Gentlemen;-As the representative of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants Association of Honolulu I
beg to hand you a copy of the Resolu
to be presented to the President and to
the Congress of the United States, for
your consideration.
In explanation of the causes which
give occasion for these resolutions l
beg to submit herewith a brief state
ment of facts:
On the morning of December 18th,
1899, a case of bubonic plague was dis
covered in that part of the city of Ho-
nolulu occupied by the Chinese resi-
dents and having a dense population,
resulting i'm the death of the patient,
which case was followed by some two
or three sudden deaths within a few
hours. Previous to this time 1t was
generally known fact that many ports
and cities of Japan and China had bu-
oonic plague, so that the Board of
Health of the city of Honolulu had
been strictly on guard and maintained
vigorous quarantine restrictions in or
der to prevent it's reaching the city.
However, in spite of every reasonable
lence was strikingly evidenced by the
suddenness of the deaths of those af-
aicted and who up to the very day of
death had been apparently in good
health. Immediately steps were taken
by the Board of Health and the Gov
ernment officials to suppress this evil
which stood as a menace to the lives
and property of every citizen, and all
of that portion Of the city having a
dense population of Chinese, Japanese
and Natives and numbering approx
mately 1900 people, was placed under
strict quarantine and under guard and
not being allowed to depart except on
written permits issued by the Board Of
Health. AS the most efiicacious meth
cd of eradicating the germs of the dis
order the bodies of the victims We're at
once cremated and all their personal
effects as well as their places of abode,
when it was found that fumigation
could not be made, were burned.
At this time also, the business men
of the city cooperating with the Gov
ernment and Board of Health authOri-
ties instituted close sanitary inspection
of property and of individuals within
the quarantine district Citizens 8
Sanitary Committee was organized,
and the entire city districted and semi
daily reports MADE as 10 the cohuluol
of an parts Of the city whether within
or without the infected and quarantin-
ed limits. Committees of business men
appointed to examine and appraise all
property ordered or likely to be order
ed to be burned, where the same
could not be saved by fumigatiOn,
and to transport and house per-
sonal effects and merchandise that
might be considered clean and free
from plague germs though within
quarantine district in warehouses un-
, der their control.
A committee also composed of three
of the leading contractors and builders
were appointed by order of the Board
OF Health to examine, measure and
plot, photograph and appraise the val
ue of the buildings ordered to be burn

DER the provision of the Organic Act

Federal Government, and if said claims
shall be found to be just demand up

properly adjudicated, we respectfully
but most earnestly urge the favorable
consideration of the Congress of the
United States of the appeal Of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii for Federal aid in this
contingency and it's action in comph-
ance herewith by such method as the
Congress may deem to be most expedi-
ent.
Among further considerations which
lead us to make these recommenda-
tons are certain facts here briefly re-
ferred to but more fully set forth in
said papers, viz:
The extreme monetary stringency eX-
isting in said Territory, owing largely
10 the losses Occasioned by the plague
ps well as to the expenditure by the
Territory, since annexation, of up
wards of twenty millions of dollars for
machinery and supplies in the develop
1nent of the sugar plantations and to
the increased burden upon business en-
terprises caused by the income tax of
two per cent (2go) enacted by the Ter
ritorial Government in it's efforts to
provide adequate revenue.
For all the reasons stated it would
seem that the aid prayed for should be
granted at this critical juncture in the
affairs of the Territory to the end that
the former healthful conditions OF bust
ness, so seriously impaired by the
causes stated and through no fault of
the authorities or claimants, may be
restored

the gridiron rather muddy;
