CHINESE COMPLAIN.
A grievance of prominent mem
bers of the Chinese colony has been
brought to the attention of THE
STAR and cannot be overlooked by
the authorities.
The complaint is in relation to
the work of a party of men engaged
in disinfecting. The charge is
made that these men in most
boisterous and inconsiderate man
ner invade Chinese homes. At
shops they have pressed into ser
vice buyers, visitors and sick men,
and have threatened if not commit
ted assaults. The Chinese are
more than willing to cooperate with
the Health Board but wish to re-
ceive decent treatment.
THE DREDGER.
This afternoon new theory has
seriously been brought to the at
tention of the Health Board. This
is that the foul stuff brought
from the bottom of the bay by the
dredger contained germs Of cholera.
She has been operating in the line
Of drift and current from Nuuanu
stream.
