Under suspension Of rules Rep. Ka-

luton:
Resolved, That the Sanitary Com

meet and confer with the Board OF
Health to find il there is any truth in
,he proposed scale of prices to be
charged by the doctors for their SER
vices, as reported 10 have been adopted
at q recent meeting of the doctors in
session.
Rep. Kamauoha explained that if
the report was true, medical aid would
be out of the question for a great many
people. The License bill had been un-
DER the consideration of the House and
the proposed license fee on doctors had
been stricken out. One doctor had told
the members that the matter of fees
was simply a fabrication Of the news
papers and that there was absolutely
no truth in the thing at all. 1t was the
opinion of Rep. KamauOha that the !
Sanitary Committee should confer with !
the Board of Health to seek informa- |
ton as to whether the doctors intend |
ed charging the proposed fees and to

matter. Resolution unanimously |
