Honolulu. Oct. 80, 1901.
Secretary Board of Health, City:
Dear Sir-The Queens Hospital for
some time has not received any moneys
| from the Board of Health, as has forj-
merly been the case.
Appropriations We're made for the
assistance of the various hospitals, and
we have not had a statement as to
the reason for the non-payment of
these appropriations. We understand,
| however, that it is necessary that GER
| tain conditions be complied with be-
| fore payments are made, and L would
| therefore request that you state to us
what these conditions and require
ments are. Yours truly,
QUEENS HOSPITAL.
BY HENRY WAREHOUSE.
Treasurer.
E. A Mott-Smith, chairman of the
committee to whom the matter was re-
ferred, reported that he had examined
| into the regulations of the Waimea
Hospital and found that free trea tment
was furnished to injured persons, but
reports had not been made as requested.
He said there was a question whether
| they should get back moneys if they
made reports for that time, and this
matter was referred to the board as
whole Though the law requires that
| the Board of Health shall have general
supervision of the government hospi-
tails, that body is not likely to take
actual charge of these institutions, or in
fact do anything but require monthly
reports and compliance to the rule, per-
hitting people of all nationalities to re-
ceive the benefit
The Lihue Hospital sent in reports

which will make possible the payment
of the subsidy to it. The report for
ISeptember showed receipts of $3S62O and
expenditures, 1856.
