as well.

PINKHAM'S REPORT.
President Pinlsham's S report to the
Board was follows:
To the Members of the Board of
Health:
Quite number of complaints have
been made to your officers concerning
the offensveness of the swill wagons
on the streets of Honolulu at all times
of day.
We have been strict in enforcing the
use of tightly covered containers, but
of course the cans used to collect the
swill retain disagreeable odor.
1t has been suggested no swill carts
be allowed on the streets after $3.50 or
o'clock a. m. l am of the opinion
the people will object to I've awakened
very early in the morning by swill
gatherers.
The Board has no power to regulate
the hours, but 1 am inclined to believe
should suggest to the Board of Super
visors the proprety of limiting swill
gathering to between the hours of Z
O'Clock in the evening until $3.50 in the
forenoon and that the carts must be
off the streets by o'clock in the fore
noon.
r. w. Filler. Esq, has resigned from
the Board of Trustees of Malulani Hos
plNdi. MI. w III. INOUlllsOT OIL w Wdl-
luku has been the only person brought
to my attention for the vacancy and
have written him inquiring IL he would
accept the appointment subject to
your confirmation.
The main object of this meeting is to
secure action of the Board relative to
the granting of permits to enter the
Settlement to the Legislature, officials
tA1 90
My understanding was that each
was to have the privilege of
taking two guests with him, that he
was to keep them in charge and for
them and their conduct was to be per-
sonally responsible. This is the rep
I made to members of the
Board individually.
1 understand the plans have been
and have invited the chair
men of the Senate and House COM
mittees on health to meet you and
definitely decide upon the plans.
The people of the Settlement doubt
the wisdom of crowd going to that
place as the superintendent's letter
shows.
If the contemplated number goes it
will exceed the number who landed
there two years ago.
The weather indications are not
favorable and a north wind would
cause such a tremendous surf we could
not land, or If we did, might prevent
our return to the steamer.
In such an event we have no means
of sheltering, lodging or feeding such
a crowd.
We expected the new visitors house
do f-tf
these, so we have now but n small
corral attached to that house, which
house accommodates twelve persons.
We desire to please the members of
the Legislature, but the fact is the
place never was intended for crowd
and cannot accommodate them IL any
thing goes wrong. / leave the matter
In your hands.
