cept Chinese food stuffs, and which by
previous decision OF the Board had
been declared questionable.
Dr. Wood stated that rice and paddy
were known to be articles particularly
| dangerous in carrying plague. and dry
goods he considered should be classed
| likewise.
4 statement was made at this juno
ture that Mr. Baldwin of Maui had
written a very strong letter upon the
ship tent of goods from Honolulu to
that island, intimating that the inhab-
tants there did not wish TO receive
any class of goods from this port, ex-
cept such materials as are absolutely
necessary.
DR.. Wood also stated that the mer-
| chants committee made a statement in
direct antagonism with the declara-
| ton of the Board of Health that the
| entire city of Honolulu was under
| quarantine, and therefore no goods
could be considered as coming from
an absolutely clean part of the city.
Upon motion of Mr. Smith the mat
ter was referred to the Sugar Planters
Association which will be asked to
| furnish the Board with its views upon
the subject.
Mr.. Cooper submitted maps of the
proposed new streets and alleyways in
the Chinatown districts to the Board
and the same were referred to the
Survey Department so that the entire
outlined scheme could be drafted up
on the Board of Health reference
maps.
Application of II. L. Winslow of XII
hei Plantation for appointment as gov
n mo Di1ucinilO fnr plrt in district c
on Maui around Kihei was read. There
icing no appropriation for a govern
ment physician there, the Board felt
there was no necessity for making the
appointment.
Upon the recommendation of the
Examining Board of Physicians, the
application of DR.. Chas. Davis for a
physicians license was referred to the
Minister of the Interior for favorable
action.
A communication from Jno. +. Col
burn was read in which he offered the
Board the free use for one year of land
in the vicinity of the new detention
camp at Kalhi. The land embraced
in me offer amounts to nearly fifty
acres, and the Board is expected to
Gear it of brush and other obstruc
lions at its own expense. The land
belongs to the Kapiolani Estate, Ltd.
1t was moved that the offer be referred
to the general committee having
charge of the location of camps at Ka-
lihi.
An application from a Chinese hui to
feed the people at some of the camps
was referred upon motion, to G. b..
Wilson, superintendent OF the deten-
ton camps
