The report on Lihue Hospital show
ed everything to be in splendid shape,

! over the expenditures. The usual
number of patients We're cared for
during the month OF October.
MUST UNDERSTAND ENGLISH.
The medical examiners reported that
W. f.. Taketa had passed the requir-
ed examination. and he was recon-
mended for n certificate. DIR. Cooper
called attention to the fact that If
Americans went to Japan, France or
Germany, or other foreign countries,
the applicant would be compelled to
take the examination in the language
of the country. He thought that
therefore the examinations here should
be held in English, and moved that
hereafter the board require such
knowledge of the English language.
Mr. Dole suggested that in a country
like Hawaii. where there were so many
different languages spoken, such re-
qurement should not be enforced. IT
appeared that rule had already been
adopted in this connection, and the
secretary was instructed to notify the
chairman of the board of medical eX-
amners that in the future an official
Interpreter should be employed.
SEWER CONNECTIONS NEEDED.
: Plumbing Inspector Keen called at
tention to the necessity of more sewer
connections at the Waikiki end of King
street, particularly that part beyond
Piikoi street He says the odor from
{, the manholes at this point is very
strong. due to lack of ventilation and
:. of sewerage, both due to insufficient
4, number of connections to houses in this
district. Inspector Keen advised tn,
