time. be burned the cesspool DESTROYED

The Honolulu Plantation Company
asked leave to bring out of the infect
ed district three of its employees, and
put them in quarantine upon the noun
tain ridge mauka of the plantation,

Several freight matters were brought
up by George Carter, the chief Conten
ton being over the shipment of sugar
bags in bales, and the method to he
pursued in fumigating them. either
upon the wharf or in the hold OF the
vessel. The chief feature in respect to
shipping sugar bags seemed to hinge
mainly upon the danger of handling
them. Mr.. Carter stated also that res
idents on the Waimanalo side of the
Island were in absolute need of flour,
and stated that there were $50 clean
bags of flour on the Rithet, and asked
leave to have these bags shipped down
by the railroad Mr.. Carter said that
the matter of obtaining flour for that
section of the Island was almost
reaching a crisis unless the Rithet
flour was available. The Board gave
permission to make the necessary
transfer and shipment.
Minister Mott-Smith asked the
Board to carry out a plan which COM
ing from a property-owner at this
time, is certainly a valiant one. He
said that he had some buildings at the
corner of Merchant and Alakea streets
back of the Occidental Hotel, and adj
joining the premises which were swept
by fire, under the direction of the
Health Board, a few days since. Il
would consider it a favor" said the
Minister, "if the Board would con-
denim and burn these buildings of
NINE as | consider them as insanitary
as the premises burned the other day,
and think this is the best method to
purify the place." The Board smiled
when the suggestion was made, but
will probably take action as the Min
lister desires within a few days.
Minister Mott-Smith also asked au-
thority of the Board to erect in the
Executive building grounds a fumi-
eating station and bathrooms, 100 by
80 feet, for the use of the military
guards, necessitated in view of the i'll
ness of the guardsman who was strick-
en- on Wednesday. He thought the
eXrense for such a building would be
borne by the Board, as it was case
coming under the head of expense for
the suppression of the plague. A mo-
ton was carried by which the Minis
ter was empowered to proceed with
the erection of such building. 1t is
estimated the structure will cost in
the neighbOrhoOd of $500
