ANDREWS COULD DISCUSS
WITH GREATER FREEDOM
WHEN REMARKS WERE NOT QUO.
TED - BOARD OF HEALTH
MEETING AND THE IN.
sPECToRs.

The Board Of Health met yesterday
afternoon at o'clock, those present
being l.. e. Pinkham, president; Fred
G. Smith, DR.. G. B. Cooper, DR.. w. H..
Hays, ]. c. Lane and Attorney General
Lorrin Andrews:
The following message from Presi-
dent Pinkham was read:
TO the Members Of the Board Of
Health.
The Executive, by and with the adj
vice Of the heads Of the departments,
owing to the even more stringent con-
dition Of the Territorial finances than
has directed the economies
enacted by the recent Legislature to be
put in force at once, dating from Iay
list.
The Government physicians have
been notified and all salaried employees,
except the sanitary inspectors and a
few instances where few days more
win be required to determine the best
course.
The reduction In numbers Of the san
itary inspectors leads to a delicate sit
uation. Owing to the depressed state
OF affairs 1t is a hardship on any in
dividual to lose his position. After
much reflection I have concluded to
recommend the Board to retain the
eight sanitary inspectors In the order
of their seniority OF appointment as
disclosed by the records.
1t is necessary to invite you to dis
cuss the duties of the food commission
e. and milk inspector.
In the matter OF inspectors for the
markets Of the Inter-Island Live Fish
and Cold Storage Co., l recommend
that although the inspector must be
privately paid, he be appointed by the
Board and his salary be collected and
paid through the Board. l also recon-
mend this course be taken with all in
spectors privately paid.
1t appears that during the month OF
April there were three hundred and
sixty six 1860 cases treated at the Dis
pensary and siXty-two '(62) outside
calls. No further proof is required as
to the necessity for this work.
It Is estimated - dollars will be
required for the carrying on of this
work until July list. 1905. It would
seem to me an appeal for voluntary
contributions for this fund by a public
notice signed by the physicians tender
ing their free services would be the
proper procedure to secure the funds
II would seem the newspapers woult
give the notice prominence and con
t!nue 1t for a time and receive contri
buttons for this object.
The matter OF the sanitary Inspector
was brought up by President Pinkhan
but Attorney General Andrews quickl.
cut In with the suggestion that thu
Board decide this question In executive
session when the members could ex
press themselves with more freedom
than in open meeting.
Some time ago this same question
caused a great discussion at meet
