Trip to Molokai.
1t is about time for the Board of
Health to make its regular visit to the
Leper Settlement on Molokai. This
visit used to be made semi-annually
but has come now to be more of an
annual affair. DR.. Wood can not spare
the time just now to go with the rest
of the Board so 1t was agreed at the
meeting yesterday that the visit should
be deferred for awhile. None of the
members of the Board Of Health want
to miss the fifteenth OF June, Terrific
rial Day; nor do they want to be away
from Honolulu on the eleventh of June.

The matter of the quarantine wharf

other column.

Two vacancies in the membership of
the Board of Health, created by the re-
cent designations of DR.. Day and +. NJ.
Hatch, had to be filed. DIR. c. b. Coop
err and Il. c. Winston were the Boards
choice of men to complete the personnel
of the health bureau. Mr.. Winston has
had previous connection with the Board
of Health. Both OF the new members
are well known and popular men, and
deeply interested in the welfare of the
Plumbing Inspector.
DR.. Wood said that the Minister OF
In I,,tA hot ~
man should speedily be appointed as
plumbing inspector SO that bad and
faulty plumbing could be prevented. No
regulations as yet exist in regard to the
In this city. and unless an In
spector was going to look after the mat
ter, great harm would be done by care
less and faulty plumbing. There are
half dozen applications from good
men for the Office OF plumbing inspect
or on the Board OF Health desk at the
present time. The matter was argued
and discussed extensively, the Board
finally authorizing the president TO ap-
point a plumbing inspector at salary

Edwards. should draw up set OF regu-
Iations for plumbing In the district OF
