NO SUCCESSOR YET
CHOSEN TO WILLFONG

Nathan C. Willfong's resignation as
tax assessor Of the county of Hawaii
was received yesterday. Treasurer
Conkling's last official act before
boarding the Wilhelmina for San Fran
cisco was to take the letter Of resigna-
ton to Governor Frear.
Mr.. willfong will give up his Office
on June 80. He win BIO ready by that
time to turn over the affairs of his
Office to his successor. He has informed
the government that he will be glad to
assist that successor in every way he
can in getting "Onto the ropes.
Governor Frear paid tribute to Mr.,
WillfOng yesterday when he said he
has been in the service of the Terri
tory a great many years and has been
very faithful officer.
Asked if he knew the reason, or rea-
sons, why Mr.. Willfong had resigned
the Governor said that the letter did
not state any.
A number Of applications for the
position have been received, and many
names have been suggested to the ex-
eeutive for the Office.

make the appointment, but we would
like to make II as soon as possible,

more pimples would appear and spread
all over the body leaving the baby all
raw without skin from head to foot.
On top Of her head there appeared q
heavy Bcab quarter OF an inch thick. It
was awful TO see SO small a baby look as
she did. Imagined The doctor was afraid
TO put his hands to the child. We tried
several doctors remedies but all failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment We
softened the Bcab and It came on Under
this, where the real matter was, by
washing with the Cuticura Soap and
applying the Cutioura Ointment, q new
skin soon appeared. We also gave baby
four drops OF the Cuticura Resolvent
three times daily. After three days you
could see the body gaining little skin
which would peel of and heal under
meath. Now the baby is four months
old. Sho is a fine picture Of a Fat little

NoB1Na AFTER THAT
BUILDING LAW.
tFrom Wednesdays Advorillor.l

AhtQM wednesday a AuNcftlNohl
Again taking up lie inspection tour
yesterday at the usual hour Of foar
o clock, the sanitation committee cen.
tinued tie explorations in Kewalo,
cdging towards the equally serious
problems presented at Waikiki. Drain.
age, owing TO the character Of the
country which the commission has
selected as the first field for it's opera
tions, became the subject Of the day,
but not so entirely that the other fea-
lures of sanitation did not come in for
their due share OF consideration.
CATER two days of inspection, T"
said Chairman George r. Carter, as the
big auto which is carrying the commits
sion around was headed towards town,
"the commission is struck with the
folly of permitting time to go on with
out building law. In these two days
trips we have seen numbers of houses
being built improperly and in improper
places where they viii surely be con
demned by the commission as being
unfit to live in, but Mr.. Mott-Smitn
has lust told me that there is nothing
at all to prevent this, or to regulate it
or to stop it.
"They should pass law at once.
understand that the county agreed 10
remedy this defect, which appears to
have been caused primarily by the leg
islature repeating the old laws on this
stipulation. They don t have TO wait
for any fine.drawn-out measure, or
minute ordinance. 1t win all have to
be tested out in court and amended
and reamended, anyway. Why don Z
they pass general law laying down
broad principles and then add on the
other details bit by biti 1t is prob
able that if this was done this commits
sion would make recommendations for
changes or additions when it makes its
report, but by all means let us have
the law at once-any old law"
This opinion is expressed after what
has been seen in the districts the least
progressive as far as building goes and
when the tour of the commission is ex-
tended into Honolulu IS center, Palama,
Kalihi and lower NIuanu.
Inspect Swampp.
Commencing yesterday at the Ke.
walo pond at the foot of Piikoi street
and the Kewalo spring, the commission
progressed down Sheridan street
through the salt marshes and made a
cursory trip through Waikiki, prinei
pally for the purpose of inspecting the
mouths of the delta of the Manoa
stream.
Until the trip over the route taken
| by the commission is made with the
same attention paid to the surrounding
country, no adequate idea of the amount
of low and water.covered land is t.
be gained. The only high places seen
to be the roads and even in Waikiki
Kalakaua avenue is the only "higl
spot" for mile through acres upoI
acres of land flooded with artesiaI
water and mountain streams, as well al
salt marshes and brackish lagoons Ii
every one of these, President Mott
Smith of the board of health, who AGAR
piloted the party, pointed out the littl'
ltop-minnows, valiant antagonists of tn,
mosquito larvae. Personal inspection
has made him familiar with all of thi
country and it goes hard with the in
spector on whose route he finds waite
without fish. Even the trickling rill
