The Board OF Health yesterday
afternoon decided that a sanitary
trough should be put in at once
between the slaughter houses IN fwi-
lei and a point near Kalini channel;
also that the slaughter houses should
make all haste in removing to posi-
ton west of the railroad IN kalihi
near Allan Her0ert's place. The new
places are TO be constructed on lines
TO be approved by the Board and must
have 2 fiume TO the Kalihi channel 10
carry of refuse.
The following were present at the
meeting with the Board: Cecil Brown,
representing the Metropolitan Meat
Company: Ed. Inghsm, representing
Ingham & Klein; F. F. Porter. for
himself, and DR. Mcnsarrat, Terri
torial veterinary surgeon. Cecil
Brown was the principal spokesman
for the party. He presented map
showing the line of the trough to be
used in conveying the refuse to sea
For the Metropolitan Meat Company
he stated that the concern was ready
and willing to move to Kalihi; in fact.
a piece of land for the purpose had
already been purchased. The only
difficulty in the wav was the improb-
ability of being able to secure right
OF way for the flushing trough down to
the Kalihi channel The corporation
could not condemn AID people wanted
d-mining-property prices for their
holdings.
DR. Sloggett stated that the Board
of Health had no desire 10 crowd the
slaughter houses out of Iwilei with
undue haste. but it must insist upon a
remedy at Iwilei without delay. The
establishment of refuse trough to the
sea would be insisted upon at once,
and it would also be required that the
slaughter houses move to Kalini as
soon as the buildings could possibly
be erected.
Mr.. Brown replied that the Metro
politan Meat Company would very
soon be able to move il the right Of
way for the refuse trough could be OBJ
tanned He pointed out several routes
the trough could take
In answer to this Dr. Sloggett said
that he felt sure the Board of Health
could arrange with the United States
authorities for the right OF way over
government land.
Here followed considerable talk and
a careful perusal of maps. at the con-
clusion of which Cecil Brown stated
that an arrangement would be per
fectly satisfactory.
Just there. however, Cecil Brown
brought up another bugaboo. He
wished to know that if after sDeud-
ing a large amount of money in fixing
UP its places at Kalihi. the present or
a future Board of Health might not
also condemn that and force them to
leave the new location. Could the
Board not give some guarantee that
the new location would be perma-
nent one?
DR.. Slcggett replied that it would
be impossible for the Board to voueh-
safe any guarantee. II the premires
were allowed to become insanitary
condemnation would most certainly
follow. If kept in proper shape there
would likely never. be any trouble at
all.
Mr.. Porter fell keenly the charges
against Iwilei. as applied to his place

Both Drs. Moore and Pratt reported
having seen rats in Iwilei in the past
few DAYS and the former said he b.
lieved that the rat he saw was in Mr..
Porter's place. The latter replied
that his entire premises were losded
with rat poison ard he could not &C
count for the existence of a rodent

Mr.. Porter again took the hcor and
