| terday:
To DIR. J. II. Raymond, President, and
Members of the Board of Health.
! Gentlemen: The undersigned lepers and
kokuas residing at the Leper Settlement
respectfully ask your honorable body to
4 forthwith instruct our superintendent
! C. B. Reynolds, Esq.-to order the taro
planters at Waikolu and Waileia valleys,
4 both lepers and kokuas, to cease plant
| ing taro, for the following reasons, to
wit;
Firstly That said planters at present
are acting independently and at all
events do not care to be under the con-
troll of our superintendent.
! Secondly. That one or two of said tarO
planters of late have refused to give Ia
70 to us and have also attempted to
charge the Board $3.50 per bag of raw
taro while we were in need of poi
Thirdly That the taro planters in
Waileia valley, while we were in great
amongst themselves for the purpose of
raising the regular price of their taro
per bag from 81 to ST. and even $3.50.
Fourthly That while we were praying
for poi before our superintendent some
of the Waikolu taro planters were asked
by the superintendent whether they had
ripe taro at all at the time, to which
they fatty and falsely made denial, al
though they were quietly using ripe taro
for their own private use, contrary to
the orders of the Board.
| Filthy That as long as the Board of
| Health continue to allow the said plan
tiers to cultivate taro in said valleys of
! Waikolu and Waileia We will not nave
square deal at ALI : ~~-
! Therefore, we strongly urge and pray
! that the Board of Health take immediate
pc secession of all lands now under the
| care of the said taro planters, for rea-
| sons above set forth, in order to avoid
discomfort and ill-feeling We are having
with them now, and your petitioners
will ever pray.
