Your Public Lands Committee, to
which was referred Senate Communi-
cation No 10 from Mrs. Sarah b. Hen
ny. relative to her Right Of Purchase
Lease No. 1877 for lot at Kaohe, Pa
hoa, Puma, Hawaii, beg leave to re-
port as follows:
Your Committee have Intercepted
the Commissioner of Public Lands
and Sub-Agent williams Of the First
Land District and find that Mr. Will
liams had failed to report to the Com
missioner the matter involved herein.
The evidence shows that Mrs. Henry
has fulfilled the conditions required to
give her patent to the lot in question,
and that upon her making certain
proofs required by law to be made
and paying in the cash payment due,
she is entitled to the grant.
THE Commissioner of Public Lands
so admitted and stated and your COM
mittee feel that Mrs. Henry will be
! given every assistance by the Public
Lands department. to obtain her rights.
your Committee, from the testimo-
ny, find that Mr.. Williams has not
proper understanding of the duties Of
his Office and his acts and manner in
dictate that he does not accord those
having business relations with his Of
flee the courtesy and consideration due
! them. In fact, he is rude, curt and
unmannerly and we recommend that
the Commissioner severely censure
| him in that respect, and instruct him
that he is a servant of the people and
should politely answer questions ask
ed by land holders and others having
relations with the department. that
he is there for that purpose and should
encourage the business of his Office
by explaining to tenants fully their
rights and duties and to assist them
by so doing in perfecting their claims
under the law"
