After many weeks the committee on
oInplaints about duck ranches pre-
eated the following report:
Honolulu. Hawaii, May 4, 1904.
E. Pinkham, Esq, President, Board
of Health.
Sir: Your committee to whom was
ferred the complaint of certain resi-
,nts along the Ala Moana road beg
ave to report as follows:
The majority of the duck ranches in
e Waikiki district drain through
'nds either into the Piinao stream or
to a stream which runs makai and
idge on the Ala. Moana road. Both
these streams are very sluggish and
iltain quite little vegetation.
IN the Waikiki district there are fif-
zone duck ranches. with approximate
10.230 ducks, and it can be easily !
en- that there will be a large amount Z
filth from such a number of ducks.
lis filth ALTERS communicating the
nds and streams is gradually washed
wn upon the beach at Waikiki or into

your committee also found that it
$ the custom of some of the duck ,
ners to drive their ducks to the beach
ing the Ala Moana road and allow {
IN to feed at low tide. 6
having found upon investigation that !
complaint of the residents along the
t Moana road was justifiable your q
nmittee took UP the question of how t
remedy the same. {
We would recommend that permits

of the Kalia road, only upon con-
on that the owners put their places p
sanitary condition, by cleaning their h
DIS and yards, putting in gates that :.
allow d free flow of water in and
of the ponds and that the number
lucks they be allowed to keep shall ar
exceed one duck to every 100 square to
of land and water.
