naman named l.. Ahlo who is In charge
OF residence on upper Nuuanu street
This residence Is owned by the lla.
waiian Trust Company and when he
was asked to sweep up his mangoes,

IT, r. p Watcrhouse was the captain
of this district, whose headquarters
we're situated on Kuakini street at
the residence of W. A. Love. Aside
from this one incident, Mr.. Water
house expressed himself as being very
well pleased with the way that the
residents Of his district took hold Of
the work before them. All the other
premises in the district were reported
to be clean Of mangoes and the two
teams ana two men assigned to the
work occupied themselves with carting
dry rubbish such as old shoes, straw
and mud, bolt es, etc, to the Iwilei
dump.
At the headquarters of District 6
situated at the residence of Mrs. Jane
Walker on Nuuanu street, Captain II.
II. Walker reported that the majority
of the rubbish cleared away consisted
of mangoes. Two men and one wagon
had charge of carrying the fruit to
the. incinerator above the Honolulu
Iron Works where it was burned, ano
at eleven O'Clock this morning four
to the incinerator. 1t was explained
that this was done instead of dumping
the fruit in order to prevent the spread
of the >fruitfly in the rotting mangoes.
On Alewa Heights, eight men, one
wagon and a driver were occupied in
carrying away tin cans ana general
rubbish. There was no fruit to be
destroyed and the laborers under the
direction of Frank Mclaughlin carried
four loads of rubbish to the dump and
burned the rest in the vicinity, A
large part of the work here was pour.
ing coal oil into cesspoo's in order to
kill off the mosquito larvae there exist
ing. Mr.. Mclaughlin expected that
his work would be completed by two
o'clock this afternoon.

who made his headquarters at the
poi factory, had three teams and four
men working away at dry rubbish as
there was no fruit to be removed.
They had only taken away four loads
at noon and their work was neatly
! completed then.
All through this part Of town, con
ditions were very much the same
Order and cleanliness prevailed, a.
though occasionally the inspectors
would come across blind alley
choked up with dry rubbish but
smoldering bonfires which were ex.
istent upon nearly every vacant piece
of property showed that the neigh.
borhood had been imbued with the
spirit of Cleanup day.

Through Palama, Kahauiki and Ka-
lihi, there was more to be done ana
| more teams, lieutenants and men
were assigned to the work of cleaning
up. Especially true was this OF the
Kamehameha School for Boys, where
the Board of Health lent comparative
ly little assistance, the entire worK

OF the work here, which consisted OF
cleaning up the large grounds oc.
cupied by the school Two Board o.
Health officials were present but the
