FISH MARKET AT HILO. II
Sanitary Inspector Bowen of Hilo re-
ported that he had received an applica- h
tiCn for the establishment of wholesale l

could not accommodate everyone.
There was some question, however, as
to the ability of the fish inspector to
take care of more than one market,
and also as to the law in regard to the
market. 1t was decided to write 20 c.
G. Kennedy and get an expression Of
opinion as to the desirabiliIy of anoth- Il
n market in Hilo. II
