Fishery Restrictions.
The following report was received
from the committee on fishery regula-
lions:
"Your committee appointed at the
last regular meeting OF the Board to
confer with DR.. Cofer Of the Marine
Hospital as to the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
pealing or modifying the Boards regu.
lation prohibiting the taking Of fish
or any products of the sea between
Sheridan street and the reef on thu
Waikiki side, and Kalihi stream am
the reef on the Eva side, including
Honolulu harbor, beg respectfully L
report that in consideration of tn,
spread of cholera in the Orient gen
orally the time is most inopportun
for relaxing these rules OF the Boar,
made in the interest OF public healtl
and safety, and your committee believ
1t would be very unwise ut present Il
Ipermit taking products OF the sea II
the prohibited area, and they further
more believe the public health woul
be endangered by so doing.
"Dr. Cofer fully concurs with you
committee in this opinion"
Mr.. Isenberg raised a discussion b.
suggesting that the reefs all the way 4
Diamond Head should be included Il
the prohibitory regulation. To hav
the line drawn at the tailrace of tn
sewer system seemed arbitrary.
This suggestion was deferred for fur
their consideration, while the report o
committee was adopted.
That Waikiki Nuisance.
Officer Tracy reported in writing o
the Waikiki nuisance, thus:
ION the matter of the ditch com
planned OF by the residents OF the Al
Moana or Beach Road beg leave to re
port as follows:
THE ditch or stream Is about thirt
feet wide and extends from the bridg
on the Beach road along the Ala Nc
ana for about 1000 feet to John Ena'
premises. 1t forms the lower end c
the Piinaio stream and is affected b
the tide. The nuisance is a very Of
fensive odor which Is most noticeabl
at evening when the tide is low.
After thorough investigation | al
satisfied that while the tide may brin
in more or less vegetable matter whic
would be left at low tide, that tn
main causes of the nuisance are I'll
fourteen duck ranches with their thou
sands of ducks. All the ponds drai
Into this stream and all waste and sew
age matter from the ranches is above
ito discharge into the water and tn
ducks keep the mud and filth constant
ly stirred up. Besides this the ducb
destroy all the vegetation in and o
the water and thus do away with nj
lures purifiers.
in my opinion the removal of all II
ducks and ranches would solve Il
difficulty"
After some discussion, Mr.. Tracy WI
directed to see Mr.. Ena, inform hi
that the Board required the remov
of the nuisance and report to me-
meeting.
