ent except J. 7. Warehouse. Drs.
Monsarrat and Wayson and Father
Conrady were in attendance as
guests Of the meeting.
President Smith presented reports
on the treatment of cholera and
other epidemics received through
the Foreign Office from England.
The most notable fact in these re-
ports was that quarantine of five
days was considered sufficient in the
case of cholera, and two days in the
case of passengers from suspected
ships. The receipt of the papers
will be acknowledged. and reports
of the treatment of the recent cpl
denic of cholera here will be sent
in exchange.
DR.. Monsarrat's report showed no
notable change in the condition of
meat animals. DR.. Monsarrat re.
ported that, in the case of tuber-
cular disease appearing in slaught
cred animals, the whole carcass was
destroyed, A careful examination
of swine around the city had been
made. Hogs were found to be in
good condition.
Mr.. Keliipio's report of fish
brought to the market was read.
For the week ending Wednesday
80, $500 had been received; for
the week to Feb. S, 1874.
President Smith read a petition
from John +. Colburn, endorsed by
800 people, for permission to sell
fresh fish and other products of the
sea, between Hotel and King on
either side of Maunakea street.
Discussion followed the reading of
this petition. DR.. Wood said the
duty OF the Board of Health was to
look after the sanitary condition of
the city. If it was purposed to
put in a market with concrete floor
and good drainage there could be
no objection. But dirty shops
could not be allowed. The petit
ton for permission to sell generally
was denied by unanimous vote.
Mr.. Keliipio asked, if the inspec-
ton of fish was to be rigidly kept
up, that he be given a house near
the market. 1t was decided to
continue the matter until the Super
intendent of Public Works could
be consulted. Mr.. Keliipio report
ed that more fish were sold and
sailed at the present market than
at the old. Exact figures could
not be had.
An offer from Father Conrardy to
go to Molokai and minister to the
sick, in the capacity of nurse, free
of charge, WIS read. The priest
submitted that patients in the homes
were frequently in need Of help
that could not, owing to the small
forces OF nurses, be afforded them.
He desired to labor in the sphere in
a private capacity. Eight years Of
service at the settlement had ac-
quainted him with the needs of the
people. After Father Conrardy
had retired the subject was taken
up.
On account of the not wholly
satisfactory history of the connec-
ton of Father Conrardy with the
settlement, members of the Board
spoke adversely to the petition. The
request was denied.
Letters from Mr.. Meyers were
read. He wrote in reference to the
Christmas fund of 1878. The super
intendent asked for instruction as
to how the money should be distri-
buted. He desired a list of the
names Of those the Board desired
should receive the money. Mr..
Meyers was instructed to divide the
money into small amounts and dis
tribute it at once.
Mr.. Meyers also reported that
Hon. G. N. Vile x had made an
other donation of$Ioo for the COM
fort of foreigners at the settlement.
The arrival of material for the nur-
sery house was noted. 1t was men
toned that the Lehua had a very
rough trip, having one boat broken
up and seaman badly injured.
Mr.. Meyers reported the sale from
a Chinaman of a half dozen pine
apples Very shortly the tops rot
ted and fell off showing that poison
had been put in to prevent
the propagation Of the
plant by Others. He thought
the fruit must be injured
by this poison, Referred to DR..
Wayson.
Steamers will be forbidden to
land patients at the settlement al
night.
The principal Of Fort Street
school wrote saying that parents
of certain of her pupils refused tc
allow their children vaccinated.
Mr.. Reynolds was asked to investi-
gate the matter.
A letter from DIR. Williams O
Hilo saying that he would send a
report OF his work was read. He
has not made the required
report in nearly year
Considerable dissatisfaction wa.
expressed with the conduc
of DR.. Williams. 1t was conceded
that he had treated the Board very
discourteously. The matter has
been delayed so long that it woulc
now be impossible to embody it il
the Boards report to the Legis
lature. No complaints have eve,
been made as to DR.. William
work. A motion was made to ash
the resignation of DIR. Williams
DR.. Wood amended with a motion
to ask the doctor to appear befor,
the Board and explain his conduct
This amended motion was adopted
The resignation of G.. w. r
King as Sanitary Inspector wa
read and accepted. Seven applica
tons for the place were also read
President Smith thought two in
spectors at present were all requir
ed. That idea was concurred il
by the Board.
