licensed. President Pinkham was will
ing, provided each of them met the
Board 5 stipulations. DR.. Wayson sug-
gested a proviao for placing the whole
business in the hands of one of them
in case the other failed TO comply with
the conditions, and he made motion
covering his views, which was second
ed and carried as follows:
"'That permission be granted to The
odore Richards and Y. Amin to estab-
lish sanitary laundries as per their,
request of -, with the understand
ing that if either party fail in car
rying out the provisions the other par
ty will see that their place is enlarged
so that the whole number of laundry
men may be accommodated"
PLAN THAT FAILED.
Mr.. Pinkham in his message gave
the following bit of government wash
house history:
"'For two years the necessity OF
some solution of the public washhouse
problem has been obvious.
1.-THE Legislature of 1905 appropri-
ated in the Loan Bill $4,000 Tor new
washhouses and the president of the
Board had complete plans made and
placed before the Department of Pub
lie Works, suggesting that the laundry
men put in steam laundry washing and
drying machines, pooling the washing
part of their business. With super
heated steam distinction no more sani-
tary method could be employed. We
are able to conduct a steam laundry on
Molokai on this basis and there is no
reason why it could not be done here.
1t was too deep proposition for the
Chinese laundrymen, and the admins
tration dropped the matter.
"The Iwilei laundries are now legal
! " closed, though running temporarily
until the laundrymen can locate them
selves.''
OTHER BUSINESS.
The Board adopted regulations for
barber shops. submitted by the presi-
dent under the law of 1907. These are
given elsewhere.
"Plans have been made and the con-
struction will be at once begun of a
new building at the Insane Asylum for
forty PATIENTS the president reported.
''This we design to relieve the old
administration building SO it can be
filed up as an inirmary for the de-
| tention under the sheriff 3 orders of
persons suffering from known temper
airy alteration or effects of liquor or
drugs. for observation and treatment
pending legal determination of their
sanity.
''The annual report of the president
| of the Board of Health for the year
ending June 80, 1907, has been com
pleted and transmitted to the Governor
of the Territory 1t carefully covers
the period I understand all reports
will in the future conform to the Off
cia1 period of the United States Gov,
erRment.'
Presenting DR.. Baldwin, successor to
DR.. Judd as a member, the president
said DR.. Judd certainly had more thar
his share of gratuitous public duties
and in tightening them stated that he
enjoyed his duties with the Board ant
did not wish to avoia public service
but his time was unduly so occupied
''I am sure,' he concluded, eve have
esteemed it privilege to have DR.
Judd with US and tender him sucl
sentiments.
81 herewith present a letter of with
drawaI from DR.. w. G. Rogers, who
has so kindly given his services at thu
Dispensary to the indigents needing
his skill as specialist in diseases OF
: the eye and ear. The appreciatlv'
thanks of the Board are due him. =
The unanimous adoption of the mes
sage ratified the conveyance of thanks
to the physicians named.
