DISCRIMINATION
IS REPUDIATED
KAP1oLANr ESTATE NOT VICTIM
OF BOARD OF HEALTH
WITHOUT CAUSE.
(From Thursdays Advertlsor.)


Declaring tho direct or inferred
charges Of discrimination against tho
KapiOlani Estate which John F. Col
burn, the manager, has brought against
the board Of health to be utterly ridicu-
lous, the latter body yesterday tabled
the letter in which the charges were
made, and the discrimination 70
mains.
Mr.. Colburn, according to statement
of the matter made to the board by
President Mott-Smith at meeting yes
terday afternoon, had asserted that the
board had acquainted itself with land
titles along Kalihi Bay and had amend
ed tho fishing restrictions in such n way
that all of s. NJ. DIAMONDS property was
excluded from them, while all that Of
the Kapiolani Estate was under ban.
With the use of map, the president
showed the board that the statements
made were without any foundation of
fact, and that all Of the Damon prop
erty on the east side of the Kalihi Chan
mel was included in the restrictions, his
fish ponds there not being used.
Extension Really Needed.
Chairman George R. Carter of the
sanitation commission, who, with sew
eral other members of the commission,
was present, stated that after what they
had witnessed along the shore and in
the sleughterhouse district, which is
drained into Kalihi Bay at this very
point, he thought il would be better to
extend the restrictions to the other side
of the channel, where it originally in.
cluded, as the sewage from Kalihi, as
drained down by the streams and au.
wais, was sufficient, in his estimation, To
pollute the channel itself, as we'll as the
mud fats.
It was decided, however, that as the
powers of the board to impose such re
strictions depended on the existence OF
an epidemic, it would hardly be able tC
| legally renew the more extended
boundaries of the restricted area, bu'
that it was highly desirable, and il
fact almost imperative, that they should
remain as at present.
It now seems probable that anothe
test case viii be directed against tn,
board of health by the Kapiolani EG
tate in order, if possible, to have tn,
courts set aside the restrictions ant
enable the estate to again derive reve
nue. from the ponds along the coast. /
is now the thirty-sixth day since th
last case of cholera, and the restric
tons will probably be continued unit
the sixtieth or eightieth day
Actually Requests"
A verbal request was received iron
Bert Lightfoot asking the permission
of the board for bathing privileges 70
himself and associates in the harboI
1t has not yet been acted upon.
The president explained the worl
that was being done under the new
laws and exhibited the bulky pile o
notes which represented the "sanitar.
code" now in course of preparation, a
it looks at present. He explained tina
he was taking up the question Of tn
slaughterhouses and working out regu
lations for their conduct and location
as the board is empowered to unde
the laws passed by the last Legislature
The features of these viii be regula
J tions (having the effect of law dc
termining the construction and locs
tion of slaughterhouses and abattoiri
} limiting the distance from slaughte
house in which pig pens and simila
things may be established, and demo-
, ing the construction for the pig pen
! themselves. The effect of the neN
, laws, which are not yet complete, Wi
be to place the Honolulu slaughterin
: system on a sanitary basis, somethin
which has never yet been done.
Few other matters were taken NJ
the most important of them being tn
, appointment of Doctor Hobby, Smit
and Kalauokalani as a committee
take up some matters relating to tn
Kalih Receiving Station, the frs
named being chairman.
