REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ACCOUNTS.

special order of the day.
HAWAIIAN BOARD OF HEALTH.
Second reading of an Act to regulate the
Hawaiian Board of Health.
Mr. Kaunamano moved the bill be con-
sidered section by section, Agreed to.
Section. l. His Majesty the King shall
az. int five native Hawaiians to be Ha-
waiian Board of Health, and His Majesty
the King shall appoint one of them to be
President of said Board and all of said
Board shall be persons skilled in the Prac-

pleasure.
Mr.. Kauhamano said the old law only
provided for three members on the Board.
1t had been dead letter perhaps for that
reason. 1t was now changed to five.
Mr.. Kalua moved to strike out, land all
of said Board shall be persons skilled IN the
practice of native medicine"
Mr.. Kaai moved the section pass as in
the bill.
Mr.. Dole moved to strike out the word
native" before medicine"
Mr.. Thurston thought there ought not
be two Boards of Health; there would be
sure to be a confliction. 1t provides for a
local Board in Honolulu and a Board OF
three in each taxation district. That would
make 6S commissioners, and it was quite
likely they would want to be paid for their
services If they cut adrift from the pres

Mr.. AhOlo said he thought these Boards
would not serve for nothing, and an appro-
priation would have to be made for them
He was in favor of the section as in the bill
The Board of Health grants licenses to
white practitioners. and 1t would be proper
to license a good many Hawaiian prac'
titioners. A little while ago man in &
very bad condition was taken to the Wal
luku Hospital, but the doctor said he could
