WOULD DELIVER
FISH IN CARTS
New Japanese Company Asks
Privilege From Board
of Health.

A. L. c. Atkinson, attorney for the
Hawaiian Fisheries, Ltd, in a letter to
the Board of Health yesterday. asked
that his company be given the privilege
of delivering fish by carts to the homes
of the city. He stated that the fish
carts would be patterned after the best
meat delivery wagons in use by the
Metropolitan Meat Company, and that
the delivery of the fish would be sani-
tary. The present plan of the COM
pany is to deliver two hours in the
morning and two hours in the after
noon.
All fish that have been on ice are
so marked by the Inspector of the
Board of Health. Fred C. Smith thought
that the proposition was not bad at
all, just so long as stringent rules were
kept in force to compel the distribu-
ton to be sanitary. DR.. Wayson, how
ever, did not look on the request of
the japanese fishery company with
much favor, saying that in case the
privilege was granted in this one case,
all the firms of Honolulu would seek
the same, and trouble would be bound
to follow. He was afraid thu the fish
peddlers would get Independent in the
outskirts of the city, distributing fish
without the sanction of the board. Sec
rotary Charlock said, however, that
these men could be brought to time
under the old cholera regulation APP
proved by the Governor
The matter was finally carried to the
committee on lewiston of rules and regu-
lations, with good chances for the grant
ing of the request. President Robinson
remarked that the new company had
given up its first idea of having the
central market out on Sheridan street,
and had now decided to locate on King
street, near the present fshmarket.
Waldron Sends Clipping.
A letter was received from Fred L.
Waldron, inclosing clipping from a
paper in Portland, Oregon, which told
of the great medical meeting and CON
ference in that city The paper stated
that efforts would be made to have all
oH-coast vessels put in quarantine be
fore entering a harbor, this being done
to prevent possibility of cholera com
ing into the mainland The letter was
placed on file and the secretary in
structed to write thank you to Mr.
Waldron.
Kalihi Home Completed.
President Robinson reported offic ALLY
to the board the completion of the
Kalihi Manual School, as it has been
named by the authorities. This is the
home for the non-leprous boys who were
brought over from Molokai some time
ago. Mrs. johnson has been appointed
matron of the new institution, and her
appointment was approved and confirm
ed by the Board of Health yesterday
Will Members Hold Over?
Acting Governor Mott-Smith has re-
appointed Senator Kalauokalani as a
member of the Board of Health, the
appointment going into effect the other
day. The question was brought up for a
moment yesterday afternoon as to who
would constitute the new board, if the
Governor chose to make change in the
personnel As matter of fact. how
ever, Governor Frear stated just before
leaving for Washington the last time
that he would make no change whatso-
ever in the Board of Health unless
something unforeseen and unknown at
that time arose.
