Dead Rats on Mail STAGES.

1--WE discovered one peculiar thing
out of the ordinary in Hilo, that every
mail stage leaving Hilo takes its rat
boxes the same as mail These are
distributed at every plantation Or
town. Each returning mail brings it's
locked rat boxes with dead rats in
them to Hilo to be examined by the
board of health to see if any district
has bubonic infection; if so, it is soon
quarantined. One very obnoxious fea-
ture about the system is that you can
smell the dead rats for a block away
as the mail wagon or stage passes by.
The same thing occurs in Honolulu,
where they had bubonic plague in
1900.
Sanitary conditions are very poor
in Honolulu at the present time. Taro
patches have overlooking cesspools
in them. Creeks run through the
town almost dry, with dead dogs and
cats in them. The Chinese gardeners
wash their vegetables in the same
waters and the vegetables are eaten
raw by the populace. Many diseased
dogs and cats roam the streets at
will, with raw sores on them that are
repulsive to the eye and dangerous
to come in contact with. At present
the most popular bathing resort is
closed to the public on account of
the cholera in that vicinity.
From the number of doctors shin
giles hanging out along the streets it

INFRINGEMENT Will BE
ADMINISTRATION POLICY

Economy in administration and a
conservative retrenchment of public
expenditures will be the watchword of
the incoming administration" stated
Or, w. II. Dodge, the new mayor of
the city this morning. THE report of
the treasurer submitted at the council
meeting this week showed a very small
balance remaining on hand. and there
Is no prospect Of any important inn
rovements being undertaken this
year. much as some things might be
desired There are number of
L Egs that the city needs but in con-
slleration Of the existing business
situation, they will have to be deferred
until times are more favorable. The
taY2ayers of the city. many of whom
are paying instruments on their small
properties. are bearing a heavy burden

The subject OF having a thorough,
cIsanins- up or the city streets, alleys
ana premises is one OF the matters
that Mayor Dodge is considering. and
he expects to make a recommendation
touching upon this question at an ear
~ session of the council. 1t is not un-
likely says DR. Dodge that a general
cleanup day. such as is observed in
many cities and towns throughout the
country. may be suggested, the citi-
zens being requested to gather up the
refuse that has accumulated during the
winter and place conveniently for re-
moval, ready to be carted away. the
city teams probably performing the
latter service.
Among the work to be carried out
that is absolutely NECESSARY and for
which steps have already been taken
is the repairing of the Quincy street
pavement which is in terrible shape.
The installing of sanitary sewering
in all the unsewered portions of the
CITY, for which plans have been pre-
pared by the city engineer, it is ex-
pected will have to wait, as the i'm
provement would involve a very great
expenditure. approximating a hundred
thousand dollars or so in its entirety.
The East Hancock paving, which has
been agitated for the past two years.
probably will be cared for by the resi-
dents of that section. each property
owner laying curb and gutter adj
1acent to his own property and having
a macadamized roadway built similar
To that placed on Center street last
year. This roadway was built by city
employees by means of the gasoline
road roller and roadbuilding by this
method probably will be the extent of
any improvements undertaken this
season.

COMMISSIONER DfFENDS The
JAMES INSURANCE Bill

State Insurance Commissioner c. a.
Palmer has been forced TO take cog
airanoe OF the reports circulated
through Michigan by so-called wild
sat companies" indicating that the
James dill prohibiting any but author
irea companies from doing business
in Michigan. is designed TO create a
little insurance trusr. Members OF the
Legislature have received circular let
tiers asserting that the bill will create
la monopoly Of insurance business for
Ia small ring Of companies and will
increase the rates some ten per cent.
These statements also have been sent
broadcast over the state to the news
papers in an effort TO put the measure
in a false light before the people. Re-
ferring to these reports and TO the
bill. the insurance commissioner says:
The James bill is not in the inter-
ests Of a fire insurance trust. II will
not affect the rates. II merely will
force companies doing business in
Michigan TO pay their taxes, secure
certificates and thereby submit to the
scrutiny of this department on the
question Of their financial stability.
Unauthorized companies cannot be
sued i'm Michigan. Principal opposi-
ton to this bill comes from certain
mutual companies transacting an UNI
authorized business in Michigan.
These companies do a factory bust
ness only. Since the requirements for
the authorization of mutual compan-
les i'm Michigan are not at all burden
some, these readily could be admitted,
If they would make applications"
The bill i'm question already has
passed the senate. The enemies of
the measure are concentrating on the
house in the hope Of defeating it in
that body.
