lows:-
Hon. j. S. WALKER, President
Legislative Assembly. IR:--Your
special committee to whom has been
referred bill entitled can Act
Authorizing the Minister of the In
terror to release and grant claim to
Herman Kockmann, Bishop OF
Olba and Vicar Apostolic of the
Hawaiian Islands, in trust for the
Catholic Mission of the Hawaiian
Islands, of certain premises occu-
pied by said mission for eleemosyn-
ary purposes, recommend that the
word "of" in the seventh line of
the bill between the words ''islands"
and certain" be stricken out.
Your committee. after careful
examination of the document and a
conference with the Reverend
Father Leonor, one of the Catholic
missionaries, with reference to the
uses of said piece of land are salts
fed that it has been devoted to
charitable or eleemosynary pur-
poses since its first conventional
grant by the Government forty
years ago, and although the first
considerations have not been liber-
ally fulfilled yet it is recognized
that the object was to accommodate
religious body with piece of
land to be used for the objects in
tended, and it is therefore only just
and proper for the Government,
under the circumstances, to grant
them title as set forth in the bill,
and your committee, therefore, re-
spectfully report that they recon-
mend the passage of said bill with
the amendment above referred to.
