house for DR.. Goto. The building has
been repaired and was ready for use
before / left, except being white
washed
While was attending TO the NOV
ing Of the house, heard that the
steamer Lehua had arrived at Kalau-
papa with your excellency and Others.
So went to Kalaupapa and met your
eXcellenoy and others at the Bishop
home.
Monday, May l, 'eS.-I went to
Kalaupapa this A. NJ. to hurry the
men up with the boiler, and at p. NJ.
it was at the hospital premises at
Kalawao.
On the Cd inst. the foundation for
! the boiler was built.
Unfortunately there was two days
lost on the work on the bath house as
Mr.. Reed was the food giver.
Wednesday the Sd inst-I had the
boiler placed in position and ready TO
connect the pipe with the bath tank as
soon as the building was finished,
which should be done by the end of
this week.
Thursday the 4th inst.-Dr. Goto
and left the settlement, per steamer
| Mokolii, via Puko, and arrived in
Honolulu on she night of the 5th inst.
After l arrived ut the settlement
Mr.. Hutchinson, the acting superin-
tendent, gave notice to the persons
that were living in the buildings at
the hospital that, they must select
other quarters. So they commenced
to vacate the buildings as fast rs they
found other quarters.
The building selected for DR.. GotO's
medicines and Office has been cleaned
up and white-washed. The mauka
room of the building is plained-siding
and will be painted.
The two large buildings for patients
will probably oe cleaned up and
white-washed this week.
There We're about thirty persons
outside of the home that have been
using the Goto treatment irregularly,
and some of them wish to know if
DR.. GOtO will be allowed to treat
them outside of the home and hos
pital. 1 informed them 1 thought
there would not be any objection if
they had a heater satisfactory to the
doctor. But it was a matter for the
board. Several have proper heaters.
On the 4th inst. there were 81 per-
sons ut the boys home and SIS at the
Bishop Home, and Sister Mariana
informed me that there were as
many 1t the homes as there were
accommodations for.
There are many non-leper children !
at the settlement and in time some
thing will have to be done with them,
and | beg TO suggest an idea for the |
consideration of your honorable |
board, viz, after the kuleanaS have |
been bought by tthe board) or govern |
ment, select some of the houses of the |
6amaainas at Waihanau and start a
home for all leper children at the set
Element. By adopting the above the
parents would be weaned from the
children and there would not be any
trouble in taking them away.
DR.. Goto has selected about fifteen |
persons for treatment at the hospital,
but he is willing to take any cases
that the board assigns him. He is
anxious to inspect all lepers at the
settlement and make q list of ad-
vanced cases, mild cases, and light or
cases, and / think it would
be TO the advantage of the board to
know.
While at the settlement [ received
al the assistance the acting superin-
-endent and his men could give me.
In the P. C. ADVERTISER of the 4th
INST, under the head of BOARD of
HEALTH l see paragraphs ) and 6 re-
iect on my action while at the settle
nent, and, in justice to myself, beg
20 state there was no trouble about
getting the boilers up in time; the
Inly trouble there was being in get
ing the building ready.
In regard to the bath house, /, by
ny report to the board on the 9Th ult., ,
recommended a bath-house 20 by 80,
With a 6-foot verauda.
If there has been a mistake it is for 1
innate, for we now have a good build
ng, and, if necessary, it can be used
or other purposes.
The thirty bedsteads and bedding
or thirty persons mentioned in my
ormer report will be required now;
.lsO an outfit for cooking, etc.
Trusting the above report will be
l am your Obedient SER
ant,
DAVID DAYTON, Agent, !
Inspector of Lepers.
4 general discussion took place on {
ieating facilities for the japanese
reatment, which included the dis
ussiOn of certain questions arising as
o DR.. GOto's special treatment. The /
ntire matter was referred to d..
toto, who was unavoidably absent {
rom the meeting. r
TIE question of distributing medi-
ines to lepers not under the immedi- ;
te charge of Or. Goto was brought up. t
nd it was decided that when the out p
ide patients had efficient heating =
such treatment could be :
iven at the discretion of DR.. Goto. (
In considering the question of i'm
rovements, the president pointed out
nat in case of fire the whole of the
bishop home would certainly be
urnt. He also stated that he had
INT up enough rough lumber for
uilding a shed over the heating
oiler.
The board approved his action.
President Smith read an estimate ,
IT materials needed to prepare for 2
T. Goto's treatment-thirty beds =
