BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING.
At a meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday morning, the committee on
MI oh
man, DR.. Day.
The committee found that it was inn
practicable TO have absolutely no COM
municatiOn with the other islands.
No one could tell how long the cholera
would last. Certain places on the
other islands might be in desperate
straits for supplies. The committee
felt it was necessary that cOmmunica-
tiOn with the other islands be had.
The W. @. Hall and Kilauea HOu
had been practically without contact
with the shore. In this respect the two
steamers had an advantage over the
others. II was absolutely necessary
that there be a clean fleet for inter-isl-
and navigation. Too much care could
not be taken.
With respect to the w. G.. Hall and
Kilauea HOu, the committee recon-
mended that the crews be moved to the
quarantine station and there disin-
fected while the two steamers undergo
the same process. The crews could be
taken out in boats. The steamers
should be allowed to start for the other
islands as soon as taken out, with such
freight and passengers as they might
have.
Other island steamers should under
go the same regulation with the ex-
ceptiOn that a five days quarantine
should be required. No freight should
be allowed to go without special per-
NIT from the Board of Health. This
could be taken out on lighters.
In the matter Of discrimination
with respect to freight it was thought
that this should be regulated Oy the
United States quarantine laws with
notifications to suit the conditions
existing here at present. Paiai,
fruits, secondhand goods of all
kinds, japanese and Chinese goods,
should be prohibited. All coin
should be boiled or steamed for half
an hour.
In the matter of passengers, those
who wished to go to the other islands
might be allowed to do so providing
they submitted to the five days
quarantine regulations on the steamer
which they intend to take or at the
quarantine station. The passengers
10 ust be disinfected. On arrival at
other island ports officers and crews
should have no communication with
shore Returning to Honolulu,
anchorage should be made outside
and officers and crews be required to
remain on their respective steamers.
Freight should be taken out on light
eTS.
Mr. Hackfeld wanted to know
about freight already on island
steamers.
