ing the motion to pass, when the
matter Of fishing in the harbor
might be considered separately.
The President was OF opinion
that fishing in the harbor should
never be renewed.
The discussion continued over
a map Of the harbor and adjacent
ponds, the medical gentlemen
giving their views on the pos
sbllity of ptomaine developing in
fish that batten on sewage.
The President asked what was
meant by ptomaine.
DIR. Day answered that it was
a poison that developed in articles
of animal food.
The motion carried. Fishing in
ponds is therefore again lawful.
Mr. Waterhouse complained
strongly against the running of
water off the public road into No.
2 reservoir in Nuuanu valley.
There was nothing more import
ant to the public health than the
water supply.
President Smith introduced the
question of additional cemetery
room, as the Nuuanu and Makiki
cemeteries We're now crowded, as
well as the Catholic cemetery. 1t
would be matter Of diffic lily, he
tbought,to obtain suitable grounds
for supplementing the three ceme-
teries named. He referred to the
considerable increase of the city's
population, shown by the cholera
time census in comparison with
that Of 1891.
The matter was after some con-
versatiOn referred to the sanitary |
committee for the earliest possible
rerort.
The President next suggested
that the sanitary inspectors be
instructed to tell householders to
leave garbage containers inside
their gates to await the arrival of
the wagons.
Mr.. Warehouse remarked that
the collectors should be made to
hurry up with their work in re-
moving the garbage. /
DR.. Day gave an instance of
nuisance caused by the delay and
infrequency in the arrival Of the
wagons.
Officer Reynolds was directed
to carry out the suggestions.
The failure hitherto reported in
making trees grow at the Leper
Settlement, Molokai, was next
considered. 1t was decided to
ask Commissioner Msrsden to
send one of his foresters to the
place to give proper start to the
business.
An application to buy the now
unnecessary windmill lying at the
Leper Experimental Station, Ka-
lihi, was considered and Officer
Reynolds authorized to negotiate
termS anu TtpoIt'
The President brought up the
question of another odorless ex-
cavator, Officer Reynolds giving
the information that it would cost
$500. The President suggested
that the tires on the wheels should
be five inches wide, as the pre-
sent vehicles wheels cut into
lawns badly. In New Z-aland
there was a law regulating the
width of tires on all kinds OF We
hicles.
On motion of Mr.. Waterhouse
it was decided to procure the
vehicle at the price named, with
perhaps an addition on account
of the wider tires mentioned.
1t was decided to request the
Interior Department to drain
Kukui lane.
The Pres dent recommended
that notice be given to owners OF
laud between the site of toe old
Fishmarket and King street
bridge, that the low level of their
lands being a menace to the pub
lie health they are required to
fill them in without further delay.
1t was decided to appoint DR..
Crane to North Kona, where DR..
McWayne is now serving tempo
rarily as Government physician.
DR.. Day asked #, in the event
of DR.. Lindley's resignation, DR..
Crane should be given both North
and South Kona.
President Smith thought that,
if thew could make living, two
