IN IWILEI
Slaughter Houses
Are Now to Be
Moved.
BOARD OF HEALTH
TAKES ACTION
Dispensary Must be Moved to
Make Room for United States
Military Supplies.

The Board of Health yesterday decided
to enforce the order made last year by
the former board for the removal of the
slaughter houses in Iwilei. Though the
meat companies located in that vicinity
have already had eighteen months to
comply with the order. no forcibIe action
will be taken until after a special meet
| ing of the board Friday. to VIII ch the
representatives of the various slaughter
houses will be invited
| The first order of removal was made
April 20, 1900, and Executive Officer Pratt
read from the minutes of that meeting,
showing what action had been taken.
II have never seen anything SO insani-
tary and filthy said DR.. Moore, who
had visited the place Tuesday. The
slaughter houses are thoroughly infested
with rats, and they are a constant men
ace to public health. l had no idea there
was such a nasty, dirty place on the
Islands,
Dr. Pratt did not believe the place
could be placed in a sanitary condition.
and the only thing to do was to enforce
the order of removal. He stated that the
Metropolitan Meat Company had already
made plans which had been approved by
the board for new building, out Kalihi
way. mauka of the fertilizer works.
E. A Mott-Smith said that he did not
wish to act hurriedly in such matter,
and upon his motion, definite action was
postponed until Friday, when a special
meeting Will be held.
DISPENSARY MUST MOVE.
The dispensary is to be moved to
building on South street. The move is
made not because the Board of Health
wants to do so, but for the simple rea-
son that they have no other alternative.
The dispensary is at present located on
United States property, in the building
near the drillshed, and yesterday the
military authorities informed the board
that the d.spensary must be removed i'm
mediately, as the shed was required for
storage purposes. superintendent Boyd
has promised a new building for a dis
pensary, and until that time the tempo
rary quarters on South street VIII pe
used.
