know what the
minimum price of sugar will be,
but everyone knows there is a
minimum cost of living and it
is just and right that = wages
should never go below that level,
whatever the price of sugar"
Every indication is that sugar
will go to even greater heights
than during the past few months.
There are not lacking signs that
the price in the United States will
climb to the limit Of the price con-
sumers will pay. ii "@,
SLIDING SCALE o..
FAR-REACHING ia
This being the case, the deci-
sion of the Hawaiian planters to
pay on sliding scale of wages,
based on a minimum as low as
seventy dollars, means more than
anyone has dared to anticipate.
Hawaii is on the threshold Of
prosperity unprecedented even in
these Islands, and the laborer Is
to reap his fair share Of what Is
coming. s..-
