Doctors Report.

The following is the report OF the
committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Hawaiian Medical
Association and reported at meet
ing held last evening:
LIST. The law relating to the erection
of buildings should be amended so as
to require certificate of duly author
lied official as to its sanitary arrange
ments, plumbing, etc.; also to the
suitability of the proposed location
where the building is to be erected.
End. There is no existing law to pre-
vent the erection of shacks which in
all probability would become insani-
tary in short time.
3rd. The fire limit should extend
westerly to the Nuuanu stream.
18th. No building should be allowed
on the burned district until some fixed
period.
9Th. A general law should be passed
providing for the sanitary arrangement
of all houses, requiring proper plumb
ing and compelling connection with
sewerage system where sewers are laid.
9Th. Land that has been exposed by
firing buildings should be fenced in
and no one allowed inside the fence.
7th. Houses, that are lying empty,
Il. e. unoccupied) and that are not
daily aired are an extreme menace to
the public health, acting as incubators
during epidemics of plague, and would
suggest that the owners Of such dwell
lings or buildings be compelled to keep
them clean and properly ventilated and
open to the visiting inspector.
Sth. After the sewerage system is
established no cess pools should be al
lowed inside the fire limits.
9th. We are of the opinion that the
Coroner should be a medical man of
experience, and consider this a matter
of vital Importance. Quite probably if
investigations in this department with
regard to improperly certified and sud-
den deaths or deaths after short
period of illness had been conducted by
medical man, this plague might have
been recognized earlier.
10th. A sanitary inspector should
also be appointed by the Board of
Health from the medical men, and
given general surveillance, and plenty
of assistance Ia thing the Board has
never had).
Mr.. Reynolds as executive officer has
done excellent work, and won the con-
sideration of everyone who has run
across him in his official capacity, but
he has been endeavoring to do the work
of five men.
18th. A law should also be enacted
enforcing the cremation of the remains
of all those who die from an infectious
disease, such as cholera, plague, etc.
18th. Dumping grounds for garbage
should be abolished and all waste ma
terial destroyed by fire.
