Mr.. Morgan reports that various IN
ducements were held out to the COM
mittee, through him. such as for the
establishment of free Hawaiian beds
in hospitals. which would rebound to
the credit of our community for all
time to come; applications were also
made to him by other organizations
than those mentioned, but in many Of
those cases the institutions make a
,l,a nd htts greatly In
need of immediate relief.
1t may be proper for me to add that,
ordinarily. | would oppose any of this
relief money going towards the pay
ment of mortgage, but the Kaufman
Rescue Home was strongly recon-
mended as doing excellent work. the
mortgage of $500 was assumed by those
in charge in order to Immediately
commence operations. and the suggest
ed offer / believe, will stimulate others
to raise the remaining s4OO required to
free It of all encumbrance before July
/. Very sincerely yours.
(Signed) G. r, CARTER,
Governor
The Governor stated in explanation
that he had endorsed the Morgan re-
port. Mr.. Morgan's written report did
not tell one-half the story of his in
vestigations, which had been thorough.
Mrs. Merrill had recommended distrib-
uting $4,000 among the hospitals. Mr..
Morgan had cut this down one-half,
and the Governor stated he had raised
Morgans recommendation to s625O.
There was some discussion over a
of Mr.. Morgan rela-
tive to an institution which Mrs. Mer-
rill hoped would be special bene-
hciary. 1t was decided. however, to ac-
cept the Governors report and vote
singly on the items.
The Governor stated that in all cases
he had ascertained that each of the
hospitals named took in free patients
and that caused him to select them
as beneficiaries. Although some were
conducted under the auspices of relig,
ious societies, yet there was no re-
striction as to creeds, race or color in
the majority of them. In the case of
the Mt. Zion Hospital, conducted under
the auspices of Hebrews. patients Of
all creeds and nationalities were
taken in.
Some one suggested that perhaps n
special amount should be designated
for the care OF Orientals. 1t was
stated that at the outset liberal appro-
priations had been specially designated
for both Chinese and Japanese, ex-
ceeding even the subscriptions made in
Honolulu by Chinese and japanese to-
wards the general fund. This feature
had not been lost sight of when the
Governor was preparing his report.
The items We're all voted on singly
and all passed as In the Governors
report.
1t was especially designated In dis
tributing the remainder OF the fund
that 1t was not to be used for re-
habilitation purposes. but purely for
relief.
The Governor stated that the COM
mittee might be discharged from its
duties, and he thought that Territorial
Auditor Fisher would audit the ac-
counts of Treasurer Peck. on motion
OF Mr., Cooke a vote OF thanks was ex-
tended to Mr.. Peck for his services.
