MOSQUITO REGULATIONS.
ing in bad sanitary condition.

Without much being said IL was EVIL
dent that the members of the Board of
Health were considerably disappointed
with the Governors letter disappearing
the mosquito rules and regulations,
when 1t was read at this meeting.
President Pinkham said that some of
the regulations were taken from New
Jersey and others from California. A
copy of the New Jersey rules was Dor
rowed from Mr.. Van Dine and copy
of the California rules from someone
in Hilo. and both having been return
ed he could not show them now for
comparison with the rules turned down
by the Governor. He remarked that
the mosquito question was considered
very important by DR.. Cofer and other
U. S. quarantine officers.
Mr.. Smith suggested that the mat
ter be left with the president to see If
he could not ascertain from the Gov
ernor what regulations might be
adopted.
DR.. Wayson, after some general re-
marks around the table. said the opin-
ion Of the members of the Board SEEM
ed to be that the regulations were all
right.
IF we are going into this thing at
all we may as well do it thoroughly"
Mr.. Smith said and, a little later,
moved that the matter be deferred one
week. the president in the meantime TO
see the Governor. This was seconded
by Mr.. Fernandez and carried.
Governor Carter's letter, thus dealt
with. was as follows:
THE GOVERNORS LETTER.
Executive Chamber.
Honolulu, Hawaii, Oct. %, 1905
l.. f. Pinkham, Esq, President, Board
of Health, Territory of Hawaii.
Dear Sir: Permit me to acknowl-
edge your No. 1925, October 20. l
herewith return the two copies of rules
and regulations under the title of
Mosquito Prevention and Extermina-
tion," without my approval, for the
following reasons:
In the first place, while Section 991
of the Revised Laws authorize your
Board to make regulations respecting
nuisances, causes of filth and causes
, of sickness, and there are further pro-
visions which require them to be pub
lished and provide penalty for theiI
violation, yet should this authority be
7
these rules?
1t would appear to me that If you
desire to make the regulations of the
! Board of Health respected and obeyed
they should only refer to those things
that are of grave Importance and
which, in a measure, public sentiment
would assist; in other words, l mean
those that can be practically enforced
ATAs 30 fl,A 1.t l.,
this paper might prove very service
| able printed on cards and distributed
the public being requested to comply
with them in order to do away with
the mosquitoes. But if they are made
part of your Rules and Regulations
and there is no way of enforcing them
would they not then cause loss OF
respect for the Board?
On the other hand, an expression OF
the Board of Health's opinion by a
! regulation which provides that all
| ponds and pools of water. tanks. re-
ceptacles, vases, cans, or anything
capable Of holding water. or other
places in which mosquitoes are breed
ing are causes of sickness and, there
fore, declared nuisances would be to
my mind a better course to follow.
! l do not see how you are going tC
invoke the authority of law you have
against n person if he vacates a prem.
