PROBLEM
KapahuIu Club Hears from
Governor on Pinkham Re-
CIamation Plan

At the request OF Supervisor VOL
ter, chairman of the sanitation COM
smittee, Deputy County Attorney
Weaver has written the draft of an
ordinance dealing with hog ranches in
residence sections. 1t does not ven
ture to prohibit those establishments
absolutely, but lays penalty not to
exceed fine Of 800, or iTnprlson-
ment, or both fine and imprisc nment,
upon any person who keeps a hog
ranch within the city limits" of Ho-
nolulu in such q manner as to consti-
tute nuisance in its vicinity, and
provides that each day that the bad
conditions exist after warning shall
constitute separate offense.
Mr. Wolter has acted In the matter
as al member of the sanitary commit.
tee of Kapahulus Improvement Club.
At last nights meeting of the club he
produced the draft along with note
OF transmittal to himself from the
attorney, in which Mr.. Weaver stated
that the form corresponded, to the
usual legislation elsewhere relative to
keeping hogs within city bounds. He
suggested that it might be difficult to
tell here jus. what the city limits
were. ga E.f<s{t D. @''@s,.
Up TO Central Committee. -s-f
An opinion was expressed by "A
member that the draft might be
amended to define the bounds in
which the ordinance should have ef-
feet The board of health regulations
under territorial law prohibit hog
ranches within i've miles from the
postoffice. but this limitation does not
exclude them from various populous
and otherwise attractive suburbs.
However, the regulations do require
that the places be maintained in SAN
aitary condition, and the board Of
health is prescribing. very strict re-
.quirements in that regard. Kapahulu
people on the other hand declare that
the regulations AFFORD only temporary
abatement OF the nuisance; as the at
rnosphefe is quickly recharged with
foul exhalations after every cleanup
OF the ranches.
1t was unanimously voted by the
club to refer the draft to the sanitary
committee, with instructions to con-
fer with the president of the Oahu
Central Improvement Committee for
the purpose of having that body pro.
mote the passage of the ordinance,
with such amendment as may be
deemed necessary sta7 tscfgt &! =

Fl should be glad to talk over the

disadvantages Of present conditions
are perfectly obvious, but the prob.
