CLOSE UP
THE INSANITARY'
Cemeteries

The Board of Health has declared two
cemeteries and part of third, un-
sanitary, and has prohibited interments
after three months.
At the same time it approved two
cemetery sites, and one of these Will
very likely be an accomplished fact
within the three months.
The Board of Health in the past
eight or ten years has several times
come up to the brink of closing eeme-
teries but never took the final step until
yesterday.
The action was taken on the report
of special committee on cemeteries
consisting of DR.. j. T. Wayson, and NJ.
P. Robinson, who were appointed at the
last meeting. e
The report in its principal parts was
as follows:
Nuuanu Valley Cemetery-Is sani-
tary; it has been enlarged in the rear
and is sufficient for many years.
Makiki Government Cemetery-Is in
most sanitary site. But outside of
private lots, which are vested rights,
is overcrowded. We do not recommend
enlarging or adding new portion and
would close it as TO interments, outside
of the private owners of lots and their
families.
The King Street Catholic cemetery is
sanitary, so far as quality of soil is
concerned on the higher ground portion.
but on the farthest inside portion
sloping down towards Cyclomia park
that was, it becomes too shallow for
graves, quickly reaching water and
therefore we recommend prohibiting
further interments to all that portion
on the inside lower end that will on
excavation meet with water at the reg
ulation depth required, say six feet,
and that said portion be declared un-
sanitary and condemned and closed for
such purpose.
The Catholic Waikiki Cemetery-Is
unsanitary and should be closed for rea-
sons as above cited and existing in the
lower portion of the King street Catho-
lie cemetery near Honolulu (see Ven
huizen' IS report).
The kawaiahao Cemetery-Is sani-
tary. Though evidences prove that this
cemetery has been thoroughly covered
over by bodies buried in the long past,
leaving no visible evidence of the fact;
still on account of the underlying black
sand strata which is found there, even
though they have to come across skele-
tons in digging graves, it remains sani-

matter went over for consideration TO
the meeting. The boy, though the nom

TO be for boys who have been until
now living with their parents at the
Settlement. At the same time, the law
does not limit its scope 10 such, and
the question is whether the board shall
decide 10 enlarge the present scope Of
the home TO admit boys who have
been cared for separately and apart
from their leprous parents

for further consideration. because Il
involves a question of policy, was the

new WATER SUPPLY FOR THE
MOLOKAI LEPER SETTLEMENT

the architect and constructor for the
Marine Hospital Service, suggested
that if the Board of Health would
enter into an agreement to supply the
leprosarium 100000 gallons of water a
day in perpetuity, he would recon-
mend that the Surgeon General au-
thorize the expenditure of the neces-
cary amount of money to extend the
eight-inch pipeline up TO the source of
supply and construct the necessary
works there to collect the water. Be
fore he would make the recommended
ton, however, he asked for an esti-
mate of the cost and an agreement
from the Board of Health for the sup
ply of water. The estimate was made
by Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell and was for s4O5O.
This Mr.. Campbell stated was suffi-
cient for the purpose and the depart
ment would undertake to do the work
for that, provided the money was put
at its disposal so that it's drafts in
payment for work and supplies would
be promptly met.
Blueprint maps of the region have
been made showing the part of the
Settlement where the pipeline is To-
Gated, and of Waikolo Valley, whence
the water will come. With the head
of water which this stream will give. it
is estimated that the eight-inch pipe
will carry more than a million gallons
a day, giving the Settlement a much
larger supply of water than it has ever
had before.
The board agreed to the plans and
directed President Cofer to enter into
the necessary arrangements.

