BOARD HAS BUSY MEETING
lwilei Laundry Condemned--Lepe
for Molokai-- Stables ReguIa-
ons--NobIitt Case.

There was so much business to be
transacted at the meeting of the Board
of Health yesterday afternoon that it
was decided after the more important
matters had been handled to adjourn
and continue the meeting in the even
ing.
President Wood was in the chair and
DR.. Emerson and Messrs Lowrey,
Smith and Cooper We're present
The first matter which came up for
action was DR.. Noblitt's request for a
reconsideration by the Board of Health
OF the revocation of his license to prac-
tice medicine. Dr. Noblitt was present
at the meeting and asked that if the
Board was unable TO devote the time
at that meeting to the hearing of his
case, 1t appoint some time when it
would be convenient to consider the
matter. 1t was the decision of the
Board that the President should set a
day for the taking up of DR.. Noblitt's
case. President Wood set no date dur
ing the meeting, waiting to consider a
favorable time.
List of Lepers.
Mr.. Reynolds had submitted a list of
the names of persons who had been de-
clared to be lepers by the Board of Ex-
amlners and who are at present at the
kallhi receiving station awaiting trans
fer to Molokai. Upon a motion to the
effect that the lepers named be sent to
Molokai, it was decided that with the
exception of certain persons, those
| lepers now at Kalihi should be taken
to Molokai by the next available boat
One or two of the exceptions are very
! young children who may possibly be
cured as the disease has only just COM
menced in their cases.
Fifty-two persons are named in the
| list of lepers. OF this number thirty
three are Hawaiians, eleven are half
whites, four are Portuguese, three are
Chinese and one is German Out of the
| fifty-twO, thirty-nine are males while
! thirteen are females. The ages of the
lepers range all the way from five to
| SiXty-seyen years. Twenty-one are
from this Island, fourteen from Maui
| fourteen from Hawaii and three from
Kauai. Those of Oahu come from the
places named below, as follows:
Two from Waialua, three from Ka-

1t is about time for the Board of
Health to make it's regular visit to the
Leper Settlement on Molokai This
! visit used to be made Semi-annually
| but has come now to be more of an
annual affair. DR.. Wood can not spare
the time just now to go with the rest
| of the Board so it was agreed at the
meetin~ yesterday that the visit should
| be deferred for awhile. None of the
members of the Board of Health want
to miss the fifteenth of June, Terrific
rial Day; nor do they want to be away
| from Honolulu on the eleventh of June,
Kamehameha Day.

was the next subject for discussion

Fish in Hilo.
Inasmuch as complaints are coming
from Hilo-the town where me kicks

Plumbin Inspector.
| DR.. Wood said that the Minister of
the Interior was very anxious that a
man should speedily be appointed as
| plumbing inspector, so that bad and
| faulty plumbing could be prevented. No
regulations as yet exist in regard to the
plumbing in this city, and unless an in
spector was going to look after the mat
ter. great harm would be done by care
less and faulty plumbing. There are
half a dozen applications from good
men for the Office of plumbing inspect
