| that any expenditure the Council OF
Safe sees fit to make Is legal; the
| Council of State is the sole authority
under the circumstances.
Minister Cooper was in favor of the
proposition. He did not believe this
was a time to hesitate. If the Legis-
lature was in session the matter would
be much easier, but the Council of
state had full authority in its absence.
The Attorney General said in speaking
of the provision of 66 2-3 per cent rec
ompense that he thought most of
those concerned would accept 1t. But
in any case the people must be removed
from Chinatown and the authorities
must then put an iron clad fence
around IL; then 1t can be dealt with.
The outside cases he believed were TO
be traced to the merchandise which
had passed fumigation and been after
ward distributed. He believed that
stringent measures should now be TAX
en-.
Councillor p. c. Jones asked whom
the proposed settlements would be un-
der.
President Dole said they would in all
likelihood be made by a committee I'M
der the authorization of the Executive
Council and the Board of Health.
Councillor Jones said the RESPONSE
biIity to be assumed was great as this
move would involve another quarter of
a million of dollars. After the plague
was all over there might be some who
would say the Council Of Safe had act
ed panicky, but as a member he recog-
niZed the great and immediate Import
ance of stamping out the disease. He
cited the recent case OF a woman di-
rectiy traced TO the use Of fumigated
Chinese merchandise. He believed the
interests of the country demanded the
burning of this merchandise. 1t would
not affect him but IL would others and
he endorsed the position taken by the
Attorney General. He believed It was
necessary to vote the money and was
sure it would be judiciously spent un-
der competent authority. He moved
that the Act introduced be passed by
the Council of State.
Councillor Achi said he maintained
his former position and asked if the
Board of Health had the power to
destroy these goods? Had they the
power to destroy the buildings? Had
they the power to pay for what they
destroyed He held IL was the duty
of the Board TO provide for the pay
ment of all they destroyed. The COun-
Gil of State should pass enough money
for all this. The Government could
not take property without due process
of law. He appealed to the Attorney
General.
Minister Cooper for the third time
pointed out to Mr.. Achi, with great
patience, that under the law the Board
of Health had the power to destroy
property when 1t became a nuisance
and a menace. The same law applied
to goods. but the burden of proof that
they are infected unfortunately lay up
on the Board under the law. If the
Board was wrong. and the court 50
decided, the Government would have
to pay for every thing destroyed at the
full value.
Councillor Robertson asked several
questions as to the destruction of the
different portions of Chinatown and
as to the value of the merchandise re-
moved and still remaining there.
Minister Cooper stated thai an esti-
mate had been made in a rough way
that 100000 worth had been removed

AN ACT OF THE COUNCIL OF

An Act Making Special Appropriation

Be it Enacted by the Council of State
of the Republic of Hawaii:
Section 1. The following sum,
amounting to $500, 900, is hereby appro-
priated to be paid out of all the moneys
in the Treasury received from all the
current receipts of the general reve-
nues of the Republic of Hawaii, at the

of the appraised value there
of Observation-Disclosures. 5000 900
President Dole said the Board of
Health had met with the Executive
Council in the morning. as had COM
mi,tee of merchants Of Honolulu. There
had been quite an extended discussion
on the question of sanitary measures
to be taken during which the question
of destroying insanitaTy premises and
merchandise had been included. 1t
was found there would be no difficulty
in finding definite legal authority for
the destruction of the houses of China
town. some of which had been infected
twice and all of which had become
nuisances under the law and could
therefore be legally destroyed.
In regard to goods and merchandise
il was different. II was a question
whether all of these had become in
fected and it was also a question
whether infected goods could be prop
erly disinfected by fumigation, so long
as they remained in original packages.
Therefore the danger was great from
the distribution of fumigated goods
and it was necessary that the practical
should be stopped. It toOka large body
gOOGs and the force now employed by
the Board of Health and the Govern
ment was a large and increasing ex-I
pense which must be considered in the
proposal to burn dangerous merchan-
disc outright. The difference in burn
ing the goods and carrying out the
present system would not be very great
in the end and there was also a desire
to remove the people as rapidly as pos
sible from the infected district.
President Dole stated these and other
reasons were urged by the Board of
Health for the proposed action which
the Board believed to be necessary.
Some were of the opinion that the pro-
posed methods were not specifically
authorized by law as directed con-
nected with the work of suppressing
TIE plague and therefore might not be
strictly legal. But, as. he viewed 1t,
the law did not limit the authorities
specifically in regard to expenditures
in cases of necessity. President Dole
read the law at this point and added
that he was of the opinion the present
case fell under the statute and thought
