it is the intention of the company to
place the coming new steamer of its
fleet in this service.
TANNERY PROJECTED.
w. II. Heine wrote for permission to
Elocate a tannery somewhere in the
vicinity of Honolulu. 1t would be a
small concern, with a capacity of 10
to 20 hides a day.
| DR.. 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 town.
It 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 DR.. Pratt. chief health
officer. on his return from Hawaii.

Mr.. Robinson orally reported for the
committee on Wong Leong's applica-
ton for leave to open a fish market.

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
IoodAu ndu uOllllhS 10 10 Will NlAS 81
