The city sanitary officer submitted a
report on the condition of the premises
of Hing Chong, on Nuuanu street, just
above Vineyard street, with references
to a plan enclosed. He described a
two-story store building with one
large room on the second floor. Its
ground floor was within six inches Of
the surface of the ground and when the
floor was torn up pools of water were
standing under It. The owner was
given orders to raise the building two
feet and All these holes. Instead, he
dug down about eight inches and was
laying a new floor when stopped by the
inspector. The building itself Is old
and rotten and all the underpinning
has rotted away and the ceilings are
low and the rear rooms are poorly ven
tilated. The ground under the building
/ is still damp and will remain so because
the surface drainage from the next
three premises above tends toward this
building. The building should be torn
down.
Four other buildings we're used as
kitchens, bathrooms and sleeping
rooms. They are all within six inces
Of the ground and have low ceilings
and small dark windows and the con-
dtion of the rags and paper on the
walls is filthy. Besides this, these build
ings shut off almost entirely the light
and circulation of air from the rooms
Of the first floor Of another building
indicated. They should also be torn
down.
That building in the shade is practi.
cally on the ground and there is no
chance for circulation of air under
meath as the siding extends down into
the ground. The musty odor due to the
dampness under the building combin-
ed with paper black with dirt and age
is sufficient to condemn the building.
1t should be raised clear from the
ground and all the mating and paper
removed and the rooms disinfected and
cleaned before anyone should be al.
lowed to inhabit the same.
Another of the fabrics is used as .
blacksmith shop and the floor is like
wise close to the ground. The floor
should be removed entirely, and the
part of the building occupied by the
family of the blacksmith should be
torn down or raised clear OFF the
ground. A certain kitchen is sanitary
