President Pinkham reported to the
board the following plan for Kalau-
papa, which was approved:
"As the Settlement on Molokai has
steam boiler and will be obliged to
install an engine to run the poi ma
chinery, we have under consideration
the addition of a small ice plant and
a laundry which can thus be econom-
ically provided. The latter is quite a
necessity. We hope to soon lay before
you plans that will prove unobjectnon-
able and meet with your approval.
Both these latter proposed improve
ments would produce certain income
for their maintenance"
