Before further action was taken
on the subject, President Smith
wished to know what effect, if any
the infection of certain portions o.
Nuuanu stream would have or
passenger traffic between Honolulu
and the other islands.
| DR.. Wood replied by saying that
all countries recognized the dis
tinction between first and second
class passengers. The danger was
from steerage passengers.
A motion to raise the quarantine
on the valleys, to take effect al
once, was carried unanimously.
Nuuanu stream, the pail and
Maunalua will be strictly guarded
until further notice.
DR.. Wood thought it would be
safe to raise the restriction on
children from infected districts at.
tending schools by next Monday, il
no new cases of cholera broke out
in the meantime.
President Smiths action in con-
demning an additional taro patch
of three-quarters of an acre in the
Waipilopilo district was sanctioned.
This was found necessary in order
to dry up patches below. Sui
phuric acid was being used to good
effect on the patches which had
been condemned.
The Board was informed that
the committee appointed to ascer-
tain the quantity and value of taro
destroyed in the condemned
patches would report the following
day.
President Smith informed the
Board that all employees at the
cholera hospital had been dis.
missed, excepting c. J. Whitney
and a guard. The place was in
good order and ready for patients
if there should be more cases of
cholera.
The insane asylum had been in
strict quarantine for a week, and
as no new cases had broken out,
DR.. Smith reported that the quar-
antine could with safety be raised.
This was accordingly voted. The
fields about the asylum that were
declared infected are now thor
oughly dry; there could be no fur
ther danger of patients develo ping
cholera by drinking water from the
fields.
There was considerable discus
sion about fish and how the sale
should be regulated. President
Smith said there could be no objec-
ton to dried fish from Hawaii,
Molokai and Lanai being sold.
Mr.. Lansing favored the sale of
fish caught elsewhere than in the
district of Honolulu, but only at
one place and under close inspec-
ton. A person conversant with
fish should be named as an in
spector.
There seemed to be some doubt
as to proving where the fish were
caught. Member Keliipio solved
the problem by the proposal that !
all fish brought into the city be
accompanied by certificate show
ing where and when caught, and |
by whom. The certificates could |
be furnished by guards at the diff |
ferent places leading into town.
A motion by DR.. Wood that deep
water fish caught outside of Homo
lulu district be allowed sale under
certain restrictions and inspection
as may be decided on, met with
unanimous approval. DR.. Emerson
and Member Keliipio were named
as committee to investigate the
matter and report as soon as prac-
ticable.
The sanitary arrangements in
the Armstrong block, lower King
street, near the bridge, caused some
discussion. The occupants failed
to use the dry earth containers fur
If there should be further
of health laws there, those
for such would be ar
rested and summarily dealt with.
1t was concluded to continue
fumigation of mails.
An application was read from
a Chinese called Pu Ying Ping
asking for a license to practice
among his countrymen.
The application was accompanied
,y certificates galore, with large
ed paper covered with hieroglyph-
cs called a diploma. After con-
iderable discussion it was conclud-
ID TO lay the matter over for fur
her consideration.
In connection with this applica-
ion President Smith called the
of the Board to the Chi
lese physician who had reported
nd treated the case of cholera
'rought to the hospital. The CLi-
laman had been told that the mat
er of having his license rescinded
would be brought to the attention
f the authorities. In the discus
