house, is plague patient This was
announced as a case of plague iu yes-
.terday's Advertiser.

Board of Health Meeting.
Every member of the Board of Health
was present at the regular meeting
yesterday afternoon. After the reading
Of the minutes of Saturdays deIibera-
tons, DIT Wood announced that the
All Jan ease from Iwilei was one of
plague. and went into the details, all
Of which was reported i'm fun in yes
terday's Advertiser. II visited the in
fecteu premises at Iwilei this morn
ing said Dr. Wood and also the
other Chinese stables right across the
road from the place from which All Jan
was taken. The place opposite is in
every way just as suspicious as the
premises where An Jan lived, their
sanitary condition is much worse, in
fact, and / think that no distinction
should be made between the two places
whatever, in our method of dealing
with them
This locality IS q bad one. most of
the buildings are old and constructed
right on the ground The soil is UNI
savory 20 say the least and the whole
place needs 2 thorough inspection and
some remedial action. So far 1 have
not had time to trace the source OF in
lection in this last case and don't know
how successful an attempt i'm that line
would prove.
All Jan had apparently been sick
about three days when he was remUv-
ed from his home near the Oahu prison.
His was a walking case of plague one
thing at least is very evident, i'm my
mind, and that is All Jan had been
sick ON the premises from which ne
was removed a sufficient length of time
for him To- have infected those prem
ises. if he did not get his infection
from the locality iu the beginning. All
Jan is not dead yet. DE has been I'M
Ogulatad with the serum aud Is now
about the same as he was when taken
to the pest house on Saturday. The
Board had better 20 Over 20 Iwilei az
the end Of the meeting inspect the
ground and decide what is TO be done
with the buildings

An application from the Hawaiian
Carriage Mig. Co. for permission to .
build a. a lot fronting on Queen street, .
Immediately on the rear OF the Judi
ciary building submitted several days
ago and laid on the table for future
consideration, was brought up again
yesterday for action one way or the
other. The conclusion reached was .
that in view OF the fact that the place
had never been condemned as being
infected by plague, the request TO erect .
a carriage factory there. De allowed. .
It viii be remembered that here i- was .
where the building formerly inhabited F.
by German who died i'm November 7.
under suspicious circumstances. was .
located and afterwards burned nc the
