der proper parmit from your Board to

the status or condition of such steam

mitie e or its chairman at said Hilo.
3 That the insanitary and filthy
condition existing in manv localities of
the Island of Hawaii is one regarded
with grave apprehension by the COM
munity at large and the committee in
that there are neither funds or 9ppli
anGes to cope with an emergency. and
that the distance from and difficulty of
communication with your Board would
prove a serious check To adequate
timely and effective measures.
The committee possesses no auth@ri-
ty st law to enforce measures for i'm
proving sanitary conditions, for con-
demning nuisanoss, and compelling
their batement. nor has il In hand any
authorization for the disbursement OF
such public funds as may be required
to carry out the objects sought, which
powers and privileges should be ac-
corded it by yonr Board.
The committee consists % we'll
known professional and business men,
VINO stand far no one particular locali-
ty, nor who pretend to represent any
ons exclusive interest. They repre-
sent and reflect the wishes of the large
majority on the Island of Hawaii. who
are prepared to stand by and assist by,
eveya means i'll their power the efforts
your Board is making in stamping out
the plague and preventing its introduce
ton elsewhere ON the Islands, but who
view with alarm and therefore call
your attention TO the conditions as
they eaist-unpreparednes lack of
authority, lack of funds.
Relying on your early consideration
of the above matters. have the honor.
sir. 30 remain,
Respectfully yours.
A. b. LOEBENSTElN,
Delegate from Health Cummitter, ISL
and of Bawaii.
