ent with him were Drs. Wood, My
ers, Day, Howard, Emerson, Members
Lansing and Warehouse and Execu-
tive Officer Reynolds.
Reports of DR.. Monsarrat were read
and filed.
Routine matters at the leper settle
tions from Agent Meyers. In one of
these certain members of the colony
desired to use DR.. GotO's medicines
and take baths as formerly prescribed
by him. DR.. Wood spoke plainly
about this matter. He claimed Ordi-
nary hot baths as recommended by
the Ieprosy board equally as efficient
as those given by DIR. Goto. 1t is not
a question what the lepers want, but
that which the Board and medical
men recommended. Quarters should
be provided at the settlement for ex-
periments and of such proportions
sufficient TO accommodate a number
of patients. Until this was done and
the results made plain there would be
continued suggestions from leper5 as
to what they desired.
A recommendation for renewal of
coffee saloon license at the settlement
was favorably considered.
Sheriff Williams wrote from HilO
that a Japanese physician, DR.. Yama-
motto, was violating regulations of the
Board by allowing an assistant twelve
miles away to furnish medicines as
telephOned by. him. Referred to At
torney General for action.

Armitage, stating that DIR. Marawa
