PineappIes at SettIement-Leprosy.


Day and Wood, 7. F. Lansing and
David Keliipio; members, Doctors
Wayson aud MOusarrat, Charles Viii
cox and G. B. Reynolds, executive
officer.
The usual routine was followed in
reading the minutes of the last meet
ing aud receiving reports from the
various city officials connected with
the Board.
President Smith read extracts from
pamphlets received from English au
thorities on the subject of cholera.
From these it is shown that in coun
tries where the disease is epidemic less
attention is paid to quarantine matters
and more to stamping out the disease
once it makes its appearance. Pas
sengers on vessels from infected places
are allowed to land and are closely
watched for the ensuing five days,
during which period the germs, If
there are any, are in state OF 1ncu-
baton.
A petition, signed by 300 persons,
asking for permission to sell nSh on
Maunakea street, from King street to
the sea, was read by President smith.
Mr.. Smith asked that the matter be
considered, as the petition contained
the names of a number OF persons
from the western section of the city,
who found the location Of the new
market inconvenient.

market was occupied today simply
through the old one becoming

Detition was for a new market, out IL
was not, it was simply a request Tor
nermission to sell fish in certain
pro-cribed locality.
Mr.. Lansing asked If Maunakea
street was ever used by fish dealers?
Mr.. Smith replied that it had not.
Years ago there were certain days ID
the week when the locality of the bel
tower was used by maTketmen, out IL
had been stopped, and for the past
twenty years the dealers had oeen
going to the market by com con-
sent.
I'm response to a question by DIR.
Emerson, Mr.. Smith said the practice
of selling fish elsewhere had never
been prohibited by law.
DR. Wood thought that 1t was
within the province of the Board oil
Health to see that market places did
not become nuisances. The new
market had been built with cOncrete
floors and marble top STANDS were
used for the purpose OF Keeping the
nIace in good sanitary condition. He
objected to the petition aud would

new market on MauDakea street.
Ir Smith said it was not ques-
