  • Kalaupapa Settlement Revitalization Period, 1931-1938
    X. KALAUPAPA SETTLEMENT REVITALIZATION, 1931-1938 A. Creation of Board of Hospitals and Settlement BY 1929 conditions at Kalaupapa were sti I I considered unsatisfactory. Governor Lawrence M. Judd of the Territory of Hawaii appointed an Advisory Commission on Leprosy to investigate the situation, study the status of the leprosy control program in Hawaii, and make suggestions for improvement. The resulting report made several specific recommendations : (1) establishment of a hospital for the treatment of leprosy patients in or near a medical center; (2) no more compulsory segregation of patients at Kalaupapa (the effect of banning punitive segregation was to eliminate the stigma of the settlement as a penal institution); (3) more research on susceptibility to the disease; and most important, (4) development of a program of social welfare, that would increase the happiness of the patients and their families. The commission also offered a plan for the reorganization of leprosy affairs under the territorial government. Responsibility for the public health program for leprosy had rested with the Board of Health from 1865 to 1931. As a result of the Judd Commission findings that there was dissatisfaction with and misunderstanding of the administration of the leprosy program, the 1931 legislature created a separate Board of Leper Hospitals and Settlement to function as a policy-making agency and established the position of General Superintendent as its administrative official. (The legislature transferred the program back to the Board of Health in 1949.) The Board of Hospitals and Settlement, as it was later called, which administered the territory’s leprosy program from 1931 to 1949, was a group of five citizens serving without pay, at least two of whom had to be doctors.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical Society of Colorado VOL. VIII Denver, Colorado, January, 1931 No. 1 The Corning of the Automobile and Improved Roads to Colorado I1EROY R. IIAFBK Perhaps no de-veloprnent in Colora<lo history has been more far-reaching in its effects than the introcluetion of the automobile and the consequent revolution in transportation and road making. 'rhat the automobile ancl improved roads seem so commonplace to­ day need not blind us 1o the great historical significance of these l'.hanges. The first "steam wagon,'' called the "Prairie Motor," headed for Denver in ,July, 1862. It might br called an automobile or it might be called a locomotive, lint it nnrlertook to travel the dirt roads and move under its own power. General J. R. Brown con­ eeived the i<lra of this nnique vehicle for transportation across the plains to Colorarlo, and gave his order to tlie "rovelty Iron Works in Tew York. Eighteen months were necessary for the building of the machine and the cost was $12,000. In due time it was shipped to Nebraska City, where the over­ land journey was to begin. Herc it was accorded a grand recep- 1ion. A banquet " ·as tendt>re<l the promoters of the plan and a pleasure trip through the eity 1yas arranged. A string of road wagons couplt>d to the steam 1rngon were filled with enthusiasts for the ''Prairie :.'\Iotor'' an(l were drawn around thr city.
