received at said Office by the Health
authorities from the Agent of the Board
at Molokai. At the request of your
committee Mr.. Nakaleka sent to Mo-
lokai and received an approved list Of
the persons employed showing the
number of days and the rate per day
agreed upon between themselves and
MIR. George Trimble, the agent of the
Board of Health at Molokai The list Is
as follows: J. Nakaleka and d. II. Ka
haulelio, 50 days each at 80, Sl02;
John Kanikau, J. Hull, A. X. Laumau-
ma. W. Laumauna, d. Nahinu, l. Keod
Apaki, Kalili. J. Mahoe, j. X. Kaupu,
Kalawaaaola, and J. Hui, "a days each
at So per day SOS each. Total sl,O2O.
Your committee believes that the
agent of the Board OF Health at MOlO-
kai should have notified the Office in
Honolulu of his action, and should
have sent report, showing the num-
Der of persons employed and the
amounts due them. The only record
that we have now is the above list that
has been submitted, and as the en-
ployment of these persons was ar
ranged for four years ago II is almost
impossible to attempt to verify IT,.
Your committee have made diligent
inquiries AT the office of the Board OIL
Health as to whether any amount was
paid from that Office for like work per-
formed on any of the other Islands,
and have been informed that no
amount of money at any time has been
paid by the Board Of Health for per-
sons employed by any agent OF the
Board OF Health at any Of the Islands
during the plague of 1899, and the
statement was made to your commit
tee that all work performed at the var
Gus Islands was done and arranged for
by Citizens Sanitary Committee. and
all moneys due these persons so en-
ployed were paid by the said commit
tee.
II has been asCertained by your COM
mittee that some persons were en-
ploycd by the two sugar estates on the
TO in the petition or resolution pre-
scented to this House. and that they
were paid by the plantations for the
work performed.
The Board of Health at no time auth
Orized the expenditure of any money
for work Of this nature. and II the
agent Of the Board OF Health at Mo-
lokai employed these men and incurred
this expense without authority and
without nj least notifying the said
Board, your committee believes that
we should not appropriate this amount
In payment of these claims.
The Board of Health protected the
various islands and the ports OF call
Of the different steamers to the best
Of their ability by not allowing any
vessel to proceed from this port with
out Il certificate that such vessel had
taken all the precautions deemed nee
/ essary to prevent her carrying infec-
ton and II the different islands took
upon themselves through Citizens
Committee, the duty OF guarding the
sea coast, they should pay the men so
employed, and not ask the Government
to settle these claims for them.

The report of the Police Committee
on this bill was as follows:
Your committee finds through sta
tistics of large cities on the Mainland
the advisability of passing a measure
of this kind. 1t has been the experience
in the large cities that the churches
nave not lost any of their attendants
but II has helped them to a certain ex-
tent by keeping people who do not at
tend churches away from the streets
by going to the different places where
they can be furnished with a little
amusement to pass the time away.
statistics also show that by having
public sports, amusements, shows and
games on Sunday, less nuisance is seen
on the streets.
1T seems to your committee that Il
is nothing but fair that people who dc
not go to church should have a place
where they can have a little innocent
