the Powers of the Board to carry out
the directions of your resolution No 4
ana ne advised me that the Board of
Heaith is without power to confine per-
! sons who have been declared clean and
Tree OF disease by Federal quarantine
authorities, when those persons have
come from an American port with a
cream Dill of health. To do so would be
an arrogation of authority dist .nctly in
opposition to the American theory Of
freedom of Interstate passage and inter-
course and an abridging of personal lib
erty at variance with our institutions.
Such an act on our part would place each
member of the Board liable to action in
the eyes of the law
The report on bids for the supplying
OF rolled barley for the Board of Health
stables was then read, showing bids as
foilows: Union Feed Stables, $26 rs;
California Feed Company. s26; ]. M.
Camara, $25. The bid of J. NJ Camara,
being the lowest had been accepted.
The report was approved by the meet
ing.
d. Slogget introduced a resolution
that tenders be advertised for, for the
| furnishing of drugs to the Board of
Heaith for the rest of the year DIR.
Garvin moved that the resolution be
made to cover the furnishing of surgi-
cal supplies, as well as the furnishing
OF drugs. The resolution was adopted
with the amendment proposed. This is
a new departure, it having been pre-
viously the arrangement to purchase
these supplies at random.
Mr. e. A. Mott-Smith read a partial
report of the fao x.ybio hol
appointed to investigate the Insane
Asylum. The report was unfinished,
and Mr.. Smith stated that information
would be obtained today for making it
complete. The report was not acted
upon. and was left in the hands of the
committee for completion
letter from DR.. Walters. Superin-
tendent of the Insane Asylum, was
then read. 1t contained request for
an appropriation of SILT for the re-
pairing of closets. Dr. Garvin moved
that the request be allowed and sum
paid from the appropriations on hand.
The motion was carried.
Mr.. E. A. Mott-Smith reported YER
bally that an expenditure of twice the
amount of the present charge for exca-
vations would make the system self
supporting; enlarging upon his idea, he
said that the same applied to the garb-
age arrangements, and outlined a plan
for making the entire system self-sup-
porting. His plan was not considered,
DR.. Cooper ruling that the matter could
not be taken up until complete reports
were before the board.
DR.. Sloggett reported that the ex-
penses of the Molokai and Kalihi set
Elements were as economical as could
well be managed, and that he could not
recommend any reduction.
The committee to whom the matter
of licenses to sell poisonous drugs had
been referred recommended that Ii
eenses be issued only to those who
could pass satisfactory examinations,
and the following resolution was
framed and approved:
THAT an answer be sent to the treas
urer advising him to issue licenses for
the sale of poisonous drugs to those
only who can pass an examination be-
fore three graduated pharmacists as to
the nature of the drugs and their ac-
lions, and also sign an agreement that
upon condition of being allowed the
privilege of selling poisonous drugs.
that they will abide by the regulations
of the Board of Health in regard to
the sale of the poisons.
I'VE believe that the recommendation
is necessary for the preservation of the
health of the public and for the pro-
lection of the class of people who would
be supplied by those who are applying
for the licenses
Captain S. Johnson, the Sanitary In
spector. reported the tug Eleu on dry
dock. This tug hauls garbage out to
the sea. Captain Johnson reported
that the Fearless asks $40 a trip for
the work, which the board considered
too much. 1t was recommended that
Young's launch be negotiated for, for
temporary service, while the Eleu is
being repaired.
The Rapid Transit Company's appli-
cation that some regulation be made
