Under false pretcnses, and then enter
upon general impeachment OF the
whole course OF their official conduct.
II will say to- the Hon. Mr.. Kumalae
that the committee of public health
of which ! am chairman, will do its
full duty to the people. OF the Terri
tory" said the speaker. II therefore
move that the investigation of the
Board OF Health proposed in the House
be limited entirely to the specific
charge made by Mr.. Kumalae."
Mr.. Kumalae said he had other
charges against the Board OF Health,
and he wanted a general investigation
of the conduct OF that body.
The Speaker, at the conclusion OF
Mr.. Kumalae's speech, said that Mr..
Chillingworth's point was well taken.
The investigation, under the authority
granted by the resolution, could not
take wider scope than the specific
transaction charged. II IL was desired
to have a full Investigation of the con-
duct of the Board Of Health, then
resolution to that effect would be In
order.
Mr. Kumalae moved that all COM
plants made at the time OF the ap-
pearance OF the Board of Health be
anu luNeptlsdUtu, anu lCNSi'ihS
no second, Mr.. Chillingworth offered
a written resolution. as follows:
II move that in the matter Of the
appearance Of the Board of Health be-
fore the House, that prior to their
appearance they be handed written
copies Of the charges preferred against
them, and that such investigation be
limited to charges of which notice has
been given"
Kumalae asked who was to prefer
the charges. He could not. He was
not an attorney.
Chillingworth said this was another
subterfuge to consume time, whereupon
kumalae offered an amendment that
the Board of Health, when they ap-
peard, should be questioned on all
complaints made against them relative
to their conduct of affairs. This was
carried, 10 to 10, which virtually killed
the Chlllingworth resolution. Kumalae
moved that the Board OF Health be
called before the House at 1880 p. m.
on Thursday. There were various
amendments as to the time at which
the investigation should be held, Ku-
malae accepting one calling 1t for
p. m. on Thursday. This was carried,
and motion to adjourn was lost.
