its final provisions are inserted a de-

The spread OF the disease has forced
the recognition Of the fact that It may
assume epidemic proportions and must
be handled systematically.
New Garbage system.
The garbage system of the city was
officially turned over to the city health
department by the road department
yesterday and it will be used now to
help fight the disease.
Extra wagons win be put into serv-
ice in the Palama district and city
inspector will commence this after
noon to make "a ,house.to-house round

cleaned out.
Charlie Costa is temporarily in charge
Of the garbage department under the
new system. A direct line telephone

Markets Warned.

would have to live up to the laws Of
cleanliness and the statutes to the very

one thereafter will be arrested and
punished in the district court imme-
diately on the commission of his offense.
The threatened epidemic has spurred
all authorities into action and it is now
to be proven that there are laws on
the books sufficient to clean up the city
and to take all other measures neces.

receives, he said, is making matters
easy and it is in fact, making local

He thinks it would be a mistake to
ask for outside help and that purely
local control of the situation viii be
worth real dollars to the Territory.
