His Elk. w. o. SMITH, President Board
of Health.
SIR: 1 enclose herewith my medi-
cal report for the quarter ending Sep
tember 30th., also reports for the
months of August and September.
L have 10 inform your honorable
board that the Koloa hospital needs
fresh coat of paint outside and in
side. 1t is 81 years since the build
ings were last painted, and repainting
is very much needed for preservation
and for sanitary reasons.
L would therefore suggest that an
allowance of $1,000 be made for this
purpose from the appropriation for
repairing and maintenance of hospi.
tails.
Respectfully yours,
j. X. SMITH, Gov. Phys.
A letter was read from DIR. We'd
dick asking for certsin supplies out
OF the usual order. After some dis
cussion, and with exceptions, the
supplies were granted, and the secre-
tary was ordered to inform DR.. We'd
dick Of the reasons for the boards
action.
DR.. Goto made verbal request
through the secretary of the board
for new supply of japanese medi-
cines.
Referred to Mr.. Meyers to report
how long the present supply would
last.
The question of freight, packing
and carriage charges made by mer-
chants for supplies furnished the
board was brought up and thorough
ly discussed. After deliberation, it
was decided that hereafter only
freight charges would be allowed
upon the presentation of shipping
receipts with the bills.
President Smith said the custom
house authorities were now engaged
In getting up new set of port regu-
lations, and wished to embody there
in such of the board of health
regulations as applied to the subject.
He had gone over the matter very
crrefully with Mr.. G. b. Reynolds
and the determination had been
reached to submit an amendment to
section 20 of the quarantine regula
lions. He read the original section
as follows:
SECTION 20. Vessels arriving from
an Asiatic port, or from any port re-
ported to be infected with cholera,
yellow fever, or smallpox shall not
enter any port of this Kingdom,
though such vessels may show clean
bill of health, until special permission
is granted by the board of health for
entry into the port of Honolulu, or by
q duly accredited agent of the board
for entry at any other port in the
Hawaiian Islands. Such vessels shall
be anchored on quarantine grounds,
at such places as may be chosen by
the pilot under direction of the port
and remain at such an
chorage until changed or admitted
into port by the board of health.
He then proposed the following
RESOLUTION.
Resolved that section 20 of quaran-
tine regulations of 1891, be amended,
so as to read:
20. Vessels arriving from an Asiatic |
port, or from any port reported to be
infected with cholera, yellow fever,
small poX, scarlet fever, plague, or
any other disease deemed by the board |
of health to be dangerous to the public |
health, or vessels carrying passengers, |
steamers or sailing vessels, If |
under fourteen days from the last |
foreign port of call, shall not enter |
any port OF the Hawaiian islands un-
til permission is granted by the port |
or a duly accredited officer |
of the board of health. Such vessels, |
if refused entry, shall be anchored in |
quarantine at such places as may be |
chosen by the pilot, under direction of |
the port physician, and remain at |
such anchorage until changed or adj |
mitted into port by the board of |
health.
After considerable discussion, on |
motion of MIR. Ena it was determined |
to defer action on the matter until |
the next meeting of the board.
At 400 N. the board adjourned.
