Mr.. Lowrey: Il move that the re-
port OF the committee on apprOpria-
tons be adopted Carried.
Mr.. Hatch addressing the secre-
tarvl; In communicating with the
Minister of the Interior on this mat
ter you will explain that these Items
are additional to the ordinary apprO-
priations."
Quarantine for Island Passengers.
DR.. Wood: "A prominent japanese
came to me saying that If in some way
il could be permitted by the Board, he
could supply 200 Japanese laborers,
now out Of work here, with occupation
by shipping them to Hawaii planta-
tons. / think it would greatly re-
lieve the congestion of unemployed
Orientals, refugees from the China
town fire, in Honolulu, If some ar
rangement could be made for sending
them out on the plantations on the
other Islands.
There have been so many applica-
tons from people who wanted TO go
into quarantine the necessary number
of days in order to secure passage for
the other Islands, that something
o'ght to be done to render that quar-
antine available to all. 1t is very hard
on individuals to have to furnish
guards for themselves and they gener-
ally manage to get up a party to go
into quarantine, for the two guards do
as well for a large party as for an in
dividual. We might set aside one
house at thesKalihi detention camp to
use for quarantine purposes for in
tending passengers and allow them to
pay the expenses of running it,"
Mr.. Lowrey: The Chinese and
Japanese might be quarantined on
Quarantine Island"
DIR. Wood: II want, If possible. to
keep Quarantine Island clean for the
purpose of handling immigrants des-
| tined for the other Islands"
DR.. Emerson: who would pay the
expenses of quarantining Orientals
who wish to go TO the other Islands?"
DR.. Wood: THE parties who desire
to employ them, imagine. / consider
that in view of the exceedingly few
cases of plague that have occurred in
1.-THE quarantine camps, something might
well be done towards allowing the
great number OF Chinese and Japanese
to go to work on the other Islands. II
seems perfectly safe to send these peo-
pie to one OF the detention camps for
sufficient number of days, requiring
them to submit to all the usual quar-
| antine precautions and then permit
them to leave for the other islands,.
Mr.. Smith: '"The only difficulty
would be the transfer from the deten-
tion camp to the vessels"
Mr.. Hatch: IF they are quarantined
at Kalihi they can easily be taken on
the cars from the camp to the railroad
wharf"
| Mr.. Smith: II move that the Board
allow all persons DESTROYS of taxing
passage to the other Islands to go into
quarantine at the Kalihi detention
camp, there to submit to all the usual
regulations in regard to disinfection OF
clothing, etc, for a period of fifteen
days: to be transferred from the camp
10 vessels by cars running from the
camp to the railroad wharf" Carried.
| DR.. Wood: The last plague case re-
ported from Kalihi camp, occurred on
January Is; there has been no case
from any camp since that date" Here
the Board adjourned.
At the Kalihi Camp.
Nearly twelve hundred people are
now at the Kalihi detention camp; ont
of this number only about four hun
bred are in quarantine; the rest are
staying there because they have no
other place to go. AS fast as work can
he secured for the men not in quaran-
| tine they leave. Superintendent Nc
| Weigh has the old Konohiki rights sys-
tenn in working order at the camp.
| Under IL, in the old days, all able-5od-
fed men had to work one day each
week for the landlords. In this way
