Secretary of the Committee.
Mr. Allen stated that the committee |
strongly recommended the site on the |
Beach road. In answer to question |
he said this land would contain build
ings to accommodate 1000 people and
the Richards site 300, while the Kapio-
lani property had building now upon
1t which would hold the eighty odd
people to be released next day.
President Dole thought the offer of
the Kapiolani property, which was
free for one year, ought to be accepted
a general discussion en-
sued.
Mr.. Swanzy gave additional fiugres,
him by the japanese Consul,
relating to the condition of the Japan
ese about to be released from quaran-
tine. Only eight of them We're home
less and dependent.
President Dole considered the reports
more favorable than had been antici-
Dated, as promising a smaller number
IF people who were helpless and re-
luiring protection.
Mr.. Anterior, on ellciting insorma-
ion from Minister Cooper, expressed
he opinion that the $250,000 voted BY
he Council of State for the suppress
sion Of the plague, could not be drawn
upon for the object under discussion.
They could only recommend the work
10 the Executive Council for carrying
through.
A motion that the recommendations
If the committee be adopted and re-
erred to the Executive Council for
'arrying through was carried unani-
nously.
President Dole thereupon handed J.

iapiolani property, with directions for
