Under it the Board OF Health had no
option in granting permits 20 anyone

So desired Nothing in the bill could
prevent anyone from getting a bottle
OF black mud and demanding a permit
to go 10 treat lepers.
I'VE are here 10 protect the lepers

Kalana moved the passage OF the
bill He thought the fact that such
permits We're only TO be granted under
such rules as the Board Of Health
might draw up was guarantee enough
that the privilege would not be over
done. Such a law was needed TO let
healers like DR." wallach go 20 the

adopted and the bill viii come up for
a third reading today.

up.
Coney spoke on his report saying
that it was not the business Of the
House to hinder the worh OF govern
ment. In business institutions every
president has a vice president, a sher-
lag ma a all
president was needed 10 carry on the
work of the Board OF Health during
the absence or sickness Of the presi-
dent. The bill was simply to expedite
matters.
Kaleiopu urged the majority report.
The Board had always got along with
out vice president and could do 90
still. He saw a scheme 10 have the
vice president a salaried man in the
future, the same as the president now
received a salary when at first he
served without pay. IL was understood
at first that none of the members OF
the Board OF Health were TO be paid
The majority report was accordingly
adopted.
