The following is the report of City

Board of Health.
Dear sSir-Following is my report for
the month of February, 1902:
Number of building applications re-
ceived, %.
Number of building applications ap-
! proved, 10.
Number of building applications of
previous months approved, 2.
Number of building applications
held, 1.
Number of building applications held
by survey department, s.
The application held is for a house
in Kewalo. and the lot has not yet
been filed to grade.
Cesspools located during the month.
8. These oesspools are in localities
where there is no sewer.
Buildings altered or moved so as to
conform to the sanitary regulations
of the Board of Health, 5.
Examinations before, during and at
completion of process of building. SO.
Inspections other than of new build
ings, 327.
Certificates for lodging house. res
taurant or hotel licenses applied for
during the month. fl. OF there, "a
were issued and held for sanitary
work to be finished. Certificates issued
on applications previous to February.
5. Previous application permits still
held. g. Number of"adults which can
by law be lodged in these buildings
licensed, 1853
Three formal complaints have been
noted, and the nuisances in each case
were abated.
Seventeen 4S-hour notices have been
served during the month. In each case
the recipient proceeded to abate the
nuisance. The case in court continued
from January was postponed twice.
Finally the case came to trial and the
man was fined S25 and costs.
Fourteen notices to connect to the
sewer within thirty days have been
served, and work in the majority of
cases is progressing already
Two builders without permits have
been ordered to obtain the same and
have done so.
In the reports of the sanitary inspec-
tors it viii be noticed that the number
Of nuisances abated is larger than the
number reported. This discrepancy is
accounted for by the large amount OF
back orders finished up.
Considerable time has been expended
during the month towards putting the
pigpens into sanitary condition. and
while the work is not finished by any
means. yet the Improvement is quite
noticeable. All the pigs have been
ordered out of Pauoa Valley, and with
one or two exceptions have already
been removed.
kalihi and Nuuanu Valleys have
each two or three pigpens in localities
where the water supply cannot be con-
taminated All other pens are gone.
All swine have been removed from
the Palarla district. and especially
along kaiihi Camp road. The removal
of the pens from Iwilei will complete
the work. The localities now approx
ed are those of Paakea at Kamoiliilii:
Kalia. between King street and the
Beach road. Waikiki of Sheridan
the Kalihi Receiving Station. and Ka-
haui&i. below the Fertilizer Works.
kalihi. where the new slaughter
houses are being built. Respectfully
submitted, c. II. TRACY.
