except Rep. Palohau, who was alb
sent.
The Sanitary Committee to whom
was referred n petition from Puma,
Hawaii, asking that in future no
more lepers be taken to Kalawao,
but that they be treated in the dis
trict to which they belong, have had
the same under careful consideration,
and beg to report that however desir-
able such course might be to those
afflicted. their friends and relations,
it appears TO your committee, for
sanitary and financial reasons, to be
inadmissible. Your committee there
fore respectfully recommends that
the prayer of the petition be re-
| iected.
Your committee further reports
on q petition from Hama, asking for
an appropriation of S4 900 for n
hospital for that district, that they
see no reasons other than financial
for refusing the prayer. They there
fore recommend that it be referred
to the Finance Committee.
"On q petition from Walanae,
Kauai, asking for the erection of a
leper hospital at IIanapepe on that
island, your committee recommend
that the prayer be rejected on sani-
tary grounds. And they have come
to the same conclusion with respect
to petition from Puma praying for
the repeal of the law known as
"The Act to mitigate" etc.
'Respectfully submitted.
