and Block s."

>treet In Woeful Condition
i esspooIs Full.

The following official reports Of vol
nteer inspectors are additional evi-
lence of the condition Of the interiors
Chinatown blocks. Both are ad-
dressed to President Cooper OF the
3oard Of Health under date of Deem
Jer 10Th. as follows:
beg leave to report that during the
past week | have visited every house
the marshy district Of Waikiki in
lablted by Chinese or japanese, with
the view of ascertaining whether any
sickness prevailed among them. / am
happy to say that there is none of any
nature, beyond colds and coughs among
the children incidental to the season.
would also report that | found the
general sanitary condition of these
places much improved, so much so that
it was in only a few instances that
found it necessary to order any clean
ing UP done about the yards, etc.
With regard to the hog nuisance
have to report that | have taken the
census Of those animals, with the re-
suit that find 50 only, as follows: Hee
MIN s, Sun Hop Sing 10, Wong Hee Co.
Z, All Hip IT, Ho Wo Sam and Sun
Sang 40. The last named is building
improved pens at Kalihi Okla and will
remove all the animals within a few
days. The other pigs are al very small
and have been sold for delivery at
Christmas. In view of the above |
think | am safe in saying that there
will not be single pig, big or little,
left in the Waikiki district by Janu-
airy 1 next, as against four or five hum
dred three months ago.
l still continue to receive complaints
of the condition of the Bishop Estate
ponds on the makai road, but as the
Board has already taken action in that
matter, it is no longer in my jurisdic-
ton.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE MANSON,
Agent of the Board for Waikiki
