Owing to the intended departure of
the president for Kauai today, a meet
ing of the Board of Health was held
yesterday afternoon, at which good
deal of business was transacted
With w. L. Pinkham. president, the
meeting was constituted by DR.. c. B.
Cooper. F. c. Smith, NJ P. Robin
son, John c. Lane, and Assistant At
terney General w. S. Fleming. There
were in attendance DR.. J. S. B. Pratt,
city sanitary officer; ]. d. Mcveigh. su-
zperintendent OF Leper Settlement and
Miss Lemon, clerk.
ANIMAL INSPECTION.
Rules and regulation for the inspec-
ton of animals were read and, after
long conversational discussion, adopt
ed on motion of DR.. Cooper with an
amendment making the scale Of inspec-
ton fees the same as the Penal Code
fixes, viz:
There shall be collected from the
owner OF. consignee of animals inspect-
ed under this Act, one dollar per head
for all horses, mules and cattle; fifty
cents per head for all sheep and goats;
ten cents each for every other animal
or bird and, when from the nature of
the case the making of such inspection
shall be unusually onerous or severe,
twenty-five per cent. additional shall
be paid to the Inspector"
Mr. Fleming had advised that, pro-
viding the old law was still in force,
the. draft submitted was all right. 1t
appears that the lately reported resist
ance of importers of livestock to pay
ment of inspection fees was based on
the theory that the old law was void.
THE SETTLEMENT.
Petitions of L. Maeoholani, Holoka-
hike and j. K. Mia to be allowed ko-
kuas were denied for reasons given by
Mr. McVeigh.
All Fat and Chong Yee's petition for
a permit to conduct a soda water stand
at the Settlement was granted.
Mr. McVeigh made a statement show
ing the necessity of having the corps of
Sisters of Charity in charge OF the
Bishop Home reinforced. The Mother
Superior being over 20 years of age was
too infirm for the work she had been
doing and the Sisters assisting her
were overworked. They ought to be
allowed two more sisters.
On motion of DIR. Cooper it was voted
that the president confer with the
Bishop of Zeugma on the subject.
An immediate difficulty in the case
is the lack of funds to pay the passage
of the Sisters from Syracuse, n. Y.
A letter from Mr.. McVeigh with re-
gard to Japanese fishermen catching
fish off the Settlement shore was read
and referred to the Attorney General
for an opinion as to the Boards pow
ers in the matter. The letter caused
a laugh in its statement that the fish
ermen stood off too far to sea to be
reached with rife shot.
