Work Of Organization.
Each of the above gentlemen was
| interviewed personally by me and In
a general way. the idea of the day
was discussed. Each luna went
through his district and had the post
ers distributed which the central
committee had provided. After this
| personal inspection had been made,
| eight Oi the lunas met together one
evening and thoroughly discussed the
| program for the day. Written suG-
| gcstions To each luna, which had
been prepared, were thoroughly dis
cussCd: copy of these instructions
Is appended to this report, Present
at that meeting were also Inspectors
Durao and Hurley of the Board of
Health, who gave valuable advice.
Roth of these gentlemen assisted IN
District IA. during cleanup day and
the day previous. Each luna has
filed with me kis report in writing,
all Of which are appended to this re-
port. II is my suggestion that YOU
Immediately transmit these reports
10 the president of the Board Of
Health. They contain a great deal
OF detailed observations which IL
used at once undoubtedly will be of
| service to the Board of Health In
checking up the work of the regular
| inspectors.
Days Work.
Headquarters for the district were
on Judd Street and were efficiently
presided over by Alfred G. Young
MS clerk. Joshua u. Pratt was u
great assistance during the day as
| messenger, driving his own auto.
Through the courtesy of the Estate
| of S. G.. Wider Limited, vacant
lot on Kuakini Street was used as n
| temporary dumping ground, the rub
bish on which has already been clear
ed of by the authorities.
Through Misunderstanding which
need not he detailed here, the Wagons
assigned to this district did not APP
| pear on time, and II was not until
$40 that the first load of rubbish
| began to move. Nine carts of various
capacities were In use during the day.
! Exact record of the number of loads
hauled during the day was not kept.
| believe more than one hundred
loads were handled Twelve labor
ers, also provided by headquarters,
were employed; six of these all day
in emptyinG the carts AT the dump
and the other six In cleaning prem
iscs along Waikahalulu Lane and on
School Street.
Ideas Brought Out.
It may be well TO summarize in
, this report the ideas brought out In
! the discussions which have taken
\ place between the lunas above
named. We have ondcavorcd to find
! out what should be done to make
District "A a better place. to live in.
% Drainage. The auwais along
Liiiha Street are disgrace to the
city. They are today nothing but
open sewers. Many perennial springs
exist in this district, the largest of
which is Kunawai Spring These
supply drinking water and washing
, rlaces although the pollution of the
! springs by surface water Is beyond
question.
90 Sewerage. Except in few
Places in the district no more I'M
/ suitable conditions for the disposal
of sewerage by cesspoos can be
imagined. A stratum of volcanic
rock in many places Is near the sur
face and almost all the soil Is the
! taro-patch mud known by the Ha-
waiians as palolO. There Is little
seepage through this clay The pub
lie sewer on Nuuanu Street stops
| at Bates Street, On l.iliha Street
there Is no sewer above Judd Street