tary and hardly warrants it being
closed TO interments altogether. More
rigid rules for the marking of burial
spots sheuld be enforced by the officials
selling the burial site, requiring ma
terial more lasting than wood for same.
The proposed Waialae cemetery site
owned by Gear, Lansing Co., situated
on the east side of Diamond Head,
comprising forty to fifty acres, is very
suitable for the purpose and we would
pronounce same as being sanitary in
every respect and capable of being
made into veritable beauty spot under
properly organized burial association.
The proposed Kalihi cemetery site
situated on the west side of the valley,
on the Kamehameha " road, will be
above the proposed School street ex-
tension when extended out of town as
far as Kahauiki. Though this site is
outside the two mile limit from the
center of the city. it lacks depth of
soil for digging graves and is situated
within a resident section, which is
against public opinion.
The Kamoiiii site below the church,
represented by W. r. Castle, is about
two and half to three acres. 1t is
strictly intended to be used as burial
ground for the Buddhist sect, of jap
anese. The excavations down to seven
feet show lava scoria intermingled with
larger rock which may require blasting
in some cases. There is no sign of
water to contaminate and in the line
of sanitation nothing can be said
against it, more than a lack of loan
or dirt soil for covering the graves, but
same can be brought on to it if neces-
sary from nearby if required. Some
thing, however, should be provided for
this numerous class of people, more es-
pecially when Makiki is closed to them.
A receiving vault should 5e provided
for this site.
The Board passed resolution adopt
ing the recommendations of the report,
and directing notice to be given that
cemeteries and parts of cemeteries de-
elared insanitary should be closed after
ninety days notice is given.
The cemetery site at Moiliili was
and those who are projecting

the County Commissioners for leave to |
open the cemetery there. The organi-
cation is ready to act and if given
authority by the County Board will
probably open the cemetery very soon. |

A new, abundant and perennial
source of water supply for the Leper
Settlement at Molokai has been Sc
cured, or it is believed has been Sc
cured. by an arrangement with the
United States Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service.
The source of the supply is the Wal
kolo Valley, on the Kalawao side Of
the Settlement. The present supply
comes from this valley. but is from
n series of springs a comparatively
short distance up the valley. But the
proposed source is considerably higher
up and from a stream that leads from
the perennially rain-soaked mountain
mass forming the backbone of the is
land.
To tap this source of supply with
an eight-inch pipe has been a plan for
the Settlement for a long time, and
the pipe was actually bought and
landed at the Settlement. But lack of
funds prevented this accomplishment,
and the whole project would have had
to wait until the next Legislature met
had it not been possible to carry out
the combination with the Marine Hos
pital Service.
The United States Leprosarium
buildings are now reaching compile
ton, and large and constant supply
of water will soon be needed. The
Marine Hospital Service did not care
to extend a pipeline up to the source
on land which it did not own to sup
ply which it did not control. The Ter
ritory could not do it for lack of funds.
In this emergency, Mr.. F. W. Pease,

in their loyalty under whatever boss

JUSTICE
TO kauai
THE GARDEN ISLAND GETTING
ITS SHARE OF PUBLIC I'M
PROVEMENTS THIS PERIOD.

LIHUE, Kauai, May 9.-The wisdom
of the last legislature in segregating
the appropriation for the Public
Works Department into proportionate
sums for the several islands is fast
becoming evident. Hawaii has got
most of it's wharves and landings put
into good condition, Maui is receiving
attention in the same line, and Kauai
will soon feel the effect of the ar
rangement.
When Representative Rice was in
Honolulu attending the Republican
Convention he took time to interview
the Superintendent of Public Works
about some of the needs on Kauai. AS
result work was started on improv-
ing the Waimea wharf This week
he had again occasion to call upon
Mr.. Campbell and got him to agree to
continue the good work. When the
Waimea wharf is completed the force
will move to Nawiliwili to put the
: landing at that place in proper con-
dition. The narrow strip leading out
to the wharf proper will be widened
so as to allow the laying of two
tracks, the roof will be repaired and
derrick installed so that the goods
can be swung right from the boats
on to the cars
The Kappa wharf will also be put
in condition to be used by the pub
| lie.
The Lihue Court House has already
received some attention, in the line
of window panes, gutter, wash stands
and outside paint, but the inside still
presents a rather shabby appearance.
This will be remedied before the next
term of court by a brighter coat of
paint.
There is still money left of the ap-
preparation and Mr.. Rice urged that
it be put into court house for Wal
mea. Mr.. Campbell was willing to
do so, but wanted to change the To-
cation, altho he could not sugges
