to prevent the introduction of cholera
into this kingdom; and to the end,
the most stringent measures should
be adopted and enforced.
Rep. Smith did not wish to reflect
on the Board. He thought they were

have the hearty support of this
House. IL the cholera should reach
the Pacific Coast, the situation would
be grave one.

port the resolution. He favored al
lowing foreign vessels to come to
Honolulu only.

the support of the House in acting in
