Rep. keau wanted 10 make the
item $4,000, and have the doctor
treat all people free.
Minister Gibson spoke of the valu-
able work being done by the Jap
anese, saying that, although it could
not be said that anybody was per-
manently cured, yet undoubtedly
lives had been extended and suffer-
ing prevented by this doctor.

loa.. ........,............ 2.40O

Passed.
Rep. Wight moved to reconsider
the vote for Hamakua and North
and South Kohala. He did not OBJ
ject to 81, 900 when voted, but when
he saw long list at $2,400 and
$4,000, he thought there should be
an even distribution. The motion
carried, and then the same member
moved $4,000 for the Hamakua
physician.

Physician, Molokai.. ......... $4,000
Rep. Hayselden said there was
already physician there-Dr. Mou-
ritz, of the leper settlement, Kala-
wac.
Rep. Dole was in favor of keeping
good physician at Kalawao. That
was the sickest district in all the
islands, and to divide a physician
between Kalawao and the rest of the
island was too mean.
Rep. Brown thought Molokai
should have separate physician
from the settlement. 1t was not
very nice to have the doctor to the
lepers go among other people, and
the doctor could not study the dis
ease or alleviate suffering in the set
Element if he only visited there once
a month.
Minister Gibson recalled the house
to the fact that in 1868 he had adj
vocated the stationing of skilful
physician at Kalawao at $4,000 a
year, but no doctor could be got to
stay there all the time. DR.. Mouritz
was most capable physician, but
he only accepted $4,000 year on
condition that he could reside part
of the time away from the settle
ment. Perhaps he could be induced
ito remain in the settlement con-
.stantly for $4,000. He was in favor
of voting salary for a doctor for
the rest of the island, and would
move further on for physician at
the leper settlement.
The item passed.
Physician, Kalawao, to reside
there permanently. $4,000
Rep. Kaunamano was in favor OF
allowing the matter to remain as it
was, giving the physician $4,000 a
year from the Board and letting hin
go abroad for a change of air occa.
sionally. 1t was now said the dis
ease was not contagious till after
the patient was dead, Father Damien
being of that opinion.
Rep. Dickey was in favor of the
item.
Rep. Dole said it did not near
that the doctor should never be
allowed to come to Honolulu or &C
beyond the bounds of the settle
ment.
The item passed.
Minister Gibson moved to insert
Medicines for free distribution. 10000
Passed.
Noble Cleghorn moved the com
mi.tee rise, which carried, and the
house adopted the report and ther
adjourned, at 1850, till 10 o'clocl
Tomorrow.
