wagons will not be operated in time
to come under this bill. The report was
signed by the Oahu members, and was
at once adopted.
HEALTH INSPECTORS PASS.
Fernandez called up the reports on
the Fish Inspection but Haia was not
ready to report and so the considera-
ton of the item for sanitary inspec-
tors, Honolulu, $1,000, was taken up.
The committee, Fernandez, Haia and
Kumalae reported that the inspectors
were employed as well in disinfecting
and nursing when needed and that it
was inpracticable to separate the item
into specific salaries as efficiency and
length Of service had to be recognized.
The item was passed at $1,000, attention
being called to the fact that this was
recommended by the Chamber of Com
merce. The same committee rendered
a similar report on the item pay of in
spectors outside Honolulu, $1,4i0, and
1T paSSed as in the bill

The committee further recommend
that among incdentals $4,000 be in
serted, of which telephones be put
down at $1,140 and transportation of
prisoners at $1,260. The report was
adopted.
Vida called up the Oahu police re-
port read at the morning session,
which was adopted, he explained that
the increase from $4,000 to $6O,O3O was
due to the eight hours law, which
made more men necessary. This was
passed and he likewise then moved to
insert $4,000 for pay of ten lunas, eX-
planning that this was formerly an
expense of the Public Works Depart
ment, but the police thought all should
be under ane department. The item
was unanimously inserted.
McvEIGH IS COMPLIMENTED.
The committee on segregation of
lepers, pay roll, $15,S70 reported in
favor of increasing the pay roll to
sl6,3S0 The committee complimented
Superintendent McVeigh, saying his
salary should be raised to $3.50 month
to induce him to stay and that an eX-
perienced butcher at $50 a month be
retained The schedule of salaries was
as follows: Superintendent, $225; resi-
dent Physician, $3.50; Asst. Physician,
$3.50; Sisters, $50; Brothers, $50;
Keeper Receiving Station, $50; officer
for Lepers, $50; Pay Roll. s1,700.
Kaniho conceded except as to the
assistant physician who he said was
Unnecessary He made the point that
the physician treated only minor dis
orders and did not investigate lepro-
sy. Aylett supported the need of an
assistant physician but Beckley OPP
posed this saying it would be a young
man to go there and experiment on the
poor lepers. The discussion was logn
but ended with the adoption of the
minority report, cutting out the assist
ant physician and reducing the total
to sl5, 4S0.
GOVERNMENT PHYSICIANS.
The committee on government physi-
clans submitted its report, which was
in three parts, the majority favoring
