.INCURAHES GIVEN MONEY
SUBSCRIPTIONS OF THE OTHER
ISLANDS TURNED OVER.
Good Work of Hospital Will be Fur
thered by This Visitors
to Molokai

The hospital for incurabes will re-
ceive the remainder of the money in
DR.. Woods hands from the collections
made last Spring for plague sufferers.
1t will be remembered that all the ISL
ands sent money to Honolulu, and a
fund of 500 was gotten together. There
was no great need for the money as the
Government was carrying on the relief
work to an adequate extent, so that a
portion of it was saved. DR.. Wood yes
terday asked the advice of the Board
of Health on the matter, and it was
agreed that the hospital should have
the money 1t will be a great help to
the institution just now, for, while mo-
ney has been coming in more literally,
the work has been increasing daily.
The matter of regulations for the Mo-
lokai settlement was discussed at
length. 1t came up on a report of pro-
gress by DR.. Emerson, of the commit
tee. While no actual conclusion was
reached it was practically agreed to
modify the rules in regard to visitors.
That is to say, persons with relatives
at the settlement will be allowed to
visit Kalaupapa, under certain restriC-
lions to be determined upon later, be-
tween the semi-annual trips of the
Board. 1t is believed that this will be
a great satisfaction to many and will
at the same time relieve the Board of
Health of so many applications to ac-
company it on its regular visits.
A bill of the DOwsett Estate for rent
of Quarantine island was read. On mo-
ton of Attorney General Dole it was
decided to notify the claimant that it's
title to the property is disputed.
Sanitary rules for Kahului, Waikiki,
and similar country towns We're dis
cussed, and on motion of DR.. Cooper
the matter was referred to a commit
tee for recommendations,
The matter of charges for sewer con-
nections was discussed at length but
no action was taken as the Attorney
General did not believe, off hand, that
the Board had the authority to fix the
charges, which practically form tax.
A difficulty in obtaining tenders for
supplying canned beef was reported.
Dealers state that they do not carry
large stocks of these goods and be-
fore they can risk a bid they must
know exactly how much the Board re
uuires and the size of the tins desired.
1t was decided to adopt one and two
pounds tins and to give sixty days prior
to the time Of fulfillment of each or
der This latter provision will afford
dealers time to order from the east.
The matter of Plumbing Inspector
Duffy's salary was discussed. He was
voted $3.50 a month, but it seems that
the law allows only $3.50 to the inspector
and 800 to an assistant. There is
loop hole, however in the matter of the
inspector keeping a horse and buggy
and the Board was of the opinion that
the full amount $3.50 a month, could
be secured and should be paid.
