Inter-Island VIII Help.
w. o. Smith, who had been asked to
become a committee of one to confer
with federal medical officials and
steamship agencies regarding the ad-
visibility of screening interisland and
transoceanic vessels, reported that he
had consulted Doctors Ramus and Mar
shall of the federal service and that
they had expressed the opinion that it
was not necessary unless other cases
appeared. He also said that there was
some doubt as to whether the inter-
iland vessels would carry mosquitoes
from other ports to Honolulu "a state
ment which Doctor Blue agreed with)
and described the difficulties found in
the way of the screening Of PORTFOLIOS
on the smaller vessels
He stated, however, that an order
had been issued Friday by the Inter
Island Steam Navigation Companies Of
ficials to empty all the fire buckets and
fill them with salt water instead Of
fresh. Attention was called previously
to the vast amount of wrigglers bred
in these buckets, usually emptied only
seven or eight times year, and the
committee expressed its appreciation
of the company's action.
Ready for Payday.
At Fridays meeting Treasurer Peck
announced a plan of paying off the
laborers, which, as it is done with gov

again and sent TO the auditor. The
latter official will draw a warrant for
the amounts, which win be turned over
TO Kirk b. Porter, government disburs-
