There is also provision made for the
payment of $500 salary to the ply
stefan in charge of Maternity Home" AS
the Maternity Home is a private institu-
ton. DIR. Russell has wandered into pas
lures where it is not necessary for the
Board to take n hand In affairs. He has
also provided in another part of the bill
to have the Maternity Home placed I'M
der the control of the Board along with
the Leper Settlement, Insane Asylum,
archaeological and Analytical Stations.
The Maternity Home not being n Gov
eminent institution, the officers govern
ing that admirable institution will evil
IDENTIFY put out the Hands on sign.
The curious thing about the bill Is
that although 1t provides that the Pres
ident and other members of the Board
shall be appointed by the Governor by
and with the consent and advice of the
Senate" yet the first Board of Health Is
to be appointed entirely by the Senate
Further along in the bill it is provided
that a committee shall be appointed by
the Governor consisting of three MEM
bers OF the Senate, who shall be consti-
tuted a body to organize the Board OF
Health. and designate the first presi-
dent thereof" contrary to the first pro-
vision, unless the trainers of the meas
ure wished to have a dead cinch" on
the entire matter of appointing the
members. Section 40 of the bill, provld-
Ing for the appointment of the first pres
ident and members of the Board of
Health by COMMITTED of the Senate
is contrary to the Organic Act. section
so. which provides THAT the Governor
shall appoint the Attorney General.
Treasurer. Commissioner of Public
Lands, Commissioner of Agriculture and
Forestry. Superintendent of Public
Works, . Board of Prison inspect
ors, Board of Registration, and any 9TH
err Boards of public character that may
be created by law"
The section of the bin which Is at va
Rance with this provision is as follows:
Section 40. Immediately upon the pas
sage and approval of this Act there shan
be appointed by the Governor with the
advice and consent of the Legislature, ii
committee, consisting of three members
of the Senate, who shall, for the pur-
pose of organizing and putting into oper-
alton the Health Department and service
according to the provisions of, this Act,
take temporary charge of the Health
Department and service, and receive
f,yA I...,- g.
Health of the Territory, all the proper
ty. paraphernala, books, records, med!-
cines, instruments and all other mat
tiers and things connected with the de-
partment of sad Board of Health. or
under its control. Such committee shall
proceed to organize the department of
the Board of Health, designate the first
President thereof and the sanitary OH
GERS and members OF the Board or a
Commissioner pro TEN, and shall eXer-
else all the duties. and possess all TIE
powers of such Board, until the same
shall be duly organized In the manner
herein provided. They shall have power
to nbrogate and formulate rules and
regulations for the conduct thereof as
such Board shall deem necessary. All
instruments, materials and other proper
~ of the Territory, relating or pertain
ing to those branches of science, ana
now In the possession or under the con-
troll of the Board OF Health heretofore
existing, or any member thereof or any
other person or persons. shall be deliver
ed to the Board of Health hereby estaD-
lished for the use and benefit of such
station
DIR. Russell has an idea that the Board
OF Health should be made up of medcos
entirely and that laymen have no par
ticular right In tho fellowship. The pro-
visions for the president OF the Board
are nicely defined, but a doctor with the
qualifications set forth Is not easy to get
hold of, and physicians cannot be inn
ported for membership on the Board. as
they must he citizens OF the Territory.
A kahuna has no show on the Board, as
he Is not graduate OF n recognized
university or medical college, nor does
the native kahuna possess the right 20
afiiN the B,A, or BS. or both. Section
