The postponed weekly meeting
of the Board of Health took place
at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon.
President w. o. Smith occupied
the chair and the following men,
bers were in attendance: Drs.
Day, Wood and Emerson, Messrs.
Ena and Lansing and Agent Rey-
nolds.
The first business brought up
was report of Committee on APP
plication for Certificates to practice
medicine. DIR. Emerson reported
unfavorably on the application of
DIR. Wakayama, giving as reason
that the applicant had failed to
pass a satisfactory examination.
The next report was on the appli-
Gated of one w. S. Yone, China
man. A license was refused until
the applicant may be able to pro-
duce a satisfactory certificate of
ability and character.
An application from DIR. James
1. Wayson of San Jose, a late sur
geon on the U. S. S. Cutter Cor
win, for a physicians license was
read. His papers being satisfac-
tory to the Board, the license will
be issued. DIR. Wayson was then
called in and remained to the end
Of the meeting.
A public notice to be posted on
Molokai warning persons holding
kuleanas north of the pail, i'll the
community designated as the leper
settlement to vacate the same
within sixty days from
November goth. was read.
This course of the Board is in
obedience to an enactment that
went into effect on the 18th Of
May last. The purpose of the law
is to more effectively segregate
lepers. All of the land north of the
Molokai pail, including the hold
ings around Kalawao and Kalau-
papa, out to the sea, has been
taken by the Government. In
exchange for the lease holdings the
Government proposes to indemnify
each settler for the property taken,
to give them a double tract each
south of the mountains and to pay
all expenses Of removal. The
proclamation orders all persons
effected by it to call upon Mr..
Meyers who will pay them for
their Kuleanas and will give them
titles in fee simple for their tracts
at the new settlement.
A second application from DR..
P. M. White for a physician
license was read. This gentleman
appeared before the Board in Aug.
ust, 1893. At that time his papers
were very good with the except.
ance of those relating to moral
character and the license was re-
fused. He now informs the Board
that he can furnish the necessary
certificate as required. After care
full consideration the Secretary was
instructed to write DR.. White that
upon his appearance in Honolulu
with a satisfactory certificate OF
moral character a license will be
granted him.
President Smith referred al
length to the imperfect sanitary
condition of Chinatown. He com.
plimented the committee on sani-
tation very highly, but thought,
with the careless habits of persons
living in the quarter referred to-
the inspectors were unable to cope
with the evil. The matter was de.
ferred for future consideration.
Some discussion as to fencing
the crater at the leper settlement
for the purpose of planting
followed. Mr.. Reynolds was asked
to look into the matter and repor
the probable cost of fencing thu
property.
