ing Tabu Raised-The New Market
Letter from Supt. Meyers.

cnalr. Members present were DAY,
Lansing, Keliipio and Minister Cooper,
Visitors: DIR. Alvarez and DR.. Mon
sarrat.
DR.. Monsarrat's reports for two
weeks were read. The inspector re-
ported fluke in bullock shipped from
Molokai and Maui, a thing never
noticed before. Most of the cattle
brought from the former island in the
past two weeks were affected.
Mr.. Cooper brought up the matter
of permitting fishing in the harbor.
He said a number of petitions had
been received by the Government from
owners of fishing rights asking per-
mission to utilize their properties, or,
if deemed eXpedient by the health
authorities, some relief from the eX-
pense of maintaining their preserves.
The Minister asked if the tabu could
not be so drawn as not to obstruct
vested fishing rights.
DR.. Day called attention to the orig
inal laws of the Board respecting har-
Dor fishing. When the cholera was
here it was decided to tabu harbor
fishing for all time. There was al
ways danger so long as vessels arrived
from infected or partially infected
ports. He would willing accede the
fishermen what they asked, if their
rights were not in the harbor proper;
but fishing in the main harbor should
never again be permitted. There was
now comparatively no danger from
the Quaratine Island side and he saw
no risk in persons with rights on that
side fishing over there.
Minister Cooper said that there were
no fishing rights in water deeper than
a mans waist, which would of course
he e"toido nf the hnrhe- p-nrn- L.
view of this he moved to raise the
tabu on all vested fishing rights under
lease, rights to be carefully defined
and marked off. Motion carried unan-
imously.
President Emerson reported a form
for the registration of births, as pre-
scribed by the new law. Same eX-
amined and approved. The deputy
sheriffs of each district have been ap-
pointed agents to keep these static
tics.
Inspector Keliipio reported 49,199
fish inspected during the week ending
June 2s, and 57,275 for the week end
ing July 5. Mr.. Kelipio reported on a
