President Smith said the work
on the wharf had already begun,
and was nearly ready for the recep-
ton of the men who would be en-
ployed to work on the place. He
thought the proposition of the
Planters Labor Il Supply Company
a most excellent one.
DR.. Day thought the men who
intended to do the work on the
wharf should be quarantined before
allowing them to handle freight
from foreign vessels which would
be landed there. 1t would be a
very serious matter if cholera
should break out among them
while freight was on the wharf.
President Smith read the follow
ing petition from japanese mer-
chants of the city:
TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS
OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
GENTLEMEN:- We, the undersigned
japanese merchants of Honolulu, res
pectfuIly ask the Board of Health to
make such reasonable rules for the
landing and disinfectiDg of freight
from steamers coming to this port
from Japan as shall be sufficient to
prevent the introduction of disease,
but, st the same time, not so stringent
as to be practically prohibitory.
Signed by twenty-seven of the
most prominent Japanese business
houses of the city,
The following letter from A. G.
NJ. Robertson, as attorney for the
japanese merchants who sent the
petition, was read By President
Smith:
Referring TO the enclosed petition,
the merchants composing the Japan
csc Commercial Union of Hawaii beg
to represent that the cutting off OF
Japanese supplies in which they deal
works a great hardship on them and
their customers, and they beg to en-
list your assistance in their attempt to |
secure q modification of the recent |
rule adopted by the Board 10 regard to |
japanese imports They are anxious |
to CO operate with the Board in en-
deavoring to prevent the introduction |
Of disease, and are willing to submit to |
and assist in carrying out all reasona-
bic regulations as to quarantine, fun
igation, etc.
They hope that the Board may see |
its way clear to make such modifica-
ton in its regulations as will be salts
factory to all concerned.
Very respectfully,
The japanese Com. Union of Hawaii,
by their attorney,
A. G. NJ. ROBERTSON.
President Smith said be had
called upon Consul Sbimizu to talk
on this very point. He had learned
that the japanese did not wish to
convey the idea that they were
acting in hostility to the Board of
Health. They simply wanted to
see if it was not possible to make
some arrangement by which freight
from Japan could De landed, SUBJ
ject to strict fumigation and dis
tributed to the various consignees
in the city.
President Smith informed the
Board that the plans for the disin-
fectipg plant were nearly COM
pleted. A plant for disinfection of
cargoes from foreign ports was one
Of the most urgent needs of the
city. If freight from Japan could
be brought into the city in an alb
harmless condition, every
hing should be pushed to attain
hat result. He thought it q mat
.er of great Difficulty to handle
