Lurinu the Beaver.

Beavers when they have been undis-
turbed for long are very curious in re-
lation to strange sounds. They Will
come swimming out Of their house
even at the firing Of q gun. The In
dians usually call them with q kissing
noise or one produced by munching the
lips. Another favor.te tote is sound
made by tapping the trousers with the
hand. The most successful beaver CALI
er in Newfoundland killed great num-
bers Of beavers In the open season by
making sound that resembled the
cutting of chips off a tree. 1t is said
that the unfortunate beavers never fail
to respond TO this neiss.

was good for him, and President Eliot
determined to do his duty and look
into the matter.
Meeting the young man under sus

INDECENT Emergency Cases.

1t was intended that INDECENT emer-
gency cases should be treated by the
city and county physician. There be-
ing no place belonging to the city. and
with no properly endowed institution
where deserving indigents could be
properly cared for, the patients have
now to be taken to the Queens Hospi-
tai, where they are treated by the
hospital staff For such professional
services, the city and county pays the
sum of $3.50 PEI day for each patient
1t is claimed, on reliable authority
that indigents have been allowed to
remain in this hospital for a month
and other long periods when they
could have been discharged as cured
in from three to four days. The con,
clusion to be drawn from such a state
of affairs is better understood than
explained.

Purpose.


Section % of the plumbing ordin-
ance provides that "All persons, firms,
or corporations SHALL within three
days after the completion of any
plumbing work. notify the plumbing
inspector thereof" Section 30 of the
ordinance provides q remedy for viola
ton of this provision. These sections
have now become dead letters, and
cases are frequent where three months
have elapsed before such notification
has been made to the city plumbing
inspector If this official followed up
all delinquents in this respect it would
mean the devoting of the whole of
his time to this work alone AS the
matter stands at present, the ordin-
ance allows incompetent workmen to
pose as plumbers, whose responsibility
would appear to end after their work
is paid for by the property owner. If
the plumber was licensed and COMPEL.
ed to show the property owner a sign
ed release from the plumbing in
spector before being paid for his work
it would compel the notification for a
final inspection The present plumb
ing ordinance defeats its own pur
pose
Control Of Sewers and Water by City
There is much duplication of work
between the Territorial board of pub,
lie works and the city and county in
regard to sewer and water extension.
The duties now undertaken by both
these departments renders it difficult
to draw the dividing line absolutely
and friction must inevitably result.
The city and county plumbing and
house drain inspection should be made
divisions of a department of sewers
and water works, under a local board
of public works, as recommended in
this report.
Deduction of Operating Costs.
With the consolidation of all the
above work in a local board of public
works, as recommended, the present
operating expenses of thai branch of
the Territorial board of public works
referring to sewers and water works
could be reduced at least thirty per
cent.

Emergency Contagious Disease
Hospital.

hospital.
There is also no city and county
hospital for the care of those suffer
ing from contagious diseases where
immediate medical relief could be
given. This is a deplorable condition,
as the following case Will show: On
the 18th of February last two Fill
pines arrived in Honolulu from Kauai,
both suffering from contagious dis
ease. They were without money and
destitute. They applied to the city
and county physician for relief, which
could not be given, for the reason
above stated. They had to be practic-
ally left on the street. Their condi-
ton was such that they should have
been detained at the island from
whence they came, but without Ter
ritorial control over such matters, they
were passed on to Honolulu.
Increase in immigration.
With the increase of immigration
to the Islands the number of indig-
ents will also be increased, Honolulu
being the main port of call for trans
pacific steamers and the only city of
importance with growing attractions
for the foreign element, it can be safe
ly expected that this community will
be made the Mecca for all such Ter
ritorial undesirables. 1t would be,
therefore, unjust to saddle this burden
on the city and county The expense
of caring for these people should rest
with the Territory at large, the city
and county attending to the wants of
their direct local charges.
Proposed Decrease in Sanitation Cost.
BY turning over all matters of SAM
tation to the Territorial board of
health, such as the inspection of
meats, dairies, H5l, cattle, swine,
sheep, fruits and vegetables, The pub

which it was further reported that
537477 were iced fish. The stipend

ever and was a gross waste of time.

FIELD ON PLUMBING INSPECTION
AND OFFICE Of CITY PHYSICIAN.

II Gooding Field in his report as
expert on municipal affairs to the
Chamber Of Commerce, has the fol
lowing criticism of the operation OF
the plumbing ordinance and the office
of city physician:
Filling Out Applications for
Permits.
The application for plumbing per.
mits, which calls for an abstract OF
specifications and other technical in
formation, instead of being filled out
by the master plumber in an intelli.
gent manner, as should be the case
is generally left to an Incompetent
employe, This practically results in
a complete rewriting of the applica.
ton by the office of the plumbing in.
spector If it were made compulsory
that these applications be attended
to by the plumber himself, much labor
of this department would be saved.
Licensing of Plumbers.
As viii be explained later, the
ordinance establishing rules and reg
ulations for the plumbing and drain
.age of buildings and construction of
house sewers has been rendered use.
less as preventive measure by the
amendment of its salient features.
The amendment of Section of the
above ordinance which provides for
the licensing of plumbers in the city
and county has resulted in the most
incompetent plumbing work done, and
more than doubling the work of the
plumbing inspectors office. The fol-
lowing copy of one of a number of
records in this office will illustrate the
point:

is not yet completed
If competent plumber, who had
been examined as to his proficiency
in his trade and licensed accordingly
had been engaged for this work the
inspection of the job-which is not a
difficult one-could have been COM
pleted by the plumbing inspector in
two visits-one on the "roughing in"
test, and the final examination when
the fixtures were set. This is not a
solitary case of incompetence, as over
one-third of the inspectors time is
now occupied in remedying errors in
construction In many cases, on the
other hand, where competent plumb
ers have been engaged, they deputize
the work to their men, with equally
unsatisfactory results to the city

Building Inspection.

The duties of the building Inspec-
Itors, which are also performed by the
plumbing inspector, include supervi-
sion over the erection, construction,
alteration, repair and removal of
buildings and other structures within
the city and county. AS the number
of buildings erected within these
limits are rapidly increasing, the ex.
