With barely quorum, the Board Of
Health dispatched a right smart lot
of business yesterday.

has been tried unayailingly TO be done
at almost every session of the Legis-
iature for twenty years II made the
Act to Mitigate a dead letter by de-
Gliding 10 carry out its provisions no
longer.
DR.. C. B. Cooper, president; Attor-

gett and Fred. c. Smith constituted
the meeting.
DR.. Cofer. Federal quarantine officer,
transmitted the Oriental health re-

there was one case with a death.

The Taro Contract.
| J. A. Magoon appeared before the
Board on behalf of Lee Chu, contrac-
tor for supplying paiai TO Kalaupapa.
He wanted the contract modified so
that the article might be delivered at
Honolulu. The reason for the request
was the risk of spelling from the un-
certainty of steamer communication.
Mr.. Magoon argued long on the mat
ter and carried on desultory CONVEX
sation with members.
1t was all of no use. The most the
president could say in encouragement
to the contractor was that the Board
hoped before long to have the steam
er for which the Legislature was ap-
propriating $4,000.
Then the Attorney General came in
with a proposal of relief. He moved,
seconded by Dr. Sloggett, that Mr.
Smith, who belonged to another trans
portation company. be a committee Of
one to wait upon Wilder's Steamship
Company in company with Mr.. Magoon
to see what assurance could be given
of regular steamer calls at the Set
Element
This carried but Mr. Magoon had
another hardship to recount. It was
that the conditions for canceling the
contract were rather abrupt on the
contractor. The matter was referred
to Mr.. Smith for report with the 9TH
er. Mr.. Magoon then retired.
New Road Objectionable.
President Cooper read letter from
DR.. st. D. G. Walters, acting superin-
tendent of the insane asylum, calling
attention to the plan of q new road.
the route of which cuts through the
asylum poi house. Having the road
traverse the heart of the asylum
grounds was Objectionable. First the
noise of road construction and sub
| sequently the sights and sounds of
traffic would have depressing in
i fiuence upon the patients.
With reference TO this information.
the president stated that ]. II. Boyd,
superintendent of public works. had
accompanied him TO the place. They
looked over the ground. Mr.. Boyd had
since instructed the road supervisor
to make new surveys. with view to
having the road avoid the immediate
vicinity of the asylum buildings The
superintendent showed willingness
to have the matter adjusted so as to
: prevent a nuisance TO the asylum
