TO UTILIZE
THE $4,000
PRESIDENT PINKHAM HAS A PLAN
WHEREBY FEDERAL MONEY
CAN BE USED.

There is $4,000 of Federal appro-
priation for Hawaii going to waste.
| President Pinknam of the Board of
| Health has suggested a plan however,
| how the money may be available for
distribution in the Territory. The
suggestion was made to DIR. Walter
Brinckerhoff by President Pinkham
and it has met with the approval OF
the head of the Federal leprosy inves-
tigation in Hawaii.
Owing to the peculiar situation over
the contract for the construction of
the Federal leprosorium station at
Molokai there has been practically no
keifort made by DR.. Brinckerhoff to
start the actual study and experiment.
ing upon the scale that is intended by
the United States government. Pink
ham has outlined a plan whereby I'M
der the appropriation made by the las
legislature for the construction of hos
pitfalls and certain improvements at
the Kalihi receiving station, DIR. Brine
kerhoff may conduct his study of and
experimenting with the disease at the
Kalihi station until after the station
at Molokai will have been completed.
Pinkham proposes to have the terri
tarial buildings so constructed as to
enable Dr. Brinckerhoff to stay there
and conduct the scientific experiments
intended by the Federal government.
Unfortunately however the $4,000
appropriated by the last Congress for
the maintenance of the federal station,
is designated for Molokai. The ques-
ton is whether such appropriation can
be used for the study of the disease
at any place, other than the Molollaf
leper settlement. BrinckerhotI is per-
sonally in favor of doing temporary
work at the Kalihi station but he has
to first secure authority from Wash
ington to do so. He has written to
The Washington authorities about the
matter and it is understood, has re-
commended that the suggestion of Pre-
sident Pinkham be followed. 1t will
be some weeks before the matter will
be decided.
