SCHOOL LANDS.

Inc only SCHOOL lands not disposed OF are hahuku,
now advertised for sale; Nsnawale, a small land in
Puma, n small part Of Wahiawa, and four building
lots on hulaOkahua, on Oahu. The purchasers Of
the Waikapu common, on Maui, containing about
1916 acres, are unable TO pay their notes, which
have become due, in consequence Of which the land
is about TO revert 10 the Government, and will be re-
sold. This common has been much injured by the
sand drifts from the windward side Of the island.
TIE SCHOOL FUND.
The nominal amount Of the School Fund on the 3Ist
of March last was S35, O4O 81, of which S12,l21
consisted Of notes against the above named purchasers
Of the WaIkapu common, secured by mortgages on
the land, which are of no yalne, so that the real
amount at that date was S22.9lS 81; S14,975 % Of
this amount is in the Treasury OF the Government,
and the balance is held in notes well secured by mort
cages and all Of the fund is drawing interest at the
rate Of II per cent. per annum, excepting the $1,000
before mentioned, as loaned TO Mr.. Andrews, without
interest, for n season, TO aid him in erecting buildings
for n school for native girls.
The fund will no doubt be increased considerably
during the present year by the sale Cf land. The re-
ceipts from the sale Of school lands since the close of
my last report amount TO S3,67S G5. Two old notes,
one foT a balance Of SS47 50, the other for S29l 40,
held against parties who have long since become in
solvent, have been entered to the account Of profit and
loss. In lieu Of the first, four lots On kulaokahua
are in possession of the Department, being the balance
Of the property held as security for It's payment. The
other note was given in 1850, and really never was
Of any value.
INTEREST AND RENT.

ed, marked OP. The gross receipts on this account

in 1858, As per account, were "a 1903 81, and in 1853
they were S4,5l6 "a, leaving a balance Of 81 ,514 II
on hand January LIST, 1850. The items appear in the

namely were SALTS SO, and the Disbursements were
Sl,lS4 80, leaving a balance Of 1898 50 on hand

MEDIC Is FOR GRATUITOUs DISTRIBUTION.
The appropriation of $500 for this object has all
been drawn and expended excepting S5l 629, in
furnishing medicines for the poor in remote parts Of
the islands. None have been sent to places where
there were regular physicians. l beg TO suggest to
the Legislature that an arrangement might be made
with the Physician Of the Queens Hospital to furnish
and distribute these medicines. Ii would certainly
be done by him with much more intelligence than it
can be by a nOn-prOfessiOnal man.
