Rep. Kaulukou moved the report
be received and laid on the table for
consideration with the Appropriation
Bill. He would not favor its adop-
ton because he considered the
committee had not used proper dis
elimination in apportioning the
salaries. The doctor ut Hilo was
very experienced and skilful, while
the one at Lahaina was young and
inexperienced.
Rep. Hayselden said the member
for Hilo was mistaken. The COM
mittee had exercised no partiality,
but allotted the salaries according to
the work. The Lahaina doctor had
larger district and greater expenses
than the doctor at Hilo, and was
witllal extremely popular with both
natives and foreigners. Under an
amendment made to the appropria-
ton by Hon. w. o. Smith last ses-
sion, natives and even naturalized
subjects claimed exemption from
medical charges. The doctor at
Hilo with $500 would, from his
more extensive private practice, have
larger income than the one at La
haina with $1,000.
Rep. Castle found fault with the
report for its failure to throw light
on some of the items which the
house should have. The Board of
Health should be literally treated,
but the house should have full in
formation. There was no inform
alton in the report as to what the
item for building hospitals was for.
Rep. Hayselden said one reason
for the reduction in the expenses of
the Board of Health was the trans
fer of STRENGTHENING to the Interior
Department. Regarding the build
ing and maintenance of hospitals it
was $40, 900 last period, but it was
put at $4,000 in this sessions bill.
More than the former amount was
expended, owing to the work con-
nected with the Kapiolani Home.
AS there was an item of $4,000
direct for the Home, the committee
considered the original item might
be reduced as recommended.
The President, as several men,
bers rose to speak, said the object
of tabling matter was to save dis
cussion for the time being. These
matters would all be discussed
again, and the time of the house
might be saved now.
Rep. Aholo agreed with the Presi-
dent, but said it was his fault in not
stopping the discussion. At the
same time, as others had been
allowed to transgress, he hoped the
chair would not check him too sharply.
He then told of a case in which the
Lahaina doctor had made himself
popular by his wise treatment, and
he thought the remarks of the hon.
member for Hilo were uncalled for.
The report was laid on the table.
RESOLUTIONS.
Rep. Thurston moved resolution
that the Minister of Interior be in
structed to stop the sale of a lease
of land advertised to take place to-
morrow. He gave his reasons fo1
the resolution, the principal one O.
which was that the 1850 acres a
Hakalau, advertised, should be re
tained by the Government for tn
purposes of the homestead law
From the answer made by the Min
lster the other day, and outside in
formation, he judged that Theo. II
Davies & Co. considered they ha
an equitable claim on the land an
should be allowed 10 bid it in, but
as he regarded it, that firm ha
taken an ordinary business risk wit
its mortgage, and the Governmer
should not lock up valuable Ian
suitable for settlement under
twenty years. lease.
. Rep. Kalua supported the resoll
ton. The Homestead Act passe
