The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1888-07-24

Rep. Kinney reported from the
Special Committee to whom was re-
ferred a resolution to inaugurate the
study of leprosy by native Hawai-
ians in the public schools at least
once a week, recommending that it
be adopted and that $1,000 he in
serted in the Appropriation Bill for
printing suitable books III the Ha-
waiian language for this purposes.
Noble Townsend moved TO amend
the resolution by making it at least
40 days in each year, instead of once
week. He thought it interfering
too much with the management of
schools by arranging daily pro-
gramme.
Rep. Kalaukoa moved to take up
the resolution for consideration.
Noble Smith was in favor of the
motion of Rep. Kalaukoa with an
amendment, that the resolution be
printed and made an order of the
day. He thought that it was not
necessary to state that the subject
of leprosy should be taught, but
that it could be differently worded so
that it would not advertise our ma
tional disease.
Noble Smiths motion carried.
Minister Thurston reported in re-
gard to the petition from Kawelo,
Hilo, for $500 for land taken by the
Government for road. Mr.. j. NJ.
Lidgate, chairman of the Road
Board for Hilo, writs that a settle
ment had been effected with this
man befor the road was commenced,
but subsequently the land had
changed hands and had come into
possession of Mr.. ID. b. Wahine q
would-be lawyer of that place, and
he makes this claim for damages.
He expresses the hope that the legis-
lature will take no notice OF such
claims as these las they are unfound-
ed and frivolous.
On motion the petition was laid
on the table.
Minister Green presented list of
taxes and the commissions paid on
them for the year 1887.
On motion the report was ordered
printed.
