on her special voyage a week from to-

President w. o. Smith announced at
the meeting yesterday afternoon in
the judiciary building that he had
perfected arrangements with the 1. !.
S. n. Co., for the trip.
President Smith, Drs. Day, Emer-
son, Howard, Wood and Monsarrat and
Messrs. Reynolds and Keliipio an
swered to their names at yesterdays
meeting.
The matter of a cemetery site was
brought up for discussion. The Pres
ident unrolled a paper containing the
new survey of proposed cemetery
site, located just this side of Moana-
lua. This tract comprises forty-eight
acres and it was the unanimous opin-
ion of the Board that it was the best
and most desirable site inside of the
city limits.
Considerable objection was mani
tested by some of the Board members
that the new cemetery should be To-
Gated within the limits of Honolulu,
they deeming it best that it should
be situated outside of the city.
Dr. Day stated that the Board
should look to the future. ''It will
not be great WHILE" he said, "before
this proposed site will be valuable for
building property. Honolulu is on the
increase and we should bear this in
mind" A site to the mauka side of
the city and beyond DIR. McGrew's
place was talked of and some thought
it was too far away for a cemetery.
Finally after some discussion, it was
decided by the Board to refer the mat
ter back to the Minister of the Inter
ior, with the accompanying statement
that the proposed site, this side of Mo-
analua, was the most available within
the limits of Honolulu and would be
suitable providing another site out
side of the city limits could not be
| found which would be convenient and
economical.
At the suggestion of DR.. Wood a
new supply of anti-toXine was ordered
to be delivered as soon as possible.
DR.. Goodhue had letter before the
Board thanking the members for his
appointment to the district of Wal
lulku and the hospital at that place.
The Insane Asylum was visited
earlier in the week and thoroughly
inspected by President Smith, Drs
Wood, Day and others. The president
stated yesterday that the cry for more
room in the asylum had not been un.
warranted. At least eight or ten more
rooms for inmates are required and
the place is badly in need of repairs
The Board instructed Mr.. Reynolds tc
make an estimate for an addition tc
be built at once, which would accom-.
modate the present needs at least.
The names of 1913 natives residing
in Lahaina, Maui, were attached to {
petition to the Board, asking that DR.
c. Davidson be reinstated as Govern
ment physician there. The native!
declared that they all had perfect con
fidence in DR.. Davidson's ability anC
it was their desire that the BoarC
should consider the matter seriously
The Board will look into the case mex
week.
Fish Inspector Keliipio was mad,
an agent of the Board of Health. Thi
was done at the suggestion of Presi
dent Smith, who thought that the fist
inspector should be fully empowered
to reject any fish at the market ant
to attend to any other health matter
which may come up.
DR.. Monsarrat's report, under thu
act to mitigate, stated that 20 eXamin
atoms had been made during tn,
week.
The fish inspectors statemen
showed that $4,000 fish had been re
ceived at the market during the week
The Board held a brief executive
session after the regular open meet
