WnaJ is DeSJ Ill JlllS case.
5--The committee are satisfied
that 2l lbs. are enough if only one
person uses the ration, but if the
person who receives the ration has
two or three friends to help him eat
it then it would not be. The com
mttee recommend as n measure of
stopping great amount of COM
plant that the ration of pai-ai be
increased to 20 lbs. per week.
Cit is within the province of the
Board of Health to comply or not
with this request.
THE committee are of opinion
that one butcher shop would serve
the purpose as well as two if it were
put halfway between the two places,
and they recommend the Board OF
Health to carry such plan out.
s. The committee are of opinion
that it would be unwise to remove
Mr.. Meyers, who is man of educa-'
tion, good business man, well-off
and strictly honest and who has the
confidence of all. He has managed
the affairs of the Board of Health
there with ability, and it would be a
very stupid step to grant the prayer
of the petition for his removal.
9-The ration of bread is recon-
mended to be increased to lbs.
per week.
l0-Committee are of opinion that
the amount asked is excessive, and
recommend that the matter be left
with the Board to do what seems
best.
Committee express their thanks
to the Honorables j. w. Kalua, c.
II. Dickey, L. A. Thurston, G. B.
Palohau, Geo. T.. Richardson and
j. a. Kaukau, for assistance rend-
cred in bringing out the facts of the
case, and also to the honorable
Mobiles j. O. Dominis, a. S. Cleg-
horn, and j. II. S. Martin; Honor
ables j. T, Baker and Cecil Brown;
the President of the Board of Health !;
the Hon. j. H, Wodehouse, British
Commissioner and II. Feer, French
Commissioner, for the interest taken
by them in all the investigations
made by the committee at Kalawao.
The committee are also under great
obligations to w. l.. Wilcox, Inter-
prefer of the Assembly, for his
assistance at investigation.
After visiting the hospitals and
other buildings the committee started
back to Kalaupapa to hear what
complaints the people there had to
make, but finding that the time was
limited and that S. B. Kamai repre-
sented the people there as wellas at
Kalawao they did not hold any
meeting at that place. While
at Kalaupapa, the committee saw
being landed fifty head of good fat
cattle for the use of the lepers.
The committee here return their
hearty thanks to the hon. Noble s..
G. Wilder, for his great kindness
extended during the entire trip.
The committee find, in conclusion,
that no blame attaches to the Presi-
! dent of the Board of Health, and
their decision is as follows;
That w. Nj. Gibson, President oi
the Board of Health, is entirely free
from any blame or responsibility fol
any of the things complained Of
Committee do not think the Boart
of Health can be held responsible
for any of the acts complained of as
having been done by Mr.. Meyers
and as to the charges against him
the committee are satisfied that the,
are unfounded and only actuated b,
spite and jealousy, and report tina
they find Mr.. Meyers entirely limo
cent of any of the things compliance
against him as agent of the Boar
of Health. The committee believ
the statements of Kiha, Hutchinso
and Father Damien to be the truth
and discharge them from any blam
In any way,
