The problem of assisting immigrants both national and foreign, who may have just arrived and the laborers established in the valley of the Amazon, is met by the installation of emigrant-hotels in Belém, in Manáos and in the Territory of the Acre, by the construction of hospitals in the Interior and by the creation of agricultural colonies adjacent to such hospitals. The hotels for the reception of immigrants shall follow the rule and be guided in their installation by that of the Ilha das Flores in Rio de Janeiro, that latter being considered a Model Institution, at the same time the modifications exacted by the conditions of each particular case, that of Belém having sufficient capacity to accommodate 1,500 immigrants; that of Manáos 1,200 and that of Acre 800. Close to each of these immigrant-quarters, a store-house will be erected which shall contain all kinds of special tools and utensils employed in the India rubber industry, the which will be sold to the immigrants, who desire to buy them at strictly cost price. The families of both national and foreign immigrants who do not expressly declare that they prefer another destination will be sent to the National Fazendas (ranches) of the Rio Branco, where they will be located and distributed among the different colonial centres in the different colonies. The hospitals in the Interior are created with a view of providing the inhabitants of the Amazon valley with a centre to which they may have recourse and where they may be treated, acquire medicine and protect themselves against contagious diseases. The points selected for these are Boa Vista of the Rio Branco, S.

Each hospital will have accommodation for 100 sick people and will be divided into 5 pavillions, one of these latter being constructed with all the requisites necessary for the isolation of infectious diseases; there will also be a disinfecting house, a laboratory for chemical and microbiologic diagnosis, rooms for surgical operations and for autopsies, consulting rooms and pharmacy. There will also be a service of propaganda of the habits and hygienic measures necessary for the laborers who work and live in the Amazonian valley.
