HEALTH
Premises From Which Last Plague
Case was Taken-Condition of Travel.
Report on Levy's Condition.

Yesterday afternoon the Board OF
Health condemned the premises on the
Iwilei road occupied by All Jan, the
latest plague case. This consisted of
the living apartments and stables of
Gee Fow. The matter of the stables on
the opposite side of the road was left
over to the meeting this afternoon. DR..
Wood is firmly of the opinion that this
property is also infected and should be
destroyed.
The whole matter was discussed at
Yesterdays Board meeting. DR.. Wood
reported officially that All Jan was a
plague patient. There were bubonic
Swellings and all the other symptoms.
There was a long discussion of the
subject of travel. DR.. Day suggested
the use of preventive serum. 1t was
finally decided that a person taking the
serum might leave at the end of seven
days without having gone into quaran-
tine at all. President Wood recon-
mended that the members of the Board
first inoculate themselves in order to
give confidence to the community.
Permission was granted the Hawai-
ian Carriage Manufacturing Company
to build carriage warehouse on the
vacant lot back of the judiciary build
ing on Queen street. Three small cot
tages We're burned there some weeks
ago by the Board of Health. AS the
premises were never condemned as he
ing insanitary, but the burning of the
houses was at the request Of the own
eI, the Board did not feel that il could
consistently prevent building upon the
site at once.
The matter of pay of guards came
Up. 1t was decided to pay the bill at
l'ahaina and also two-thirds of the
costs of guards in the Hama district.
ne budget for Honolulu guards was
also approved.
