leper children ut the settlement, ant
they are increasing continually.
1t appears TO me that il is crime Il
allow the children to remain ther,
and become a charge on the board
and permitting some of them TO be,
come lepers.
The visitors at the kamaaina houses
are increasing, and the road up the
| pail is about as convenient for the
lepers TO go up and their friends to
come down TO the kamaaina houses
as the Nuuanu pail road is for persons
TO so to Koolau.
l see no way to stop the traffic up
and down the pail so long as the kule-
anas are owned by the kamaainas.
AT present, it is segregation in
name only and not in fact. In the
settlement it is looked on as q farce.
Trusting that the above report will
be satisfactory, am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
