PUBLIC HEALTH ACT
BALDWIN RECOMMENDS
LAYING ON The TABLE
Senate and House Bills Pass Third
Reading---Achi Touches a Sore
Spot Again---0ther Senate
Matters.

When the Senate met yesterday af- |
ternoon, Messrs. Kanuha and Baldwin
were at once ready with long reports
which they had kept up their sleeves
during the day and which made the
Journal clerk tear his hair In despair.
Mr.. Kanuha was, the first to start the
ball rolling. His report was for the
Committee on Public Health and Edu-
cation on Senate bill IS relating to the
public health. After recommending a
hundred or more amendments, the re-
port. signed by Messrs. Kalauokalani
and Kanuha, asks for the passage OF
the bill.
This done, Mr.. Baldwin introduced
his minority report, recommending
that the bill be laid on the table.
Among other reasons for this recon-
mendation, he gives the following:
"a few OF the features Of the bill
may present improvements over exist
ing law relating to the Board OF Health
and the regulation Of sanitary mat
ters. but there is much in It that APP
pears Objectionable and not in the pub.
lie interest. 1t is very faulty drawn.
"In the first place the Organic Act
requires that each law shall embrace
one subject which shall be expressed
in its title and the subject Of this bill
a. expressed in its title Is solely to
repeal certain laws but in its body 1t
not only provides for the repeal OF
those laws but embraces a large num-
Der OF other provisions Of a radical ma
ture.
among the laws sought to be re-
pealed are Chapter LXNII of the Laws
Of 1892 to regulate the practice OF dem
tistry. Act 60 OF the Laws OF 1892, to
regulate the practice Of medicine and
the existing laws providing for the es-
tablishing and defining the powers OF
the Board Of Health.
1.-THE proposed law Is complex, vague
and contradictory in many of its pro-
visions"
Both these reports were laid on tho
table to be considered with the bill on
Wednesday.
Mr.. Baldwin then presented the fol-
lowing petition which vas laid on tho
table to be taken up with the Appro
priation bill:
To the Senators of the Territory CT
