fused the permits on the ground that
the latest amended regulation Of the
Board Of Health did not allow any
building in certain districts until all
Of the proprietors therein had complied
with the filling up requirement.

mits being ordered to be issued.

build on part Of his leased ground

had been filed to grade. The remain
der OF the lot would be treated proper
ly as soon as possible. For the present
the untitled portion was only to be used
for the back entrance of blacksmith
shop. 1t did not seem to him that the
sanitary requirements OF such an es-
adjustment should be extreme.

matter to him for report. stated that
the regulation was simply that an en-
ire lot must be graded before building
cOulu ne uOne upon II.

Health cal officer in command of
'~cautionsM Marine Hospital Service,
wrote saying a search Of custom house
records showed no importation of eggs
packed in soil from China since early
in June, 1900, prior to the time the
United States Marine Hospital Service
took charge of quarantine matters in
the Hawaiian Islands. Eggs and other
articles" the letter said, packed in
soil from plague infected places are
prohibited from entry into United States
ports unless accompanied by certin-
cate of medical inspector of the Ser
vice at the port of departure relative to
their freedom from danger.
From June IA, 1900, up to the pres
ent time all Asiatic freight arriving at
Honolulu has been subjected to disin-
lection by sulphur dioxide, at the Pa
cific Mail wharf, prior to delivery to
the consignees. 1t is the intention to
continue this practice until plague con-
ditions in the Orient show decided i'm
provement.
"Vessels departing from ports In the
Orient for ports in the United States
are now inspected prior to departure by

OF meDt regarding breach
Discipline Of rules and definite in.
structions committed by David Nahoo-
lewa. an officer of the Board, in sendin,,
lepers from a steamer to the Kalihi ex-
pertinent station in public hacks.
Mr.. Lowrey remarked, that more real
injury, 1t seemed to him, had been
done to the community by the treat
ment of the incident by some newspa-
pers than by the act of the officer, espe-
cially in view of the prompt disinfection
Of the hacks by order OF the executive
officer.
DR.. Emerson thought something that
would be felt should be done to the Of,
fender by way OF discipline, such as
suspension or deprivation Of pay for a
period.
Mr.. Dole moved that David Nahoo.
lewa be suspended for one month with
out pay. In seconding the motion. Di
Emerson said THAT while realizing
that the public danger from it was
slight, this fact should not be taken al
condoning the ofrense, None of then
imagined that II did.
Mr.. Lowrey thought the worst part
of It was sending the lepers clear Out
