wered Mr.. Brown. Arrangements had
to be made with the railway and con-
sultation held with contractors. In
answer to remark from the president,
Mr.. Brown said they fully recognized
the Importance OF the matter. To a
suggestion by DR.. Moore about an
earlier removal Of the hides house, the
Metropolitan's representative declared
that the hides was the only portion of
their business that was paying today.
Can we have q guarantee" conclud-
ed Mr.. Brown. that we do not have to
move AGAIN."
Attorney General Dole answered that
II the new establishment should ever
become menace to the public health
1t would have to be removed.
DR.. Pratt anticipated no early pros.
pect Of such a necessity with the fer
tilizer works on one side, the army
reservation on the other and the river
in front. Nobody could approach the
site within at least 500 feet.
Mr.. Brown suggested the practical
bility of having a reservation set apart
within which all slaughtering of ami.
mails for Honolulu's meat supply
should be done.
DR.. Sloggett replied he did not think
1t practicable. The president and
other members. as appeared from an
interview casually held with them by
the Bulletin reporter after the meet

implying a willingness OF the Metro.

Mr.. Browns parting remark In this
connection evidently excited suspicion

Mr.. Porter retorted. "The pig men
can look out for themselves" and
stepping forward uttered vigorous
protest against having his establish.

of shambles from Iwilei.
Ever since the plague epidemic"
said Mr.. Porter, II have kept my place
clean. When I was charged SIS for
whitewashing, bought spraying

der the whole building. | defy any
man to find rat in my building. The
fact that the grain sacks have not been
disturbed proves that there are no rats
about"
Answering DR.. Moore he denied the
prevalence OF bad odors about his
place. President Sloggett dfa not
think the tide was strong enough there
to wash anything away. and Mr.. Por.
ter concluded, 81 don't know where
you can find cleaner place on the
Islands"
DR.. Sloggett at this juncture observ.
ed: I'VE have gained the consent OF
the meat company to move, and
think while we are about IL we had
better get rid OF all the slaughter
houses. Buildings are going up in
there all the time" Here he read The

Mr.. Dole was averse to putting any

question he wanted to be very careful
that they were sure they were right.
Mr.. Porter told OF what had bee,
