bAZARE9'PO
REQUEST FOR PLANS OF HOUSES
FOR LEPERS IN HAWAII
TRANSMITTED FROM WASH
TON.

A letter to a head of department in
Washington from a large concern in
the States of Sinaloa, Mexico, has be
referred to the Governor of Hawaii
for an answer. 1t states that the
firm has been commissioned by the
Governor of Sinaloa to procure plans
and specifications of wooden cottages
erected by the United States in the
Sandwich Islands or other tropical
countries for the use of lepers."
The Governor of Sinaloa, the let
ter explains, wishes to erect a laz-
arctic on one of the coast islands
fronting Sinaloa and wishes to avail
himself of the experience of the Uni
ted States in the way of providing
shelter for the unfortunates."
Plans and specifications are wanted
of the portable houses manufactured
on the western coast and knocked
down for shipment to the Hawaiian
beg pardon, Sandwich-Islands.
Although, unfortunately, there are
no cottages for lepers erected by the
United States in these islands-nor
readymade houses imported from the
western coast for eighty or ninety
years past-yet the Government of
Hawaii is enabled to send to the
Mexican firm blue prints of plans
and specifications of commodious
houses built for Hawaiis unfortun-
ates by the aforesaid Government of
Hawaii They will be in the out
going mail.

however, is who will reminisce about

One thing Stack forgot, when he was

certainly deserve credit for amateur
