:. A report was received from Attorney
General Andrews on the question of the
Boards power to deal with overcrowd-
ed burial places. Andrews quoted the
law giving the Board of Health author
ity to make regulations for the inter-
ment of the dead, and respecting ceme-
teries and burying grounds" and con-
cluded with this advice:
Under these sections 1 believe that
the passage of a resolution covering
this question could be enforced in a
court of law and it is the duty of the
Board to Immediately take such action
as will prevent the further conduct of
cemeteries in a manner deleterious to
the public health"
Regarding a letter from Clerk D.
Porter, of the Fourth Circuit Court,
Hilo, in which the writer said he was
shipping, in care of PuTser Beckley of
the steamer Kinau, twenty tins of
opium seized in course of justice, the
Attorney General made a report, say
ing;
Ordinarily such opium would be used
as evidence in the case, but 1 presume
it is no longer needed from the fact
that it is forwarded to the Board of
Health. If the same is intended for
present, I see no objection to the Board
of Health taking the same and using
it, if necessary, in the Government dis
pensarles, otherwise know of no way
in which such property could legally
come into the hands of the Board of
Health"
The Board decided to take steps for
securing possession of the opium.
