Health held yesterday afternoon
there were present President Water
house, and members Keliipio, Rey-
nolds, DIR. Emerson, DR.. Wood, DR..

Father Conraddi, at the Molokai
leper settlement, asked the Board
for permission to leave. This was
granted, provided his baggage be
fumigated and nothing unnecessary
be brought away.
1t was reported that one scow
was ready for the odorless excava-
tors. To have things in good work
ing order Mr.. Reynolds thought
there should be three scows. 1t
was then voted to see that two
others be arranged for. Cost will

wis., you would inf, rm the Board
of Health that many of the natives of
North KOna continue TO call on me
for medical attention and medicine,

fused by me.
The petition sent to the Board of
Health from North KOna some time
since was not a representative petition
by any means.
A business man in Kailua informed
me that the petition W ) signed by
school boys and the hOOdlum element
of Kailua, with the exception of few
leaders.
also wish the Board of Health to
know tha I have had telephone put
in nv nffice for the benefit of the na
tives who live at distance. There l.
no outside practice in South kona,
and, Al a matter of fact, this expense
must come out of my pocket. L feel
assured that if the Board of Health
had made an investigation a. L re-

change or division made in this dis

Hoping that you will lay this mat

The matter of water supply to
