aCili. This case was or the pneumOn-

ack. and certainly. from the time the

Cooper: will you please excuse me,
dr. President? ! must be going 70 at
end the meeting OF the Council Of
State at 3 o'clock
DR.. Wood. well. what is your Cpin-
.on in regard 10 the G.. A. Long prem
.ses?"
Cooper: MY opinion Is the same
now as IL was yesterday; that II the
can be thoroughly disinfected
without resOrting to fire. It should
most certainly not be burned
DR.. Wood here summoned Chief In
spector TOwse and inquired Of him as
to what he knew in relation 10 KahOO-
hano's movements before his death.
Towse said that the inspector for that
district had reported that the sick man
was walking around barefoot on sun
day morning last, complaining Of
very bad cold. DR.. Wood asked Towse
to get all the information on the sub
jet procurable.
Hatch. II would like to say right
here that unless something very i'm
portant turns up, II Is my suggestion
that we do not meet again until Thurs
day"
DIR. Wood: There is no special
reason to act right away in this mat
ter OF the Long residence; we can just
as we'll let 1t go for day or two. In
the meanwhile the premises will be
guarded, a fence can be erected around
the place, and / will go there this aft
ernoon and collect some of the dust
| from each room and place IL in culture
tubes to see If any cultures of plague
/ bacilli can be made. AS soon as ] get
| the dust the house can be fumigated.'
Sanitary Regulations Extended.
DIR. Wood. CDR. Pratt has asked me
TO bring before the Board the advisa-
bility of extending the sanitary build
ing regulations of the Board outside
and beyond the present limits. He
says that a great number of Chinese
and others are rushing outside of the
limits with permits to build, and are
starting their buildings without pay
ing any attention to the sanitary rules
and regulations. DIR. Pratt desires that
the sanitary laws be extended as far
as the sewerage system, at any rate.
Maps of the city were here consulted
and the desirability of reaching, as
far as possible, all violations of the
sanitary building regulations was ac.
knowledged by all. The Board decided
finally that the sanitary regulations Of
the Board of Health should be extend
ed so as to take effect in an area IN

Towse Wants Money for Rats.
DR.. Wood. MIR. Towse has asket
that $50 be allowed him TO keep OF
: hand for payment for live and deat
rats brought to him. Where simpl,
/. o. US are given for the rodent
, there Is less success in securing tn
: animals in quantities; where cash !
! paid the inducement is greater an
more rats are brought in. Anything
/, that tends to encourage the extinction
: of these pests should be considered ia
vorably. There should be a running cas-
: fund on hand TO meet the demands o
: those bringing in the rats"
: Smith: Are there any funds avail
= able for that purpOse?'
DIR. Wood: There Is a little none
(. that has come in from the kerosen
: warehouse, and have some relic
/, funds"
!; Smith: Are there any funds avail
able in your office, Mr.. Wilcox"
Secretary Wilcox: Yes, l hav
:. come money in the safe"
: Hatch: "Towse should be require
= to keep a record of the signatures {

1t was decided by the Board thu
= Secretary Wilcox be authorized to az
: vance Towse enough money fro
y time to time to pay for those ra
