Such are. the mosquito regulations
again approved by the Board of Health,
on the president g resubmission thereof
yesterday, which require only the sig
nature in approval of the Governor to
become the law of the land. AS Cover
nor Carter has already written a letter
renewing his approval of the regula
tions, they will probably be given force
and effect by him forthwith.
VISIT TO SETTLEMENT.
Most of the president s business mes
sage to the Board consisted of a report
on his recent visit of ten days within
the confines of the settlement at Kalau-
papa. In opening remarks he wrote:
The spirit of contentment and good
will that pervades the settlement is
very gratifying.
tsIn going about freely among the
people, giving them every opportunity
to present any complaints, not one was
brought to my attention.
"At the Bishop Home very excellent
and entertaining exercises were held,
of music, singing and drills.
The girls and young ladies performed a
and flag drill that would have
gained generous applause anywhere for
good amateur work. To the devoted
Sisters and girls our appreciation is due.
'The two bands are playing well and
the different sports are well patronized.
"That there are many ways in which |
the surroundings, comforts and privi-
eges of these people may be enlarged
and improved at little expense is ap- |
1arent''
There were opportunities, the presi-
lent said, to increase happiness among
hose segregated ones without the least |
or extravaganza. The Board
las worked toward that end in the past
md is now making unusual efforts. -
IMPROVEMENTS
President Pinkham spoke in high ap-
,reciation of the new dispensary ap-
,roaching completion. 1t has ample
rug, store and laboratory rooms, also
N operating room with concrete floor,
nd the building has ''some architec-
ural pretense.'' Funds are available
or its modern equipment.
1t is necessary to establish hospital
+ sixteen beds and segregated build
10 for ward of four beds for acutely
diseases.
An ambulance is needed and under
,
Lumber is on hand and paid for, to {
rect two new dormitories at the Bishop
ome.
1t was expected to put in a wood
aving plant, which would be an ines
mable relief to many.
A small ice plant is also advocated,
it'll power from the water mains.
At present the water supply at the
9ttlement is inadequate, but IN the
oan Act is an appropriation to remedy
is lack. For the purpose Of informing
e Board and the Public Works Depart
ent as to conditions, the president
sited Waikolu Valley, where four or ;,
re million gallons of water are daily
nnino TO sea. He recommends an in
Ike at a point above the taro beds, to
-oid taking water in which human be-
gs have labored.
