of Health at Lahaina
Lahaina, March /, 1900.

Health, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: In order to prevent the
spreading of the plague to our district,
we had to place guards at the different
points day and night. The amount of
services of such guards during the last
month amounted to 1914. AS | do
not know where to get this money
from. | herewith would respectfully
ask you to assist us in such way that
we will be able to pay off the men.
Respectfully yours,
]. KRUsE,
Agent Board of Health.
In regard to the above letter the
Board, upon motion of Mr.. Hatch, sec
onded by Mr.. Smith, decided to notify
their agent at Lahaina to withdraw
the guards, as they had been appointed
without the authorization of the
Board. 1t was the opinion OF the
Board that they were not responsible
Tor the guards wages.

this morning and he enquired concern
ing the appropriations required by the
Board"
Mr.. Smith: do we want to take up
The matter of securing a steamboat for
