Under pay of Government physici
ans, Senator Warehouse said he
thought 1861 was too much to pay
the doctors and asked that the item be
referred to committee.
Minister Smith reviewed the policy
of the Government to see to it that
all people, especially Hawaiians,
should have proper medical attend
ance. The physicians had done a
great deal OF good work. He was
sorry the Board of Health had not its
report at hand to give proof of what
had been done. There were some
physicians who did not follow out
their duty as they should, but as a
whole they were faithful. He did not
believe it was time to do away with
the system.
Senator Waterhouse said he had
hoped the Board of Health would
recommend doing away with this
item. Here was good opportunity
for economy.
Senator Baldwin did not consider it
physicians, as the system assured a
good class of physicians in the outside
districts.
Mr.. Waterhouse Withdrew his mo
ton, expressing the hope that at the
next session a bill would ne intro
duced doing away with this large pay
roll. The item passed as read, $50, 900.
