bage crematory 1920. The Board wants
the above appropriation changed to SUI
perintendent of Public Works. but we
believe 1t will only amount to more trou-
Bile on said officer, as he has all he can
attend to. We recommend that the
amount may be passed as In the bill.
9. Item $40, Honolulu Dispensary. 81, 600.
The Board believes that this institution
could be run with only $500 during the
next two years. We therefore recon-
mend the item to be passed at $500.
10. Item 541, Koloa hospital $1,000. This
hospital is not transferred to trustees,
and belongs to the Government. We rec
ommend that the item may be passed as
in the bill.
II. Items 542 to SAC. inclusive: subsidies
to different hospitals. We ask that the
above amounts may be laid until We get
an opinion from the Attorney General in
regard to a resolution passed by this
Senate on May "a, 1901. in regard to the
subsidy to the Queens Hospital

I have the honor to acknowledge re-
ceipt of the following resolution
Resolved, That the Attorney Gen is
hereby requested to inform this House
whether we can appropriate money to
aid the Queens Hospital. or other insti-
tutions, OF not.
l have examined the charter bylaws
and regulations of the Queens Hospital.
The charter is drawn on the broadest
and most liberal lines. It is not obpox-
ious to the provision in the Organic Act,
prohibiting appropriations of public mon
eys for sectarian purposes 1t is main
tanned for the relief of INDECENT, sick
and disabled people of the Hawaiian
kingdom, well as of such foreigners
and others as may desire to avail them
selves of its benefits. Il Is one of the
which the Territory, under section IS Of
the Organic Act is especially authorized
to incur indebtedness. I think that the
Legislature has power to make an appro-
priation In aid of this charity.
The answer to the question asked me
as to whether the Legislature has pow
er to aid other Institutions, depends up
on the nature of the institution. 1 am,
