Rep Kaunamano presented re-
port of the Sanitary Committee on
sundry petitions relating to the
licensing of opium. The petitions
were signed by 2l foreign and a
number of Chinese residents. The
committee find that large quantity
of opium is smuggled into the coun-
try and that the traffic is very
profitable one, and the committee
have information that many of the
people who signed the petitions
were themselves engaged in selling
and smuggling opium, and the
committee think it would be fool
ish to grant the prayer of these
petitions, as license law
would give to the Government a
large part of the revenue now de-
rived from the illicit traffic The re-
port was signed by one of the COM
mittee, j. X. Kauuamano.
Rep. Kaulia moved the report be
returned TO the member to be sub
mitted to other members of the com.
