the Government was building wash

washing in Nuuanu stream. These
did DOT seem to be large enough to
accommodate more thar half the laun
dries in town. What would become
of the remainder who could not get
accommodations -? They would all be
liable TO a fine of $50. 1t would not
be justice to the laundrymen to be
fined for washing in their own houses
when they could not get accommOda-
ton in those of the Government
There should be a saving CLAUSE in the
bill. Moved The bill be referred to the
committee on public health.

one half of the Iaundries.
At the present time accommodations
were being erected for half the remain

haust the appropriation. The re-
mainder would be built upon the

laundry msrf WHO were shut out on
account of lack of accom- mmodatiou
would not be prosecuted by the Gov

on its side.
The lew building when all COM
pleted will have forty rooms aud will |
be larger than the OLD one.
