NEW ASYLUM SITE.
President Cooper discussed the ques-
tion of site for the new Insane Asy-
lum, saying it should be decided as
soon as possible. There were fine pub
lie lands for the purpose in Palolo
valley, upon which taro was growing
under lease soon to expire. All the taro
needed for the institution could be
raised there, also potatoes and vege-
tables, and the work of cultivation
would be beneficial exercise for the
milder cases of inmates. Dairying
in supply enough to give power for
generating electricity. There was an
other site under consideration down the
railway near Waialua, which was also
good agricultural land and a desirable
location. Governor Dole and Superin-
tendent Cooper seemed to favor the Pa
lolo valley lands. While the decision
did not vest in the Board, no doubt it's
suggestions would be welcome to the
Government. He asked the members
to think over the matter.
