The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-09-10

Following is the report of the City
Sanitary Officer and Inspector of Gem
eteries for August to the president of
the Board of Health:
Six new cesspools have been located
and dug.
| Seven buildings have been altered or
moved so as to conform to the sanitary
regulations.
| Four 4S-hour notices have been serv-
ed and the nuisances abated.
/ Twelve restaurants. seven lodging
houses and one hotel applied for GER
tif1cates of sanitary condition to OBJ
tain licenses and all except one lodg-
| ing house were found to be in GOOD
certificate of lodging house, held
over from last month, was issued.
Three lodging house certificates are
held until the places are put into
sanitary shape. There can be $50
| adults lodged in these buildings
| licensed.
| There have been no arrests made
during the month.
| A vast deal of good has been done
by the work in reducing the number
of mosquitoes. More than a hundred
wagon loads of tin cans, bottles ana
crockery have been cleaned up from
vacant lots, gulches and alleyways and
besides all this, quantities of rubbish
and garbage have been gotten rid of.
The people generally have been will
ing to give advice and occasionally to
help, and between the two we have
managed to get considerable work done
which otherwise was practically inn
possible. People have also gotten rid
of more or less stagnant water and re-
paired and closed their cesspools and
drains on their premises.
Ny assistant and I have made 1.l25
inspections during the month.
The inspection of burials, disinter-
ments and cemeteries generally has
been carried on. There is now less
trouble because the cemetery suDerin-
tendents understand that the graves
must be the required depth before a
burial will be allowed and usually
have the grave ready some time before
the funeral arrives. Of course this is
not always the case and funerals have
had to wait in some cases as long as
two hours before the hole is the re-
auired depth.
AS for the breaking into and through
other collins in digging hole, I am
now working on a set of regulations to
have ready in a short time for sub
mission to the Board for action.
