TANNERY PROJECTED.
W. H. Heine wrote for permission to
locate a tannery somewhere in the
! vicinity of Honolulu. 1t would be a
small concern, with a capacity of 10
to 20 hides a day.
DIR. Cooper remarked that while a
tannery was not supposed to be an in
sanitary establishment, it had disagree
, able concomitants which made it OBJ
jectionable within a town.
1t was suggested that a site down the
railroad might be obtained by the ap-
plicant and the matter was left to be
dealt with by DIR. Pratt, chief health
officer, on his return from Hawaii.
NEW FISH MARKET
Mr.. Robinson orally reported for the
committee on Wong Leong's applica-
ton for leave to open a fish market.
The enterprise appeared to be under
promotion by the same parties as were
represented in the scheme of w. C.
Achi previously before the Board.
Dr. Cooper repeated what he had said
at last meeting on an application of
the same kind from Hilo, that the
Board had nothing to do with the site
of private market It's jurisdiction
began with the regulating of the sani-
tary condition of such a place.
On the presidents suggestion the
matter was referred, like that from HI
10, to the Superintendent of Public
Works.
THE INSANE ASYLUM.
Dr. Mays read the following report
of his own from the Insane Asylum
committee, on which action was taken
as noted below:
''As chairman of the committee on
Insane Asylum, I beg to make the fol-
lowing report and suggestions.
IT find that the attendants work in
eight-hour shifts. This is a custom to
be condemned. Attendants should do
10, -
lieved in the evening, as in all hos
pitfalls, by the night attendants.
Attendants wishing leave of absence
have hitherto been allowed to provide
a substitute to temporarily fill their
place This is a custom also open to
criticism. The selection of an employe,
either temporary or otherwise, is a duty
and a responsibility that belongs en-
tirely TO the superintendent.
1.-THE names of all persons employed
In the Asylum under pay, whether
temporarily or otherwise, should APP
pear on the monthly pay roll. No dis
bursement, however small, should be
made by the superintendent without
the proper voucher therefor.
Turning to the womens department.
there is much that needs to be done.
First and foremost is the urgent need
of a matron of the institution, in whose
hands should be intrusted the internal
management of the female department
together with the supervision of the |
35 female inmates and their attendants.
/ am aware that there is no approprla- !
tion for the salary OF such an official,
but 1 feel 1t my duty TO call attention
