DR.. Wood Advocates Their Abolition
in Business Districts.

The Territorial Stables were refused
building permit for their new struc-
ture on King street by the Board of
Health yesterday. 1t appeared that
the company proposed to cover a lot
156 by pa feet in extent with one struc-
ture under different roof part of 1t to
be used for stores, part for lodging
house and part for stables for 102 hor-
ses, and as there was no air space be-
tween the buildings the Board decided
to refuse the permit, so the company
will have to entirely remodel it's plans.
S. NJ. Ballou appeared before the Board
for the company, and he stated that
the company would do everything in it's
power to keep the building in sanitary
condition. He believed that the reason
for the adverse report on the building
was due to its juxtaposition to the
Kawaiahao seminary
Mr.. Lowrey moved that the building
permit be granted provided an air
space of five feet be maintained all
about the three sides of the building
devoted to the stables Mr.. Ballou said
that this amounted to practical pro-
hibition of the building, but the Board
passed the resolution.

The Iron floor is warped and blistered in

Board Of Health Refuses Permit For
Territorial Stables.

DR.. Wood, president of the Board of
Health, advocates the prohibition of
earth-lined cesspooIs throughout the en-
tire business district and the surround
ing portion of the town bounded by
School, Liliha and Alapai streets.
At yesterdays meeting of the Board
DR.. Wood introduced a resolution embody-
ing his ideas, but the other members of
the Board thought II a trife too radical
and IL was tabled for the present. The
resolution was as follows:
Whereas, the custom of excavating cess
pools into the porous layer of the soil
and depositing therein albuminous and
other organic waste, including the excre-
ments from human beings and animals.
and allowing such organic waste in a
soluble state to permeate the soil to a
point of saturation in thickly populated
districts, is In itself pernicious custom
and
| Whereas. the population of Honolulu
has greatly increased In the last two
years and is at present rapidly increas-
/ ing. and
I Whereas. typhoid fever has become a
prevailing disease in Honolulu and the
Territory in general, and
/ Whereas, the city has just received a
severe and expensive demonstration OF
the evils of such soil pollution, therefore
be II
Resolved. That the excavating of cess
pools. except such as are made water
tight by cement or other impervious ma
terial, be positively prohibited in that
/ port on of the city of Honolulu bounded
as follows: On the east by a line 500
feet Eva Of Liliha street, from the sea
to School street, thence to the summit OF
Punchbowl thence to Alapai street
thence to the sea, and so to the starting
point.
DIR. Emerson thought the measure toe
radical, as he said 1t would be very ex.
pensive for many people in the district
mentioned, notably on the slopes oil
Punchbowl to take care of such cesspools
and Keep them properly excavated. Some
OF the other members agreed with hin
and the resolution was laid on the table.
/ The report of the committee appointed
by the Board at its last meeting TO report
on the matter of the Pantheon building
reported the resolution that was infor-
mally adopted by majority of the Boart
last Saturday. was formally read anc

THE GOVERNORS COUNCIL.
Routine Matters Disc used by Heads
of Departments.

In the Governors council yesterday
Treasurer Lansing presented a letter
that had been sent by the Registrar of
Elections to Jonathan Shaw, collector
of taxes. calling attention to the fact
that according to the Hawaiian cleo
ton law he was required to furnish the
Boards of Registration with a list of
those people who had paid their poll
tax, but after considerable discussion
IL was decided that this portion of the
law was dead letter since the change
from a Republic to a Territory. The
objection of the Hawaiian Fertilizer
Company to the payment of a tax on
the sale of imported merchandise on
the ground that the raw material only
was imported and the goods manufac-
tured in the Islands, was also reported
by Mr.. Lansing, and he said that he
had not been able to see the matter
as the company had desired for there
was nothing In the law that would
justify the exemption.
