Attorney General for his opinion on the
question, Mr.. Dole stated that at the
time the measure for the aid of hos
pitfalls was before the Legislature, he
had been requested tp pass upon the
matter and had ruled What such appro-
priation was legal. and the Legislature
had a perfect right to extend any aid
1t saw fit to public institutions. lie
had examined the charter OF the
Queens Hospital, and could not see
wherein the Legislature did not have
the right to create a public hospital.
The appropriation was made on con-
dition that all races be treated alike at
the hospital and this should be done.
"All we do, then, is to pay them?"
asked Mr.. Sloggett.
Yes" responded Mr.. Dole, unless
some one gets out an injunction to pre-
vent it,"
The matter was finally adjusted by
the adoption of the following motion
by MIR. Dole: THAT all hospitals which
receive aid through the medium OF the
Board of Health shall make monthly
reports to the Board Of Health of r.
ceipts and expenditures, and of all
work done"

ACCEPTANCES RECEIVED.
The Board of Health received accep-
tances from the various officials appoint
ed at the last meeting. Among them
were letters from DR.. Malster and f. II.
Kibey of the Insane Hospital, from DR..
c. IL. Douglas, the Government dispen-
ser, and from DIR. a. Moritz of Molokai.
The latter asked that his commission
be dated from July lst as he has been
acting in that position since that date.
DR.. Bond sent his acceptance of the
position of Government physician at
North Kohala, but said he must refuse
the appointment for the south district.
In his letter he stated that the had tried
to take care of both districts in the past,
bLI Dbt Dttll ullSutttSSlul, as IL TtuIleu
more time than he had at his disposal.
OTHER MATTERS CONSIDERED.
An Inmate of the Insane Hospital, who
has been on parole for the past month,
was ordered discharged on recommended
ton of DIR. Walter. He is perfectly harm
less and wishes to return to his Iamily in
California where his parents live. He has
money in one of the banks which he cam
not get until officially proven sane, and
in the meantime II is claimed that his
family is left in destitute circumstances.
The board rendered a vote of thanks
to Mr.. Baldwin, who offered to provide
a sewer system for the Baldwin home.
Owing to the scarcity of water -'.e offer
could not be accented.
The first effect of the refusal OF the
! Wilder Steamship Company to accept
orders for passage made by the board
was made apparent in a communication
calling attention to the fact that sheriffs
from the other Islands bringing insane
patients to Honolulu were compelled to
pay passage money out of their own
pockets. The treasurer has made a rul-
ing that he would not accept these war;
rants as cash from the steamship COM
pany, which left the board In very Pc
culiar position. 1t was decided II pos
sble to make arrangements with other
steamship companies for transportation.
The board passed n resolution of thanks
to DR.. Walters and DIR. Herbert for their
conscientious services at the Insane Hos
pital. The change is to be made today.
The examining board for the leper set
tlement was selected. to be composed of
the medical members, SloEgett, Cooper.
