STANDING COMMITTEES.

provides that all receipts collecteu as
hospital tax be turned into the treas
ury as a special deposit subject to the
order Of the trustees. The committee
recommend the bill to passage. |
Moved that the report be adopted.
Rep. Ashford said he had COM
plant against the hospital and that
was that when men were brought
there In extremis and requiring inn
mediate attention, instead of being
received, the authorities began to
parley, and required written guar
antee that they would be paid. That
was not humane nor just. He moved
the report be laid on the table for
consideration with the bill. He was
not opposed however to the principle
of the bill.
Noble Thurston considered the
members proposition totally out of
order, as 1t had absolutely nothing to
do with this bill. He could bring in
q bill if ne wished to regulate the re-
ceiviug of patients. He was not
otherwise out of sympathy with the
remarks of the member.
Minister Widemann favored the
adoption of the report.
Rep. Ashford was glad that the
Noble from Maui and he agreed on
both points, the difference being
merely as to the opportunism Of his
suggestion. He wished to insert q
proViso that no money be paid to the
hospital unless the Minister is salts
fled that no patients needing atten-
ton are refused admission.
Rep. Smith held that the PROPOSE
ton of Rep. Ashford should be made
the subject of a separate bill, and one
which would have to be carefully
drawn. The state of facts referred to
had often been commented upon, but
the subject was very complex one.
The hospital might be overrun by
paupers from other countries sent
down here with the idea of being sup
ported here. The proposition should
not be tackled Oh as a rider to this
bill.
Minister Widemann said the inten
ton of the amendment was good
one, but it would cast burden on
the hospital which it could not at
present bear.
The motion to lay the report on the
OCiO9 IOobi 1tOp <AoLAOAN w ioliOA
to offer another amendment.
The President ruled that after the
question was once put no other
amendment could be entertained until
after all motions before the House
had been acted upon.
Rep. Ashford appealed.
Noble Thurston was sorry to have
to oppose the ruling of the Chair.
That ruling was in the interest of
saving time as he did not believe the
House was disposed to pass any
amendment, but the ruling was
nevertheless wrong, the previous
question not having been moved.
The Presidents ruling was not sus-
tanned.
Rep. Ashford moved as an amend
ment that the bill be referred to the
Sanitary Committee with instruc-
tions to report a bill embodying the
principle which he desired to incor-
porate into the law.
Noble Thurston was entirely op-
posed 10 the amendment. Let the
member bring in his own bill and not
put it on the Sanitary Committee
to do.
The amendment was lost.
The report of the committee was
adopted and Saturday set for the third
reading of the bill.
