steamer Lehua had arrived at Kalau.
papa with your eXcellency and Others
So went to Kalaupapa and met your
excellency and others at the BishoI
home.
Monday, May 1, 's3.-I went to
haIaupapa this A. NJ. to hurry the
men up with the boiler, and at p. NJ
IL was at the hospital premises al
kalawao.
On the I'd inst. the foundation fol-
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 the night of the 5th inst.
After / arrived at 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 as they
found other quarters.
The building selected for DIR. 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 DE cleaned up and
white-washed this week.
There Xy0Fp ahOnf thirty nnFSnnS
| outside of the home that have been
| using the Goto treatment irregularly,
and some of them wish to know if
DIR. Goto will be allowed to treat
them outside of the home and hos
pital. / informed them / thought
there would not be any objection if
they had heater satisfactory to the
doctor. But it was a matter for the
board. Several have proper heaters.
On the 4th inst. there were 80 per-
sons at the boys home and IS at the
Bishop Home, and Sister Mariana
informed me that there were as
many at 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 1 beg to suggest an idea for the
consideration of your honorable
been bought by (the board) or govern
ment, select some of the houses of the
kamaainas 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 a list of adj
vanced cases, mild cases, and light or
suspicious cases, and L think it would
be to the advantage of the board to
know.
While at the settlement [ received
all the assistance the acting superin-
tendent and his men could give me.
In the p. G. ADVERTISER of the 4th
inst, under the head of "Board OF
HEALTH" 1 see paragraphs ) and 6 re-
fleet on my action while at the settle
ment, and, in justice to myself, beg
TO state there was no trouble about
getting the boilers up in time; the
only trouble there was being in get
ting the building ready.
In regard to the bath-house, i, by
my report to the board on the 5th ult.,
recommended bath-house 20 by 80,
with a 6-foot veranda.
If there has been a mistake it is for
tunate, for we now have good build
ing, and, If necessary, it can be used
for other purposes.
The thirty bedsteads and bedding
for thirty persons mentioned in my
former report will be required now
also an outfit for cooking, etc.
Trusting the above report will be
satisfactory, 1 am your Obedient ser
want,
