MOLOKAI TELEPHONE LINE.
John Cassidy appeared before the
Board, at the request of President Coo
per, to report on his survey of the pro-
posed telephone line from the Settle
ment to other points on Molokai. He
said the appropriation of $4,000 was
very light for such d heavy piece of
work but if he had the money, to go
to men who had the material with, he
thought something could be done. The
worst jungles he had ever been in had
to be penetrated in crossing the two
pals up there. The appropriation was
would take some time to get material
from the coast. The first requisite
was the money. In answer to DR..
Cooper, he said the $4,000 would make a
beginning. Yes he answered Mr..
Robinson, sit would be a finished job"
The work would be entirely out of the
line of specifications. There were
gulches there where a space of 2600
feet would have to be shot. He sug-
gested that it would be sufficient to.
have the work done under the super
vision of Superintendent McVeigh.
President Cooper stated that he
would bring the matter up at the ex-
ecutive council meeting on Monday and
find out if the money was available.
NO LIQUOR LICENSE.
The petition of J. K. Kahele for a
beer, ale and wine license at the Settle
ment was denied. President Cooper
asked Mr.. Mcveigh to tell the people
that it was absolutely against the
principles of the Board to have any
license for the sale of intoxicating
liquor at the Settlement.
HUMANE CONSENT.
The petition of S. K. Kapihe for leave
to his wife to attend on him at the
Settlement was granted on the advice
of Mr.. McVeigh, who said the petit
toner was an old man with probably
not a great while longer to live.
BUSINESS DEFERRED.
Matters referred to the Attorney
General being recommendations by the
chief health officer relative to SANTA
ton of other towns and the question
of a charge for disinterment certifi-
Gates, were on the order of business
but not reported back.
Dr. Mays was granted more time to
report on a. L. Perry's application
for leave to establish a cemetery. at
Kapiolani tract, Kalihi, as he had not
been able to visit the ground.
CHANGE OF PHYSICIANS.
Dr. James Molonys application to
be transferred as government physician
from Koolaupoko and Koolauloa, Oahu,
to Lahaina, Maui, was granted. The
principle of promotion was thus OBJ

President Cooper reported that the
medical members of the Board, as a
committee on filling the Office of Food
| Commissioner, had decided upon a COM
petitive examination of applicants I'M

! DR.. CONRARDY NOW
| A letter was read from L. L. Conrar-
dy, NJ. D., repeating an application of
/ the writer to be made assistant super
intendent at the Settlement. He wrote
. from Belgium. DR.. Conrardy was for
merry at the Settlement as Father

west regions. where some years before
he was a missionary among the In
dams
There being no position and no salary
appropriated for one of the kind DR.
Conrardy sought, the Board voted tC
deny the application.
SWIPES AT SETTLEMENT.
Superintendent McVeigh brought W
the old evil of swipes at the Settlement
The traffic was rife and it was next
to impossible to obtain convictions
He asked if the Board could not formu-
late regulations whereby for one thing
possession would be valid evidence
against anyone in whose domicile the
noxious liquor was found. As the
houses were the property of the Board
, he thought this means of suppressins
the business would be the more easily
operated.
. The matter was referred to the com.
mittee on regulations.
