ers of water or protecting the water
closet or tank so that the mosquitoes
can not breed therein. They are GER
tainly not nuisances at the time he
Vacates the premises. But on the 9TH
er hand. If you have a regulation which
provides that, in case mosquitoes are
breeding there, then 1t is a nuisance.
upon such an issue you might win out.
Your Section 10 attempts to delegate
the authority of the Board to sub
ordinate officials, including the police
officers of the counties. 1 doubt wheth-
er you can delegate such authority.
Your Section IL provides that all tare
fields found to be breeding places shall
be reported to the Board of Health
by the owners occupiers, or officers
of the Board OF Health or counties.
Such regulation will not make the
owners report any further than they
do at present, and you have statute
already making it the duty of certain
officials to report such matters.
The remaining regulations in regard
to the arvae-eating fish might be TAX
en- by some to be a usurpation of leg
islative functions, although of course,
they are excellent in themselves.

Governor.
THE TERRITORY'S WARDS.
Plans were submitted by the presi-
dent for three small cottages on the
grounds formerly occupied by the Ka-
piolani Girls Home, adjoining the Ka-
lihi Receiving Station. He said there
III
old building to furnish two7thirds of
the necessary material. The Legisla-
ture appropriated $4,000 for this pur-
pose. The object was to provide six
Independent rooms where suspects
could have complete privacy, if they de-
sired, until their condition was fully
determined under the rules of the
Board.
1t was voted that the president be
authorized to proceed with the erection
of the buildings.
: On the advice of Mr.. McVeigh. the
Board denied the application of Lui
Hoolapa to have his eighteen-year-o
daughter sent to the Settlement as his
kokua. She was not needed, the ap-
plicants wife being now his kokua.
Mrs. Kanamu Mokuhau's petition to
have her married daughter, about
forty years of age, as her kokua was
granted. The petitioner had a COM
Portable home of her own at the Set
Element, she was worthy woman and,
being over seventy years of age, not
likely to live much longer.
Mrs. Hawea's petition for kokua
was also granted. as the relative she
wanted was a butcher whose services
were needed.
Mr.. McVeigh, in answer to ques-
tons, said he would forward list of
the kokuas at the Settlement. Many
of them were useless, but could not be
allowed to starve. I'VE can not get
rid of them" the superintendent said.
THE Lunalilo Home won't take them.
Some have been at the Settlement sor
twenty or twenty-five years. What can
we dc with them?"
The Kalaupapa Fishing Co. was al
lowed on motion to establish bakery
at the Settlement Mr.. McVeigh said
there We're three bakeries there already.
yet he did not see how the application
should be refused. Many of the peo-
pie required soft bread rations. The
new bakery would keep it's owners
working. 1t would mean a survival
q cheaper
bread.
President Pinkham reported that the
Sisters at the Kapiolani Girls Home
had, almost entirely by their own eff
forts and their common employees, en-
larged the accommodations of the
Home and We're now prepared to re-
ceive all the girl children at the Set
Element. He had directed DIR. Goodhue
,fta.,
dren, and that all found clean be sent
to Honolulu within sixty days. "This
course will strain the resources of the
Home" the presidents message read
for the appropriation granted by the
Legislature never contemplated the
number of children that must be sup
ported.
THE Boys Home should have our
attention at the earliest possible mo-
ment. We are obliged to delay a few
months, as the appropriation will moi
carry through the fiscal period"
