itary condition; tin cans and bottles
plentiful; i'm many cases filled with
water, stale; requests given to re-
move and pile containers; immediate
removal necessary; the Oriental gar.
deners save the manure from their
premises, particularly from pig pens,
keep it in cans and use for fertilizer
directly on plants (vegetablesD; in
one noticed case this manure vas
stored close to dwelling house, so as
! to be handy; there being no water
( pipes in many places, water is hauled
from nearest tap and stored in open
/ barrels; breeding places for the mos
uuitoes; sanitary conditions OK

Elements; the residents throw gar
bage and rubbish into an open hole
which is exposed to wet and weather
this is a bad place and should be
attended to at once, as the Orientals
refuse to do anything, and will not

! pressed hard; near Leahi avenue on
! Seventh, there are lots of cans and
rubbish, especially near the Chinese
store; near the Portuguese school on
Leahi avenue, near Sixth, standing
water is on premises of Spanish Joe
| GU; this needs prompt attention;
| Bellina's ranch, lower part of the val
| ley, is a place that needs immediate
and thorough attention; is in bad
shape; duck ponds and swamp land
in rear of premises; place ideal for
a mosquito hatchery; both kinds of
| insects are in evidence in abundant
Lower Palolo road and is a nuisance
| to a large number of residents, and
an insect danger to all; the sluggish
stream is on main thoroughfare, is
choked by growths and a menace to
the whole district-the water supply
comes from upper crater and vicinity
(site of proposed reservoir-which
must not be an open reservoir).

teenth, mauka of Waialae road. In

residence of Mr.. Craig. On Leahi
avenue, near Sanders premises,
water pipes are leaking badly, pipes
have number of holes, wooden plugs
placed by government to prevent

/ Blackman's premises, Tenth avenue,
have two taps leaking badly; num-
