good use of all money and materials
and gave an accounting therefor.
Pantheon Block Again.
DR.. Wood then spoke of the Pantheon
block saying that on Sunday he had
gone very thoroughly over the ground
and had come to the conclusion that
there were conditions still existing
there which needed attention at once.
The rear of the New England Bakery
was in most unhealthy and insani-
tary state, and the Uncle Sam restau-
rant was also menace to the public
safety. Other matters then came up
that crowded the Pantheon block
question aside for the time being.
More Money Wanted.
President Wood reported that the
funds at their command were exceed
ing low, and that more money to carry
on the work of fighting the plague
was Immediately necessary. On Feb
ruary 18th, out of $142,6OO that had
been appropriated for the use OF the
Board Of Health, up to that time $685.
900 was Offset in bills. Consequently
but $4,000 remained available.
1t was then moved in view of the
fact that former appropriations for the
suppression of bubonic plague were
nearly exhausted, the Council of State
be asked to appropriate 100000 for
the further work of fighting the plague.
The resolution was properly drawn up
and handed to the Council of State be-
fore the meeting opened.
This settled, President Wood and the
members present visited the premises
where the half-native woman had
died, and condemned them to be burnt.
The house and all the outbuildings ad-
joining will be given to the flames.
1t was while the members of the
Board were on their way to this place
that DR.. Hoffman, and DR.. Grace of
Hilo Joined them. They had just come
from the postmOrtem examination Of
the Chinaman, All Chong, and DR..
Hoffman, told the Board that he had
found it to be case of plague.
The South Sea Island settlement was
next visited and the two houses, in
one of which plague death occurred
in December, were condemned to be
burnt.
The house formerly occupied by
Mary Kaaihue, the woman who died
yesterday, Is owned by f. j. Wilhelm;
the two last described are owned by
VIM. G. Irwin. The orders for burn
ing were made out and the work of
destruction will probably be done to-
day.
