REPORTS
ON VARIOUS
NEW ORDINANCES

At the Board OF Health meeting yes.
terday President Pinkham reported on
the plumbing ordinance as follows:
present. by request. for your notice
proposed ordinance Regulating
Plumbing and Plumbers Within the
County of OAHU" now before the
Board of Supervisors OF that County.
Omitting Sections Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 81
and Z, the sections are practically the
same as the Regulations of the Board
CT Health and its present practice.
Such changes as are made in the cor.
responding sections inure to the public
benefit and are now generally observ.
ed.
Possibly Section 22. first sentence,
might be advantageously modified.
Should the ordinance pass there
would appear a nominal, though not a
practical, conflict between the Ordi.
rance and the Regulations until they
were made identical.
Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and I are entire.
~ beyond the powers delegated to the
Board OF Health. Beyond the indispu.
table axiom the greater the skill the
more perfect the work" any opinion
OF the Board, relative to those sec.
tons, would partake OF presumption.
The Board took no action In the mat.
ter.
The Presidents message went on as
follows:
The appearance OF the streets of Ho-
: nolulu is made offensive by paper and
loose rubbish allowed to remain in the
cutters.
You have before you copies of cards
have directed posted in all parts Of
the city, that they may remind the poo
rle to take just a little pains to keep
the sidewalks, CUTTERS and streets in
order. A few moments easy work
each day in front of the premises OF
zach person, especially down town,
would make vast improvement in the
appearance of Honolulu.
A much more hbaral distribution OF
public rubbish containers by the Coun
ly Supervisors would aid greatly in &C
complishing this object.
Similar cards are being printed In
the Chinese language and will be post
ed.
One thousand cards similar to the
yample before you are being printed
and will be posted in all public praces
That people begin to realize the Sc
robustness of careless sexpectoration II
illustrated by the fact we were tele
phoned yesterday to forbid a consump
tive exposing others by his willful care
lessness.
