You will please notice that of SO
Oahu cattle, but were free from the
fiuke disease, and that 10 out of u
calves were also affected. AS the ami
mails came from ranches in different
parts of the island, it shows how rap
idly the disease is increasing.
The hog ranches have been attend

Importance to report concerning
them.
Under the claw to mitigate" there
have been three examinations, TWEEN
ty-two persons attending.

Inspector.
An application was read from DIR.

dered fled.
The president read the following
request from G. o. Nacayama, Japan
csc inspector of immigrants
HoNOLULU, rs July, 1898.
Hon. w. o. SMITH, President of the
Board of Health:
SIR-The wife of Motoji Hasegawa,
n japanese laborer, is now detained
and treated at Kalihi receiving station
as leper suspect. The patient having
communicated to me a desire to be
sent home to Japan, / now request
you in her behalf that her wish be
granted. / intend to make an arrange
ment so that she can be sent away by
the steamer Oceanic, due here on the
Sth prOximO. I remain,
Yours most respectfully,
CT. .. NACAYAMA,
nspector-in- Chief OF japanese
Immigrants.
The request was granted.
A petition was read from a young
native named Kala Kaulia asking to
be allowed to go to the settlement as
kokua to his young wife lately trans
ferred to Molokai. The petition was
refused as unnecessary, the woman
being able to care for herself.
President Smith said there was a
matter he wished to bring before the
board. Permission had been granted
to photograph lepers for scientific
purposes. He understood the privil-
ege was being abused, and that hi
deous photographs had been placed
on sale lately. He wished to hear an
expression of opinion by members of
the board.
Mr.. Lansing thought the thing
should be strictly prohibited.
DIR. Day said the board should at
once take steps to secure more con
troll over all such photographs, and
none should be allowed to reach the
public except for strictly scientific
purposes.
Dr. Andrews said no photographs
of lepers at the settlement or receiv-
ing station should be allowed to be
taken except by permission.
It was resolved that hereafter no
photographs of lepers be permitted
either at the settlement or the re.
station at Kalihi without per
of the president of the board !
of health first obtained.
President Smith reported progress /
had been made in the matter Of the /
purchase of the kuleanas at the leper !
settlement by the government. The /
order to send in claims and informa-
ton had been extended. The bulk /
were already 10 the hands of the |
minister of the interior. 4 surveyor I
would be sent there soon to locate /
and make estimates on the kuleana /
claims. Five thousand dollars had /
been appropriated under section 2, /
and the government had made ar
engagements to borrow the money |
and would execute the plan at once. /
This would do away with most of the /
avis now caused IN the settlement /
and make complete segregation pos
sible.
The matter of DIR. Whites creden- !
.ials for license to practice was .
brought mp and went over to next /
meeting.
