Supt McVeigh Of the leper settlement
was also present
Kaiu Hikiau wanted her husband to
come to the settlement as kokua, but
the petition was denied, upon the rec
smmendatlon of MIR. McVeigh. He re-

made to one candidate who had pre-
scented simply certificate from a med

j. Paakaula made a demand upon
President Sloggett for the approval OF
his voucher for extra services during
the plague epidemic. An appropriation
of $50 has been made by the legisla-
ture, but the auditor required an ap-
proved voucher from the Board of
Health. Paakaula based his claim on
the ruling made by Attorney General
Dole in the Wilcox matter. President
Sioggett stated that he would refuse to
approve the voucher, President Wood
having also declined to do so. Mr.. Dole
stated that he had conferred with Gov.
Dole, Mr.. Cathcart and Mr.. Douthitt in
regard to the Wilcox claim and they
had been doubtful of it's legality. He
was still of the opinion that the legis-
lature could appropriate what it wish
ed, but that the President of the Board
OF Health could not be compelled to
vouch for something not true. DR..
Sloggett stated that this new
claimant had been employed at the dis
pensary when the plague broke out,
and when the dispensary was closed,
had been sent to Kalihi to help there.
He had drawn not only his salary but
rations, and was not entitled to any
thing further. On motion the letter
was laid on the table.
