sue no further building permits, unless

cordance with the existing laws for
the erection of fire-proof buildings for
the locality known as the burnt dis
trct in the city of Honolulu. until an
| investigation has been made by a
committee of the Legislature as to the
sanitary condition of said locality, as
we'll as to the advisablity of including
the same within the boundary of the
fire limits Vf the city of Honolulu"
Hihio moved that the resolution be
tabled.
Emmeluth said the resolution was a
good one and should be passed. The
future sanitary condition of Honolulu
depended on it. If there were any OBJ
| jections to the resolution he would like
to know them.
| Mossmann said the resolution at
tempted to limit the fire-proof district.
1t was not proper, either. 20 prohibit
people from erecting buildings In the
burnt district.
Hihio said that in the burnt district
were many poor people, and the reso-
| luton would GUST the poor and help
the rich. The members should visit
the district and determine for them
selves the fire limits.
