terday to consider the selection of men
to fill the positions of dispensary physi-
clan and assistant, President Raymond
said that one member had asked that
said he was against this. He believed
| in sessions being open. Perhaps he
said, in extraordinary cases a secret
session might be wise but in choosing
employees, open and above board was
| the best way
| Letters of application we're read from
the following who sought to obtain the
positions: Charles A. Peterson, C. E.
| Camp, Robert Myers, A. N. Sinclair, E.
c. Waterhou,se, Henry w. Howard, C.
L. Garvin. GIN ballot, Myers name be-
| ing considered first, he was unanimous
| ly elected, as agreed on beforehand.
| Myers will be the inside physician of
the dispensaiy and will also continue
his duties as examining physician I'M
der the Act to Mitigate. Dr. Sinclair
was given the job of outside physician
OF the dispensary by a vote of four.
One member voted for Dr. Garvin and
another for DIR. Howard
! The question OF filling the position of
bacteriologist lately held by DR. Hoff-
man was discussed. DIR. Raymond said
that he believed there should be no
bacteriologist appointed at present. He
said that the board had gathered little
| fruit from the work of the bacteriolo-
gists of the past. The board had but
| trifling data in possession regarding
archaeological examinations. One bac-
teriologist paid by the board had been
unjust enough to withhold the results
| of his study gained under the board s
pay. Raymond said that the job had
been a sineeure. He said that since
the United States had acquired Hawaii
and the Philippines it had become in
cumbent upon the United States to
thoroughly look into the disease of
| Ieprosy. He believed that thorough
psychologists should be appointed
with nothing else to do but investigate
lleprosy.
| Il believe said DR.. Raymond, that
the United States Surgeon General will
appoint such bacteriologist This
Board of Health should present to him
and to the Legislature the necessity of
such appointment. We can carry out
the duties performed by our bacteriolo-
gists of the past without expense to
the Territory
| Dr. Emerson differed with Raymond
as to the statement that the job had
always been a sinecure. Dr. Emerson
wanted the expression modified on the
records of the board. DIR. Raymond
| explained that he had referred TO DR..
Arnig, who is now in Germany and who
had held the position of bacteriologist
and after advertising himself in the
medical journals of the world had left
no record with the Hawaiian Board of
Health.
| DR.. Emerson said that he received
this explanation but wanted the board
to- consider carefully before it bound
itself to any policy in regard to the
study of lelprosy. He thought they
should be cautious in turning over this
matter to the United States.
After some discussion the board de-
clared itself in favor of keeping the
position vacant.
DR.. Monsalrat was appointed meat
inspector and veterinarian at a salary
of two hundred dollars month. Mon
sarrat was The only applicant for the
position.
DR.. Pratt, executive officer of the
board, read the following recommends
lions, which were adopted by the board
and made law:
