WHEN DOCTORS AGREED.


the past two days as valuable. For
that Luey weIe not being treated with
any muIe rigor OF quarantine than the
Caucasian race.
Or. oiuggett commented with favor
on the suggestion MADE at the citizens
meeting mat some check should be
put upon pei sons, especially house SER
wants, TO Keep them from roaming
about town without important bust
ness.
Or. Raymond restated q proposition
he nad iaid before the business men.
IL was to nave buildings erected at Ma
iinl, upon the star uaiiy site, for peo-
pie released from quarantine after hav-
ing lost tneir homes, according to pans
suiLaDie Tor permanent haDitations. lie
mdue a CALCULATION TO snow that II
would be "a good business proposition
even II most vi the people only stayed
there one year. In the meantime 1t
would be a vaIuabie experiment. Lead
ing Chinese snOuid be SHOWN the bene-
hts VI the scheme. IL ought to be an
easy matter to get a synuiCate to put
S1VU,UUU INTO 1t. TO properly owners
IL Was OnIy a matter OF the loss oI Il
few months rent. The health of the
cay ana the commerce OF the county
ought to weigh more than all else to
property owners. still the business
men nad stopped at saying That most OF
the CnIn.se and Japanese could take
ca OF themselves atter being released.
Dr. Herbert thought the scheme
should not be advocated so much as an
investment or philanthropy, but press
ed upon the Govel nment as most de-
snaDIe pubic measure.
DR.. Sioggett SAID the business men
saw 1t In the lignt OF their mercantile
interests. lI the Chinese storekeepers
were reUmved from the city, the white
wholesale houses would be the first to
feel the effects in loss of their trade.
DR.. Herbert thought the proposition
as outlined by DR.. Raymond was one
that the Hawaiian Medical Associa-
ton could recommend in every point. |
lie felt veiy strongly IN favor of 1t. 1t
ought to be fully discussed with bust
ness men. Nothing else would pre-
vent the Asiatic quarter from being q |
constant menace to the safety of the |
city. lou cannot force them to go |
there. the speaker said in answer to a |
question, but you can compel them to
avoid overcIo Rowling their own homes.
Or. Sioggett, who thought well of the
plan, suggested that the sentiment of
the Association should take the form OF
a resolution.
IL was accordingly resolved to con-
tinue DIS. Raymond ana Taylor in
office to confer with the business men,
for the purpose of informing them that
the proposition of creating q new and
Chinatown had the endorse
ment of the Hawaiian Medical Associa-
ion.
DR.. Myers spoke of practice in
vogue in the Southern States, which
had proved very successful in reducing
outbreaks of malarial fever. Whenever
soil was turned up quicklime was
thrown upon it. He suggested this as
a preventive of deleterious results
whenever ground that had been infect
ed here was broken for building or
other purposes.
A general talk ensued on washhouses
within the prohibited linn
is, dirty alleys and yards elsewhere
han in Chinatown, etc.
DR.. Myers moved, 1t was seconded by
Dr.. Raymond and carried unanimous
y, that the Association meet weekly
Turing the present emergency at the
all o. the president, 5
DR.. Taylor presided at the latter &
part of the meeting, the president hav-
ng retired to fulfill an engagement.
