ASYLUM TRACT

Acting Governor Mott Smith today
took up the consideration Of changes
in the grounds of the insane asylum at
Kalihi He says the present boundary
fence and the roadway probably will
be moved eastward to take in an addl-
tional tract now used chiefly for taro
and rice patches. The present grounds
are too confined for the inmates. and
the taro and rice patches are not con-
sdered conducive to good health.
The change proposed will involve a
number of land exchanges, and con-
ferences will be held shortly with the
heads Of the various government de-
partments on this matter

from getting into hitherto uninfected
territory" said Mr.. Giffard today.
Some time ago, when the fruit fly
had not been found OIL Maui. we asked
the cooperation OF the steamship COM

nolulu to Maui and Hawaii by way
ports would not be carried into unin-

has been carried out further than II
was intended. and Kauai fruit and
vegetables have been stopped from
coming to Honolulu. The facts have
been much exaggerated, and as was
out of reach and busy with other work

grew and grew. As to laws why
these regulations have not been sign
