The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-19


600 to which the Board of Health has
fallen heir, Kauai is entitled to her
proportion and the sooner she gets it
the better, as is shown by the condi-
tions in Nawiliwili at tow tide We
would respectfully call our worthy
health inspectors attention to these
conditions with request for prompt
action. With diphtheria all round us
and a stream such as the Nawiliwili
belching forth daily supply of ac-
cumulated, .half-decayed vegetable mat
ter, is a menace to the health of the
community. The conditions in Nawili-
will call for prompt action in which
Kauais part of that $25OOOO will play
a most substantial part.
Fountains for Schools.
If the plans of Health Inspector
Frank Cooke are carried out, the pub
lie schools of Kauai will soon be fitted
with sanitary drinking fountains. To
a reporter Mr.. Cooke stated that with
such an arrangement the chances for
the spread of diphtheria and such dis
eases would be greatly lessened, If not
entirely obliterated. Mr.. Cooke made
a trip up Wailua river Saturday for
the purpose of disinfecting the house
in which the Lihue diphtheria case
was discovered.

Representative J. H. Coney, Nawili-
willis expert fisherman, bagged a

preaching the same vicinity in which
this big catch was made.
