out by DR.. Currie to the men who
will have charge of the squads de.
tailed to destroy the mosquito breed
ing places within the limits of the
city. The citizens are urged to act
upon these instructions on their own
initiative, thereby lessening the time
and expense to the public generally in
checking the breeding Of mosquitoes
Attention is particularly called to
the fact that no radical measures
looking to the destruction Of foliage.
vines; etc, except bananas around res
idences, are urged, by DR.. Currie.s in
structions. The rules as put into eff
feet will be strictly adhered to until
the completion Of the work of this
campaign.
Finances. The committee recon.
mends that public funds he used for
the handling of the major portion of
this work and that, if there are not
sufficient funds under appropriation
now available for this work, a special
session of the legislature be called
for the purpose Of appropmatine
moneys to finish the work Of the cam,
paign.
1t WILL however, be necessary in
any event to have a certain sum of
money with which to meet eXpendi-
lures which, for good reasons, cannot
be met by public funds but will, how
ever, be used for expenditures abso-
lutely necessary i'm the carrying out
of the plans.
The committee. acting on the rec
ommendation of Dr. Currie, will insist
that all banana trees around resi-
dences be cut, as they afford breeding
places for the mosquito. The alga.
roba trees also are found to contain
holes and depressions that hold
water and furnish breeding places. 1t
is proposed to fill these holes up with
cement or some other filler which
will be recommended by the Board OF
Forestry.
A. f. Judd stated at the meeting
that he had made tour of the city
this morning and had selected sites
for six of the eight district headquar
ters. These will be at the corner OF
Waalae and Kapahulu roads, Oahu
College, government nursery on King
street, Nuuanu and Bates streets, Ka
mehameha Schools, and one near the
old Mills Institute. Permission to es
tablish headquarters has been OBJ
tanned from those controlling the first
= five locations. Voting booths will be
obtained from the Territorial authori
ties and erected, one at each district
headquarters, and they will be pro
yded with telephones and electric
lights.
Five hundred men will be required
for the work planned and there will
be forty-eight inspectors, one for each
precinct. -,.-' ---

rubbish that will begin to accumulate
as soon as the campaign is started

take care Of this, and Supervisors Nc
Clellan and Kruger will meet this aft

He suggested that at the various ter
mini of the companys lines car
could be placed and the rubbish Nigh
be taken from the central stations
and loaded on the cars.
The city and county will have NOR,
than it can do to dispose of the ref
use, as the incinerator is quite unable
to cope with the disposal of such vas
quantities as WI be gathered. Su
pervisor Mcclellan suggested that thu
wagons might unload it on to barge
to be towed out to sea and dumped.
