house bill 1z6 to appropriate $5,817. IA
for the purpose of paying the claims or
police oncers of the County of Hawaii
Rawlins wanted to know if an effort
had been made through the courts to
collect the money from the county
Moanaulih, father of the bill replied
that they had been advised that there
was no means of collecting this money
which was justly due.
Rawlns declared that it was a bad
precedent to take up local affairs that
by the powers delegated to the counties
should be settled at home If the
bills were just Hawaii has courts which
the question of paying the men, but a
principle that was involved, and care
should be exercised before setting such
a precedent He asked that the mat
ter be continued until tomorrow morn
ing in order that he might look in,o
it further.
The motion to defer carried.
House bill No. 149 providing for the
appointment of a medical Inspector
for the public schools of the Territory
who should be required to visit each
school in the Territory at least once IN
every year, and such other work as the
Department of Public instruction might
require of him. ?
Kaniho objected to the bill and NOV
ed it's indefinite tabling. He held that
the bill was unnecessary. The present
law he said, which permits a parent to
take his child to the a regularly APP
pointed physician if it be sick, was
sufficient. 1t was Objectionable, he
contended to make it compulsory for
every child to undergo a physical exa-
mination every year, regardless of its
condition of health. He is convinced
that such a system would result in
many children being taken from the
schools on account of some little UNI
important sores on their persons, and
confined in jails as suspects.
Kaleo seconded a motion to indie
fnitely postpone action on the bill.
Kaleiopu the father of the bill declar.
ed that the bill did not contemplate the
enlargement of the suspect laws, MOI
a personal examination of each anC
every child in the schools. 1t was g
necessary health measure.
Kaniho cited the bill itself in supper
of his contension, but Kaleiopu denieC
that it was measure for detecting
leprosy, but that it was to promote
the general health of the Territory.
