in view of the plague conditions in Ho-
nolulu, they forward three gross of
their disinfectant-soap for the use of

idea If any soap is sent to the other
Islands to send this soap Mr.. Smith

| Mr.. Smith: 81 notice that in the

1.-THE wording of the minutes in regard

1 understand it, no evidence ever came
UP to show where in Kakaako All Hung
had lived"

Mr.. Smith: was the Lucas property
next door to the Hawaiian Hotel sta
bles included when the stables were
condemned by the Board as infected"

y a suggestion in the matter of dealing

now stored in the Aala warehouse, anC
believe 1t would be good idea Il
secure figures from the Honolulu IroI
Works as to the expense Of establish
ing a hot-air chamber there for tn
purpose of fumigating the merchan

70 could be placed right in the Aala ware
house, thus saving the expense of cart

a for fumigation, the matter OF dealin
with the great quantity OF goods ther
would be considerably expedited.
the articles were properly spread ou
hot air at a temperature OF $50 degree
Fahrenheit would kill anything"
Mr.. Smith: Il move that the Pres
dent be authorized by the Board to as
certain the cost of establishing suit
able plant at the Aala warehouse fC
Oh the disinfection of merchandise there
he Carried.
"a DR.. Wood: "Of course this hot-at
plant will not be satisfactory as a PEI
manent thing. 1t only consists
