Laundry at Iwilei.
There is not single clean or
healthy spot in Iwilei." said DR.. Wood
"and the laundry premises are the dir
test of the lot. The laundry is not a
thing for the Government to be proud
| Of"
Below is given the report of the En-
ecutive officer of the Board and the
| City Sanitary oflicer-it is one report
on the government laundry at Iwilei.
Upon this report the Board condemned
the premises as insanltary and a
menace to the public health and order
ed them to be vacated at once as they
are not fit for human habitation.
The report Is as follows:
| Complying with the instructions OF the
| Board, we on Saturday visited the Gov
| aTpfIpnt wash houses lWilpi
| The large yard where the clothes are
| dried is covered for the most part with
| old boards and underneath these lot
of filth has accumulated. All these
J boards should be removed and the rub
| Dish and filth taken away and the whole
yard covered with coral rock. The yard
| rs low and in rainy weather the water
must stand there, and this Is probably
why the boards have been put down.
There was hardly a room in the whole
laundry that could be called In "A clean
and sanitary condition. The washtubs
are old and the wood saturated with
filth, and should be renewed. When new
tubs are made II might be well to have
them lined with zinc or galvanized iron.
The dirty water runs into the bay and
stands near the shore, not being carried
off by the tide, and gives forth a foul
smell. This water should be carried out
by pipe line farther into the bay.
There is privy on the makai side.
enough TO carry away the discharges.
This privy should be done away with and
a water-tigh cesspool made in some 10
cation that could be reached by the eX-
cavator.
Several lcan-tos have been erected in
side and outside of the enclosure, all of
them contrary to Regulation Two, ana
they should be removed. In number oil
the rooms the lower portions of the
boards are decaying or saturated with
the filthy water. and should be renewed.
The tables where they wash the clothes
are also saturated with the filthy water
and should he removed and renewed we
would recommend that the occupants be
required to cover all these tables with
zinc or galvanized iron to prevent satur-
alton of the wood. 1t would also be well
to cover the walls with galvanized iron
from the floor up, say. about four feet.
1t was decided that the report on the
Government laundry should be sent to
the Minister of the Interior with the
recommendation that new quarters be
provided for this establishment.
Slaughter Houses.
A report on sites selected for new
slaughter houses was then read and |
President Wood was authorized to ar
range for time to visit the proposed |
sites and consider them.
This is the report:
on Friday, the 4th inst, We visited, in
with Mr.. Waller, the three To-
cations selected by the Metropolitan
Meat Company for their new slaughter
of the railroad track and across the
track from the property of the Kalihi
Fertilizer Works. This lot contains about
three and one half acres. The next lot
is nakai of the first one on. ground that
slopes down to the new rail-
road line. The third Is on the makai side
of the new railroad line and extends to
the sea.
The first location was considered to be
too near. Where the third location Is the
land is now very low. washed by the
tide water and would have to be filled in.
The second location has a natural slope [
to the land, which, would insure good
mails would drain makai and a ditch
could be made on the makai side and the
discharges conveyed in a sewer to the
sea. This second location is bounded on
on the makai side by the railroad and
low land of the third location, and on
the Eva side by the railroad and a pond
owned by Mr.. s. NJ. Damon; so that 1t
Is only upon the mauka side that the
place could be encroached upon
In examining into these locations It
have to be considered: The place must
not be SO far from town as to make 1t
prohibitive, but 1t must be at the same
time far enough away so that with the
place would still be as far as possible
ISOLATED; the location such that the waste
water. discharges from cattle, etc., could
be carried away where they would not
be a menace to the public health: also a
location where the odors. II there were
any. would not be carried toward the in
labited district.
The company intends to dispose of all
he refuse from the animals and only the
water for cleansing purposes and the
liquid discharges from the animals would !
90 into the sea.
The location is such that, with the
prevailing winds, any odor from the
would be carried out to
ga and not toward the inhabited portion
II the district.
We would recommend that the Board
'isit the place and approve the second
ooation.
Kalihi Camp Again.
A petition signed by about five hun
lred persons still staying at Kalihi de- ,
ention camp, requesting that they be
allowed to remain there, paying
ominal sum for rent, was next brought /
