HEALTH OF MANY
IS MENACED
Proposed Road Through Asylum
Lands viii Not Be
Built.

r. Law, a teache.s at the Kalhi-
waena school, has notified the Board
of Health that Kalihi stream is often
befouled by the washing of clothes,
cleaning of horses and mules, and in
many other ways is made receptacle
of filth. He stated in a letter which
was read at yesterdays meeting that
this stream was in many instances the
only source a large number of people
had for obtaining their supply of wa
ter for domestic purposes, and he be-
lieved that ia the interest OF the health
of the people living along its banks, the
stream should he kept clean. Upon
the suggestion of Dr. Sloggett the
board appointed Mr.. Law special
agent of the Board Of Health with
power to enforce the sanitary regula-
tons in the district in which he re-
sides,
| A letter from DR.. Walters, superin-
tendent pro TEN of the insane asylum,
fformer protested against the action of
{ the road engineer in laying a road
|. through the property of the asylum.
Eeawas of the opinion that If the road
was built and thrown open to the pub
lie II would have deietericus effect
upon numbers of his patients. mas
| much as the proposed road was to go
directly by the ward in which the
worst types of insane persons were
lodged, the effect upon them would be
nothing short of injurious and he ap-
pealed to the board 20 use its influence
to prevent the engineers from contin-
uing further.
1.-The president said he had seen the
Superintendent of Public Works in re-
gard 20 the matter and that the latter
had desire to allow anything to be
| done that would be an annoyance to
!. the patients. and therefore the road
/ would probably be moved oyer to the
ksxtre1ne end of the taro pa1cn. which
! would be.far enough away. = $50
