KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN.
The old discussion of women physi-
clans for school children was again
called up, but the board was no nearer
reaching a settlement than two weeks
ago Another letter from the Kinder
garten Association was read, suggest
ing that woman physician be employ
| ed wherever possible by the Board of
Health, to make the annual eXamina-
ton of school children. The commun-
ication stated that one of the examin-
ing physicians at Kona was a woman
and the practice of appointing women
wherever possible was recommended
though nothing further was said about
compensation. The letter was placed
on file without action.
! MERCHANTS EXCHANGE RESO.
| LUTIONS.
! The resolutions adopted by the Mer-
chants Association calling upon the
| United States for aid in improving the
sanitary conditions of the city were
|
| action. DR.. Sloggett thought action
should not have been taken without
first consultation with the board, as the
present condition of the city was bet
ter than for months, ana there was not
the slightest danger of epidemic. No
disease is reported at the present time.
Mr. Mott-Smith and Mr.. Fred Smith
said that the less said about the mat
ter the better it would be- and the dis
cussion dropped without any action be-
ing taken upon the resolutions.
IWILEI WASH HOUSES.
DR.. Sloggett also reported on the Iwi-
lei wash houses and thought immediate
action should be taken toward cleaning
them up. He said that the report of En-
g1neer Gere upon conditions there was
not correct and he advised having the
wash houses closed at least until inn 4
provements can be made Referring TO z
the report of Supt. Boyd he said that Z
the garbage heaps complained of were =
not due to any fault of the Board of z
Health, but that the garbage bureau
now came under the Department of Pub 8
ic Works, and the unsightly heaps com 4
planned of should be removed by that CIs- ri
)artment. y discussion arose also as to
pest methods of disinfection of clothes q
1t the wash houses, and DR.. Pratt sug- 81
rested the construction of a building q
nauka of the steam boiler at IwiIei n
where clothes washed could be steamed Il
The matter was finally referred to a g
committee consisting of DIR. Moore DR.. ii
cooper and Fred Smith. 3
PIGS MUST GO.
DIR. Moore reported on the petition of &
)oi, who wished to keep pigs at his Pau u
a grounds, recommending that the ami 8
1als be removed, but that the Jap be 4
iven three to six months TO make the 8
hange in location. The committee re- 3
orted that Dol should be ordered TO va
ate within a reasonable time, and the 8
oard finally agreed to fix the limit b
une 1st. In regard to the pigs on Sheri-&E
an street the committee reported the z
ems in as cleanly condition as it was q
ossihle for them to be, and as they We're 3
an uninhabitable location surrounded 4
Y rice fields, they We're allowed TO re- 4
ain.
