COST OF INSPECTION.
Systematized Accounts Kept-Notice to
Dealers and Others.

the quarantined district, and has open
ed a set of books for it. He asks that
all dealers who have sold anything to
inspectors for this work to send their
bills, itemized, up to and including De-
cember 10, together with the name OF
him, at once, so that it can be put on
the books, the accounts kept straight
and the bills promptly paid. inspectors
and others authorized to make pn--
chases on this behalf are instructed 10
secure from the dealer an invoice with
each purchase, and dealers are request
ed to give such invoices. This will faci-
litate the keeping of accounts and final
payment and enable daily expense
account of the work of inspection to De
kept.
HOME FOR INSPECTORS.
The hall of the Boys Brigade, on
Kaumakapili Church grounds, has been
turned over to the Board of Health
Gratis to be used by inspectors. 1t
il being fitted up under the direction
of George r.. Carter, Dir. j. S. b. Pratt,
Allen Judd and others. 1t is to be
headquarters for the inspectors. Car
penters and other artisans are at work
night and day fitting 1t up as disin-
fected house through and through.
When arrangements are completed
which will be very soon, inspectors
will be required to battle and thorough
" disinfect themselves before going
cut of the quarantined district. A sys-
tenn has already been adopted whereby
all supplies for the inspectors are
brought in by one of their number de-
tailed for that purpose who does not
go any further into the quarantined
district. This reduces the necessity for
inspectors engaged in the actual work
of cleaning up, to go out of the district,
and hence reduces the danger of con-
tagion being spread by this means.
Beds have been installed in another
part of the inspectors quarters for use
should they be needed.
SOLDIERS AND CHINATOWN.
yes. the military has taken our
store-house from u.s." Jocosely remark
ed Marshal Brown as he started UP
street late last night. chinatown is
the store house or rather ripened fields
of the police. While business gets slack
elsewhere, we can always count upon
something from that quarter. China
town is morally to us what it is from
sanitary standpoint to the Board of
Health-not the best
II do not know what the military
will do in enforcing penal laws in
Chinatown. My idea Is that gambling
and opium smoking will have full
for the guards on the outside to handle
these things. The military will handle
fights or crimes of any kind without
much trouble.
WILL BE A REMEDY.
President Cooper, of the Board of
Health, is preparing a set of regula-
tions with regard to sanitary measures
in Chinatown, which will be submitted
to the Cabinet and will come back
again to the Board for final action.
1t is understood that even present
structures in the district will not be
allowed to exist unless approved by
the Board. There will be alleyways;
perfect ventilation and cleanliness in
all localities. The regulations will make
quite rap at corporate estate own
ing considerable property in the local
ity.
THE CREMATORY.
The Honolulu Iron Works has COM
pleted the crematory on quarantine
isand for the burning of dead plague
patients. All that remains is for the
bricks to dry and shed to be erected
over the furnace. A pipe eighty feet
tall will carry off the fumes
The several bodies burned in the ex-
ira furnace of the Honolulu Iron
Works Company made up great fav-
or to the Board of Health and the pub
lie in general There was at the time
absolutely no way ofdisposing of these
remains
THE FISH MARKET NOW.
Steps We're taken this morning to
clean up and disinfect the neighbor-
hood of the fish market Lime will
be sprinkled inside of the market. AN
of the damp places in the neighborhood
will be overhauled and some may be
disposed of entirely.
1t Is stated that the fish market has
been in bad sanitary condition for some
time. There has been a fish inspector
but no one to look after the general
condition of things.
END OF QUARANTINE.
President Cooper, OF the Board of
Health, stated this morning that IL no
further cases appeared before next
tuesday the quarantine would certain
ly be modified. This would give seven
run days from the last death. More
passes will be issued and the rules will
be less strict. In fact, If the situation
continued to improve the quarantine
may be ended altogether except for a
guard over the houses in which cases
have appeared.
PLAGUE AND PRISON.
Leon Duval and her sister Lily Duval
were sent to prison for five DAYS on
account. of the plague and quarantine.
They have been denizens of Pauahi
street but not wishing to go into quar-
antlne they sought to ply their trade
on Fort street. Marshal Brown secured
positive evidence against them and they
were sent over to the reef to Join the
ISABEL freres their former companions
who were sent over some time ago.
HONOLULU HALE AGAIN.
Complaint is again strongly made to
the sanitary condition of the yard I'm
rear of Honolulu Hale Merchant street
The place has been dislnfected but not
