mond, Dr. Cooper, Il. l.. Dole and IL.
| c. Winston, of the board, and Execu-
| tive officer Pratt were present. The

cinated He believed that as the man
had been at Lihue for two months, he
must have received the infection In,
clothing or letters received.
A letter was also received from DR.,
Goodhue stating that the Koloa plan
taton absolutely refused to enter into
an agreement with the Board OF
Health for the maintenance of the
boards hospital near the plantation
DR.. Goodhue suggested that the hospf-
tai be closed until such time as a pa
tent needed treatment there. In such
a case he said that temporary nurses
conld be obtained for from 50 to $40
a week When the patient was out
OF the hospital 1t could be closed, and
this would materially cut down the
maintenance expense. AS 1t was the.
property of the board. no expense
would be attached to the mere hold
ing of the place. The board acted
favorably on DR.. Goodhue's suggestion.
The examining board of the board
reported favorably on the application
of DR.. C. Fl. Douglas for a license to
practice medicine. and Treasurer Ian
sing will be asked to issue the license
accordingly
