akua court house on the 10th, on the

Stowe, A. Moore and Z. w. Estep

isYour committee beg to present the
following report to the meeting of the
citizens OF Hamakua, held at Homo
kaa, Hawaii, on the 10th of Septem-
Der, to consider the landing in this
district of passe myers, freight and mail
from steamers or sailing vessels from
Honolulu, during the period of quar-
antine in that city. 1t was resolved:
"First-That having confidence IN
the Board of Health in Honolulu and
the precautions they have taken to
disinfect all vessels, passengers,
freights and mails, we agree to have
landed all that may be forwarded
here under their instructions.
Second That we hereby express
our fullest confidence in DIR. Green

President Smith informed the Board
that the Kilauea Hou had landed
freight at points along the Hamakua
coast, but experienced considerable
trouble at some of the places. The
people at Laupahoehoe were suffering
for the want of food; rice was quoted
at SIS bag. Coal oil was becoming
scarce on the other side of this island,
and he wished to bring up the ques-
ton of adding that to the articles to
be shipped.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to allow oil to be shipped to
points on Oahu, if placed in cans and
taken directly from the kerosene ware
house to the wharf.
Member Warehouse called the at
tention of the Board to the fact that
there was lot of machinery on board
the ship J. G. Glade for Hanamaula.
The crew had had no connection with
the shore, and the captain had been
very particular about the use Of water
on the decks and about the steamer.
He could see no reason why the ma
chinery should not be shipped to des-
tiuation il taken direct from the vessel
and sent out on q clean steamer. 1t
would be known today whether the
goods could be landed on Kauai, and
as the articles were all OF iron there
was no danger of contagion. A mo-
ton to grant permit for the purpose
carried.
President Smith thought it best not
to raise any further objections on the
part OF the people OF the other islands,
and it had been decided to ship moth
ing but actual necessaries. The ques-
ton of sending coin to pay the labor
ers on the different plantations was
absolutely necessary.
Member Waterhouse explained that
the coiu was taken to the iron works
and steamed before being shipped.
He could see no danger in allowing it
to go.
Rufus Spalding expressed the opin-
ion that unless coin was sent to the
plantations there would be no use
sending anything else. The laborers
must be paid off. All plantations
were now one month behind in wages.
Mr.. Giffard spoke of the resolutions
passed at Hamakua, copies having
been sent the Board. AS they had
not been received, he offered to fur
nish a copy sent his firm. The REQ
buttons were TO the effect that freight,
passengers and mails would be allo ~
ed landing there without reference to
what other localities might do.
The following letter was read from
Chinese planters and dealers:
"We, the undersigned rice factors
and rice planters on the island of
Oahu, respectfully represent to the
Honorable Board that they are very
much in need of alum tanned skins
