REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Kaunamano, from the Sanitary
Committee, presented a report or a petit

adopted.

duced by the Hon. J. w. Kalua, relating
to the claim of the Wilder Steamship Com
pany to the subsidy passed at the session
of ne Legislature of 1884, being subsidy
to steamer to run between PukoO, Molo-
kai, Lahaina and Lanai, $500" and
claimed by the said steamship company as
having been earned by the steamer Moko-
lii, she having fulfilled the subsidy, was
granted; and also the petition of F. Wun-
denberg, claimed on the terms and con-
dition upon which portion of that subsidy
for thirty-six trips performed by the
steamer j. l. Dowsett, beg leave to submit
IL. 10 Int
tition under consideration, and report as
follows;
They find that the steamer James l.
DOwsett, owned or controlled by F. Wun-
denberg, made thirty-six trips i'll confor
nifty with the terms of the subsidy APP
pear by a certificate of 100 persons, resi-
dents of Molokai and Oahu; and that the
steamer MokOlii, owned or controlled by
the Wilder Steamship Company, made
eighty three trips in conformity with the
terms of the subsidy. We are therefore of
opinion that the subsidy for thirry-six trips
made by both the steamers J. ]. DOwsett
and Mokolii should be divided equally be-
tween said steamers or owners, and that
forty-seven other trips made by the Moko-
lii should be paid to the owners of that
steamer ana we JntGclbTE lSCpIIliliGltNL
that the sum of $500 be inserted in the APP
preparation bill to be paid to F. Wunden-
berg, and also that the sum of 81, 500 be in
serted in the Appropriation bill to be paid
to the Wilder Steamship Company, being
at the rate of $25 for each steamer for the
thirty-six trips, and at the rate of $50 for
forty-seven trips made by the Mokolii.
