Between 300 and 400 volunteers |
were at work yesterday.
AS rule the people have shown
Willingness to cooperate in the
work of disinfection.
The sub-inspectors and others
who went the rounds have many
amusing anecdotes to tell.
A member Of the Ways and
Means Committee, who is a close
observer, noticed that the China
men while whitewashing succeeded
n getting lime over their clothes,
he japanese over their faces, and
he natives only on their hands.
Honolulu should be proud of
uch men as those who constitute
he Ways and Means Committee. {
trough whose energy and ability II
he work of disinfecting the entire !
ity will be brought to a successful
ermination today. Night and day !
he members have labored to devise I
system by which the work could c
g carried out successfully. That

esult is proven by the work of yes i
