DR.. c. b. Cooper, President OF the
Board of Health, Honolulu.
Sir: I beg to hand you herewith a
description and blue print of the prop
erty belonging to the Bishop Estate
at Kapalama, and at present occupied
by tbe pest house and the home for
non<leprous children of leprous pa
rents. The total area is S.S acres, and
this piece of land is part of that
leased by the Government for a Deten-
ton Camp, said lease expiring In jan
uary. 1905.
AS 1t is my intention to sell at auc-
ton the buildings used in the Deten-
tion Camp. and as understand you
wish to retain the portion at present
used by your Department, would sug-
gest that you make application to the
Bishop Estate for new lease of the
property described in the enclosed let
ter. In talking the matter over with
MI Dodge. I believe that the Bishop
Estate Will make such a lease. and in
case the rent paid is satisfactory they
VIII probably agree to lease the prop
erty for long term OF years.
The Government has been paying $500
year for 30 acres, which Is at the
rate OF $50 per acre, and by special
agreement the taxes were omitted.
l would also suggest that you obtain
the right to connect 3-inch pipe to
the 12-inch main from the artesian
well on the mauka side OF the road
with supply OF water from same. I'M
INSTRUCTED by any valves or other de-
vices for throttling or reducing the
natural flow of water from the well.
AT the present time, the pipe going 10
the Pest House and Sisters Home runs
through the Detention Camp but
think 1t would be advisable to have the
pipe laid In the street and connecting
to the 12-inch main outside of the De-
tention Camp so that there would be
no trouble I'm obtaining sufficient wa
ter at all times.
AS 1 desire to advertise the Deten-
ton Camp for sale at an early date, I
would request that you take this mat
ter up with the Bishop Estate at your
early convenience.
Yours respectfully,
c. s. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Works.

c. Charlock, Esq. Secretary of the
Board OF Health. Honolulu:
Sir: l beg to acknowledge receipt of
your favor OF the 4th inst, number 1415.
enclosing copy of the resolution adopt
ed by the standing committee of the
Insane Asylum, and note from same
that the present asylum grounds have
been approved as a site for the new
building.
l will arrange to have the plans COM
pleted at an early date and same will
be submitted to the Board of Health
for approval.
Regarding the Government rock
crusher in the rear of the Asylum
grounds, would say that at the pres
ent time there are no funds available
for the removal of this plant, and
am seriously considering the advisable
ity of selling the entire equipment at
auction, as l believe that the Govern
ment has sufficient quarry capacity
outside of the Insane Asylum quarry,
and l also understand that the latter
Is about exhausted.
Yours respectfully,
c. S. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Works
DR.. Mays entered written protest.
which the president will present to the
executive, against having the Asylum
cut in two by the extension of
school street.
