H. C. Sloggett, NJ. D., President Board
of Health.
Sir:-Your committee appointed to
investigate the matter of subsidy and
transportation of freight beg to re-
port as follows:
The freight and passenger guaran-
tee for weekly common carrier ser
vice" between Honolulu and several
island ports does not benefit or con-
Germ the Board in any way. as none Of
the leper ports on Molokai are men
toned in the appropriation. We do
not understand why the appropriation
was placed under this department
however we would recommend that
tenders be asked for at once in order
that the people at the ports called for
may receive continued communication
with Honolulu.
After an interview with Mr.. Wight
of the Wilder s. S. Co.. he agreed to
withdraw the letter OF July by which
the Board was notified that in future
warrants would not be accepted in
payment of fares of passengers.
In the matter OF transportation OF
freight we would recommend that the
monthly subsidy of $500 now paid by
the Board from the appropriation of
Segregation. Support and Treatment
Of Lepers." be withdrawn. and that
tenders be called for as follows:
LIST Rate per ton for transportation
of all freight for the Board of Health
including packages for the lepers. IL
accompanied by permit from an ON
Ger Of the Board. between Honolulu
and Settlement.
End. Transportation of lepers or
an agent OF the Board between Homo
lulu and Settlement.
srd. Rate per head for transporta-
ton Of cattle from Hawaii or Maui
ports to Settlement (waikolul.
4th Rate per bundle for transpor-
tation OF paiai from ports on wind
ward side of Nolokai to Settlement.
