IDENT OF THE BOARD or HEALTH
SIR I'm obedience to instructions
DR.. Goto and l sailed for the Ieper set.
tlement, Moloksi, in the steamer No
kolii on the 18th ult., and arrived
there on the 18th ult. Icalled on Sis
ter Mariana, st the Bishop Home,
then went to kslawao.
On the 18th ult. 1 was st the hospi-
ISL the most of the day, as l was anx,
iouS for the hospital TO be in condition
TO receive DR.. Goto's patients.
On the Goth ult. was at the hospi-
tal during the forenoon TO see how the
work was getting along, then went TO
the Boys Home at Kslawao and had
talk with Mr.. Dutton and the Sis
tiers.
They are very anxious 10 have the
home put in 3 better condition so that
it will be more convenient for them
TO do their work.
Sister Mariana wishes the buildings
moved to the mauka side Of the road
so that there viii not be so much run
ming about. l think they can be
moved and put in order for less than
$500. Then it would be necessary TO
build = new cook house like the one
st the Bishop Home, and more build
ingS would have to be erected for pa
tients, for the Home is full now, there
being 81 persons there.
The Baldwin buildings are occupied
by thirty or more boys and the build
ings are neat and clean. Hon. II. P.
Baldwin donated SIA37.1s, and he is
willing TO donate s., 962.S2 more to
make the home what it should be.
Buildings for lepers should be about
20x30 feet, then they could be kept in
better condition and the old buildings
should be cut in two, for the smell IN
them now is something terrible.
On the end ult. we tried the boiler
at the hospitals and took the water
for the baths from the blow off-pipe
st the bottom OF the boiler, and fed in
the top of the boiler and we found
that the water boiled on the surface
where il was only warm st the bot
tom Of the boiler, so on the BIRD ult.
We changed the pipes and fed in two
blOY-Offpipes at the bottom Ofthe boil
er and tapped the boiler little above
the lower try-eock and We had boiling
water in 20 minutes, while the water
was only warm at the bottom of the
boiler, now it is impossible to draw
the water out Of the boiler and burn
the tubes in the boiler, and it is saw
ing Of coal for there Is sufficient hot
water above the pipes that leads to
the baths, 10 heat the water for the
baths st noon without firing
up, and in the afternoon very little
fire viii be required. l think that it
viii require about One-half OF bag Of
coal per day for the boiler to heat the
water for the baths there.
On the 24th ult., DR.. GOtO examined
l37 persons for treatment st the hos
Dital and he selected . or 80 persons,
and the next day those that he
for treatment were notified to
come TO the hospital TO remain there.
On the 18th ult. I went to the
Bishop home and consulted with Sis
ter Mariana and others IN regard 20 |
3 heater for the baths there to assist |
the heater from the range and also !
for an extension TO the bathhOuse, so |
the patients would have more room to !
cool OF in after having their bath.
I think 4 new bath house should be |
built there, but owing to the expense |
| thought the old one would do if it |
was extended, say 20 feet, so I sent |
the TequisitiOn to the board for the |
pipe for the heater and lumber for the |
extension Of the bath house.
l am informed that the water supply |
at the home is insufficient, and that |
sometimes they have no water for |
baths, hence the necessity for q heat
ct, for If the bath tub was filed in the |
night the water could be hot from the |
heater.
On the 9TH ult- about twenty Of the
patients took their first bath at the
and everything worked salts |
factory.
On the 18th ult. Twisted the Bishop

the funeral Of Alex Cornio.
On the Goth Ult. the thirty patients
by DR.. GotO for treatment |
were all ~ the hospital, 80 the treat 4
ment was regularly commenced there
There is sufficient room at the hos
pitaI for ten or twelve more patients 1
