Mossman Qnd) then presented a
long report on the Board of Health
lows:
Honolulu, May "a, 1901.
Hon. J. A. Akina, Speaker House of Rep
resentatives.
Sir: Your Committee on Public Health
and Education to whom was referred
the items for salaries and pay rolls un.
der the Board of Health beg leave tc
present the following report and recon-
mendations, to wit:
Your committee are of the opinion thai
the item for salary of the president OF
the Board of Health, 1920, should BIZ
stricken out, as section 2, Act Is of the
Laws of 1893, forbids the payment OF
such salary. The committee thinks thai
it would be proper to pay the head OF
able salary in order that he may devote
of the office, but the law forbIds it, ant
We have no choice in the matter.
Your committee recommends the fol
lowing salaries to be stricken out on tht
score of great necessity for strict econo
my, as your committee now believes tina
the duties now assigned to these office:
and intended for the office of purchas
ing agent could be economically perform
ed by the remaining officers of the de
partment. who are no doubt quite will
ing to perform them as was the cas-
when the Board of Health has les:
money to spend, and there We're not Sc
many high-salaried officers on the pay
rolls of the Department. The following
are the salaries to be stricken out
Salary of Executive officer IS. 4e
Salary of City Sanitary Officer 49, 42N
Bacteriologist and Pathologist 4.SV
Sanitary Inspectors at s2,4oo ........ 72E
Stenographer observation-disclosures. lS9
Purchasing Agent .................. 400
Inspector of Plumbing .............. $3.50
With the lack of money for Govern
ment expenses under present conditions
your committee thinks that these office:
could be safely dispensed with, and the
money asked for them could be spent
for repairs to public roads.
Your committee recommends the fol
lowing changes to the items enumerat'
ed hereafter:
Salary of Secretary ........... 800
The office is an important one ano
Should be given salary equal to the
chief clerks of departments of like i'm
portance.
AS the clerical work of the Department
would increase after the offices above
enumerated are abolished, your commit
tee would recommend the following item
be inserted after salary of secretary, ano
the salary for same to be increased, VIZ
Salary of Assistant Clerk. ...s2,4OO
Under pay of Government physicians,
your committee recommends the follow
ing changes, viz:
Physician for Honolulu. $3,6V
From what your committee has seen OF
the work at the Honolulu dispensary, we
think one physician is needed instead OF
two at $2,400 each, or $4,000 for both.
Item Tor physician for Waianae should
be reduced from $1,000 to $3.50. like that
of Eva, as the district is small.
In item for physician for Lahaina an
increase is recommended from S2.160, as
in the bill, to s., 400.
Item for physician at Kihei Is reduced
from 1880 to sl,440, as the work Is NJ
more arduous than that of the adjoining
district of Makawao.
A new item to read physician for SouIh
Kohala and Waimea, $1,000, is recon-
as the district is in need of med
ical service.
Item for North Hilo, $500, is reduced
to $3.50. A new item to read physician
for Olaa, Hawaii, is recommended, anu
the item for Puma is amended to read:
Physician for Puma ............ 1920
Under pay roll general expenses, your
committee recommends the folloWihs
changes, viz:
Meat Inspector and Yeterina-
rian at $50 .............SS,6 W
Three sanitary inspectors at $3.50, go
$50, be changed to read:
