The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-05-05

MAY 8, 1904
Having found upon investigation
that the complaint of the residents
along the Ala Moana road was just-
fable your committe took up the ques-
tion of how to remedy the same.
I'VE would recommend that permits
to keep ducks he issued to those having
duck ranches mauka of the Waikiki
road, also makai of that road and wal
kilii of the Kalia road, only upon con-
dition that the owners put their places
i'm sanitary condition, by cleaning their
ponds and yards, putting in gates that
will allow a free flow of water in and
out of the ponds and that the number
Of ducks they be allowed to keep shall
not exceed one duck to every 100 square
feet of land and water.
"They would further recommend that
the lagoon mauka of the Ala Moana
road and Eva of the Piinao stream
be condemned as nuisance and
danger to the public health and the
parties owning or leasing the same be
ordered to either fill it up or drain it.
Further, that no permit to keep ducks
be granted to All Chew and Lee Sue
and that they be given 80 days in which
to dispose of their ducks.
your committee, while investigat ting
the conditions at Waikiki and Kalia,
had their attention called to a number
of duck ponds off Sheridan street and
an examination was made of these.
All of these ponds were found to be in
a very insanitary condition and your
committee would strongly recommend
that the same be condemned and that
the parties raising ducks in these ponds
be given 80 days in which to dispose of
the same.
They would also recommend that the
parties who have been in the habit of
feeding their ducks along the Ala Mo-
ana beach be notified to discontinue
the same. Respectfully submitted
JOHN c. LANE,
Chairman.
"W. H. MAYS.
President Pinkham gave the follow
ing statement to the Board:
1.-The Executive, by and with the
advice of the heads of the departments
owing to the even more stringent con-
dition of the Territorial finances than
anticipated, has directed the economies
enacted by the recent Legislature to
be put in force at once, dating from
May 1st
THE Government physicians have
been notified and all salaried en-
ployees, except the sanitary inspectors
and few instances, where a few days
more will be required to determine the
best course.
1.-THE reduction in numbers of the
sanitary inspectors leads to a delicate
situation. Owing to the depressed state
of affairs it is a hardship on any indi-
vidual to lose his position. After much
reflection l have concluded to recon-
mend the Board to retain the eight
sanitary inspectors in the order of their
seniority of appointment as disclosed by
the records.
1T is necessary to invite you to dis
cuss the duties of the Food Commits
sioner and Milk Inspector.
I'm the matter of inspectors for the
markets of the Inter-Island Live Fish
and Cold Storage co. l recommend that
although the inspector must be private
ly paid, he be appointed by the Board
and his salary be collected and paid
through the Board. l also recommend
this course be taken with all inspect
ors privately paid.
1T appears that during the month of
April there were three hundred and six
ty--siX 1866 cases treated at the Dis
pensary and siXty-two 1927 outside
calls. No further proof is required as
to the necessity for this work
1T is estimated 1925 a month will be
required for the carrying on of this
work until July LIST, 1905. 1t would
seem to me an appeal for voluntary
for this fund by public
notice signed by the physicians tender
ing their free services would be the
proper procedure to secure the funds.
1T would seem the newspapers would
give the notice prominence and con-
tinue it for a time and receive cOntribu-
tons for this object
