Considerable discussion ensued on
the reading OF the above report. While
all the members OF the board agreed
that the time for action had arrived
there was some difference as to what
was the best course to pursue.
President Cooper read the present
regulations on the subject which pro-
Ihibits the keeping of hogs within one
mile from the postoffice. This was
embodied in Rule l6 of the Sanitary
Regulations of the board and was
adopted in 1890.
George w. Smith said he was in ia
vor of prompt action on the report. He
would move that Rule 16 be amended
so as to prohibit the keeping Of hogs
within four miles from the postofice,
and that such regulation go into effect
on November ! next.
DIR. Wood did not for moment wish
to be understood as opposing the mo-
ton, but thought there might be local
tiles within the four-mile limit in
which the keeping of hogs would not
Interfere with the health or comfort of
anyone.
Dr. Emerson agreed with DR.. Wood
and mentioned Punchbowl slopes as
such a locality.
1 DIR. Day suggested that the matter
could be settled by amending Mr..
Smiths motion by adding the words
.,"without the permission of the execu-
tive officer of the board
Mr.. Smith announced his readiness
! to accept the amendment.
President Cooper, In putting the mo-
ton, said he strongly agreed with all
that had been said on the subject. IL
was time that the WAIKIKI district was
put into sanitary condition. The mat
ter has received his attention hereto
J fore and would continue 10 DO so.
The motion was then put as amend
ed and carried unanimously.
