following:
DR.. Howard, city physician;
Or. Hoffman,, bacteriologist;
Drs. MonsarIat and Shaw. veterinary
surgeons and meat inspectors.
Dr. Myers, inspector under Act to
Mitigate.
There should be two city physicians
and their functions should include
those now exercised by Or. Myers. The
bacteriologist should have added to his
duties the work Of a public educator IN
sanitation. The president intended
making new appointments for the va
rious services affected.

hardship would be caused by compul-
sorry waiting for certificates.
Dr. Cooper said Niihau for instance.
The matter was referred to the At
torney General to draw up rule
meeting all cases.
David Dayton appeared before the
Board in behalf of the Oahu Cemetery
Association. Owners of family plots
wanted permission to extend such into
the alleyways SO as to have all their
dead in one place. The Association
owned considerable land unoccupied. 1t
was for burial purposes only, accord
ing to their charter. Therefore 1t
seemed hard If they could not dispose
of the land. They wanted the rule pro-
hibiting burials within city limits
modified to fit the case. 1t was their
desire to construct a receiving vault
which would do away with the neces-
sity Of keeping bodies in undertaking
shops. In answer to DR.. Cooper's re-
mark that the difficulty would be in
giving one cemetery privilege not &C
corded to others, he said this was the
only cemetery Incorporated.
Mr.. Smith said number OF people
owned land not occupied in Makiki
cemetery.

cided to carry out the regulation as II
stood.

Mr.. Lowrey thought a mistake had
been made in the regulation as last

burial plots the privilege of burying
their dead therein without any qualif-
cation. 1t might result in overcrowd-
ing plots.

ton until the regulations were in their
