/ c. II. Charlock, registrar Of births
and deaths, and lately temporary sec
| rotary of the Board of Health, was
yesterday appointed secretary, to take
the place made vacant by former Sec
rotary Wilcox. The election OF Mr..
Charlock was unanimous, he having
| demonstrated during a probation OF
four weeks that he is capable of filling
the important position with credit to
the department. Mr.. Chariock has been
connected with the health department.
| for number Of years, and his services
have been greatly appreciated by past
boards. Upon the retirement of Will
cox as secretary several weeks ago, Mr..
| Charlock was advanced to the position
of temporary secretary.
! The position made vacant by Mr..
Charlock will be filled by Robert Hen
derson, the only applicant for the Of
| flee. In his letter of application Mr..
Henderson stated that he had resided
| in Honolulu since 1895, with the excep-
ton of fifteen months while he was IN
| the Philippines, as a member of the
Tenth Pennsylvania Volunteers. He
has also been employed here as GUS
| toms guard, and was with the internal
revenue department as deputy collec-
tor. OF late he has been with the Met
lropolitan Meat Company. He was rec
Stackable, Representative Hogs and
others. A motion was made that he be
appointed registrar, and if necessary to
make a change by reason of unfitness
| for the position the board could do
SO. Mr.. Dole pointed outs that such
| course would not tend to give an APP
pointee an opportunity to perform his
duty. and he said that if an appoint
ment was made it should be with the
idea of retaining the man in the office
| to which he was so appointed. This
course prevailed when the matter came
| to a vote. Henderson will enter upon
| his duties at once.
1 The board meeting yesterday after
noon was attended by President Slog-
gett, Messrs. Dole, Smith, Mott-Smfth,

/ was an unwillingness on the part or
| certain people whom he had approach
ed relative to occupying the buildings
of Lihue Hospital, while not in use as
a hospital Those who would tenant it
would not stipulate to keep the place
in repair. The board decided to deny
| the request for tenancy except this
condition be complied with.
| Complaints of an angry nature from
property owners residing in the vicini-
| ty of the Hawaiian Soda Works on
Emma street, near Vineyard street,
were read, in which the works were
characterized as being in most In
sanitary condition. Certain of the
lcomplainants said that the odors eman-
ating from the works were SO foul that
| they were nauseated. One said that
the windows of his residence were
within twenty-five feet of the place,
| and the doors were unbearable. 1t was
stated that the company had been or
dered by the health department about
a year ago to put standpipe in the
cesspool and that it be. cemented over.
The neighbors say that the company
has failed to comply with the order.
The board referred the matter to the
city sanitary officer for special report.
