President Smith said the work
on the wharf had already begun,
and was nearly ready for the recep-
tion 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
1ectfully ask the Board of Health to
make such reasonable rules for the
anding and disinfecting of freight
rom steamers coming to this port
rom Japan as shall be sufficient to
prevent the introduction of disease,
)ut, at the same time, not so stringent
Is to be practically prohibitory.
(Signed by twenty-seven Of the
most prominent Japanese business
houses of the city.)
The following letter from A. G..
u. Robertson, as attorney for the
japanese merchants who sent the
PETITION, was read by President
smith:
Referring to the enclosed petition,
he merchants composing the Japan
sc Commercial Union of Hawaii beg
0 represent that the cutting off Of
apanese supplies in which they deal
7Orks a great hardship on them and
heir customers, and they beg to en-
st your assistance in their attempt to
ecure a modification of the recent
ule adopted by the Board in regard to
apanese imports. They are anxious
D cooperate with the Board in en-
eavOring to prevent the introduction
disease, and are willing to submit to
nd assist in carrying out all reasona-
le regulations as TO quarantine, fun
cation, etc.
They hope that the Board may see
s way clear to make such modifica-
on in its regulations as will be salts
IctOry to all concerned.
Very respectfully,
he japanese Com. Union of Hawaii
by their attorney,
A. G.. NJ. ROBERTSON.
President Smith said he had
llled upon Consul Shimizu to talk
4 this very point. He had learned
lat the japanese did not wish to
onvey the idea that they were
citing in hostility to the Board of
-ealth. They simply wanted TO
e if it was not possible to make
me arrangement by which freight
om Japan could be landed, sub
ct to strict fumigation and dis
ibuted to the various consignees
the city.
