The Sanitary Committee, to whom was

in the district to which they belong, have

their friends and relations, it appears to
your committee, for sanitary and financial
reasons, to be inadmissible Your COM

that the prayer of the petition be rejected. |
Your committee further reports on pc
tition from Hama, asking for an appTopria- !
ton of 81 900 for hospital in that district, |
that they see no reasons other than fnan- |

Finance Committee.
On petition from Waimea, Kauai, ask |
ing for the erection of a leper hospital at |
Hanapepe, on that island, your committee |
that the prayer be rejected on
sanitary grounds. And they have come to !
the same conclusion with respect to pc
titiOn from Puma, praying for the repeal of |
the law known as THE Act to mitigate"
