Chinatown Mr. McCandless by re.
StiiI quest stated the purpose
Tabued OF his appearance. There
was tract Of the burnt district IN Chi
natown bounded by Beretania. Nun
anu, Kukui and River streets, which
formed the worst nest OF the plague.
Many applications for building permits
were coming in, and he thought It
would be well for the Board to pass q
resolution that the area is unfit for
building purposes until filled up to
street grades. The Bishop Estate real
izing the unfitness OF the locality for
building upon was filling up Its prop

DIR. Emerson, who moved that th'
matters be referred to the Attorne,
General, remarked that ava was not a
peace disturber. Mr.. Reynolds inter-
jected that the people had an idea that
ava eased their sufferings. The motion
carried.
Another matter Mr.. Reynolds desired
action on was that of traders at the
settlement. Mr.. Winston stated he hai
heard complaints, at latest visit, o

store. On motion Mr.. Reynolds wal
authorized to keep prices down to I

expenses of conducting the store. Tn
sales amount to about $4,000 a year
