Who Drank the Beer7
Doctor ClarlI's letter had only lust
arrived, and was brought in to be read
TO the meeting. Doctor Clark suggested
that matters should be run along SINH
lar lines to the suggestions put forward
by Mr.. Mott-Smith. In the middle of
the letter he electrified the board by
suggesting that provisioners should be
warned against supplying the guards
with beer, as the board of immigration
would not pay for any booze.
Doctor Pratt was asked who had
rance and sent for one of his inspectors
who also knew nothing of the matter.
"This is serious allegation to make
without any substitution, said the
president, "and 1 shall tell Doctor
Clark SO in my reply"
The Appropriations.
The president then detailed what
had been done in regard to the appro-
priations, and said that, taking matters
right through, they had not Jared so
badly. They had been granted $50 900
for filing in swamps, but he had asked
for an additional 100000, as they
would need all of that sum to make a
proper start. He had also asked for
$250,0OO for sewerage,
In the matter of the proposed $75 900
for the garbage department, it had been
pointed out that the outside members
of the house might not feel inclined to
appropriate money to be spent on Homo
lulu. On the other hand, they must
take into consideration that it was not
for cleansing Honolulu, but for bring
ing up to date the shipping port of the
Territory.

Hawaiian householders living there and
some fifty Russians These were pay

three of them were paid in advance; all
the rest were behind. The Hawaiian
Trust Company, which looked after the
estate, was willing to serve notices on
all. The houses were being disinfected,
and all of the people were now out of
the place.
In reply to question from one of
the members, Pratt said that there were
absolutely no sanitary arrangements
whatever.

At half-past one O'Clock this after
noon the members of the board of
health and also members of the santa
tion and health committee of the city

they will then enforce the new nui-
sances act, that has just been made
law. Several owners have been mott
fed, but up to the present have taken
no notice of the warnings whatsoever.
Several arrests are expected to be made
and prosecutions will follow.
Mcclellan on Poi.
Mcclellan asked the cooperation of
the board in regard to the regulation
of the poi shops. There had been a
mixup with these, he told the president.
Doctor Mackall had told the Cinnamon
to put up one,foot walls. They had
then told them to put up three-foot
walls, and then Mr.. Blanchard had
come along and told them to put up
two-foot walls. Naturally the China
men We're muddled, and he wanted the
board to work along with them and
have the thing cleared up.
The president in replying, told him
that the board would work along the
lines of the ordinance passed by the
board of supervisors, and suggested q
conference between them this morning
at half-past nine O'Clock, Mcclellan
was agreeable to this, and the matter
