bers; DR.. c. l.. Garvin, medical execu-
tive officer; DR.. J. S. b. Pratt, sanitary
building inspector; Chas. Wilcox, sec
rotary, and Mr.. Avery, stenographer,
together with several attorneys for par

The president showed the plan OF q
building at Kawaiahao intended for a
livery stable. Its dimensions are 156x
22i feet. A permit has been refused
until the proprietors agreed to certain
notifications.
Mr. Ballou appeared for the Territor-
ial Stables Co., applying for the permit
in question. He said 1t would cost
$500 or $1,000 to alter the plan so as to
have four roofs. The lodgings were
separated from the stables by 80 feet
In answer to the presidents question
as to whether he would be willing to
have stables built up against his resi-
dence lot, he said that was the milk IL
the cocoanut. Nobody wanted stables
next their homes, yet 1t was beyond the
province of the Board to make the pro-
hibition. The whole trouble here was
that the lot adjoined Kawaiahao semi
nary.
Mr.. Howard, architect, was alS1
heard.
DR.. Emerson asked how Mr.. BalloL
would take IL to have his own residen ,
approached by stables covering thcil
whole ground premises.
Mr.. Ballou said something about thu
rights of proprietors in cities to ut,rz,
all their ground.
DIR. Garvin asked the attorney II he
was aware that fight. was going IN IN
New York to forbid the building upon
more than 20 per cent of the ground
site.
Mr.. Ballou-How is 1t getting alons
DR.. Emerson moved that the obicc
tions of the sanitary building inspec; y
in this case be sustained.
Mr.. Dole supported the motion
chiefly with regard to the rule of five
feet Of air space between building and
boundary of lot.
Mr.. Ballou interrupted discussion
Of suggestions to require an air space
Of five feet-Dr. Emerson favored ter
feet-between stables and carriag,
house divisions-by saying that, If tbs
Board was going beyond the rule o
boundary air space, 1t might as We.
refuse the permit and let them go
They declined to consider the cutting
up of the buildings.
Mr.. Lowrey moved an amendment
which DR.. Emerson accepted: That
the building permit applied for by tn,
| Territorial Stables Co. be allowed, pro
vided five feet of air space Is kept be
tween the boundary lines of that por'
ton of the structure or structures In
which stalls are situated"
DR.. Garvin, being asked for his
opinion, spoke of the difficulty of dis
posing of the liquid manure of stables
with its strong charge Of ammonia.
Mr.. Howard described the concret,
floors and thorough drainage planned
Tor the building.
The motion carried.
The president reported the resolu
ton already published, framed by |
special committee, which permitted re
building In the burnt district. Thi
had been submitted to a majority of tn
Board, who had approved 1t subject t,
formal ratification at this meeting. Tn
resolution was now put and adopted.
A resolution was proposed by tn
president to prevent further pollution
of the soil, by compelling the construc
ton of impervious Cesspools, in the dis
trict bounded by line 300 feet Eva o
Liliha street, from the sea to School
thence to the summit of PunChbow
and by Alapai street to the sea.
Mr.. Winston regarded the PROPOSE
ton as utterly impossible. There wa
no way of impounding the refuse wa
ter Of households before the sewer sys
TEN was established.
The resolution was laid on the table
J. NJ. Monsarrat appeared to ask 10
a permit to farmer in Kalihi to kee
hogs, which had been refused by ID
Garvin on account of pollution of
stream. The applicant was prepared t
comply with sanitary conditions. Their
was no complaint OF neighbors.
DIR. Garvin thought 1t improbabl
that the nuisance could be oyercom,
In wet weather the wash from the pc
would be as bad'as that from tn
manure put about banana trees.
