SANITARY INSPECTORS DIS
CussED.
kaielopu tried his knife on the sanl-
tAry inspectors lie did not 30 much
object 20 the pay as he wanted TO
know what these men did. There were
poi factories In town In most unsani-
tary condition and he did not know
why they were not visited.
Quinn said he could tell what the in
spectors were doing. they were work.
Ing day and night. fumigating and in
specting. Kaiana backed this up. In
January these inspectors cleaned out
some Paiama houses that had never
been cleaned before and the inspectors
did the work themselves.
Kaieiopu said that might be but
there were other places they never
visited. 1t was not always enough to
visit the Chinese. Japanese and Ha-
waiians. Other places need II and the
speaker know some OF them person.
ally. When the inspectors did come
they made the tenants do the clean
ing.
Coney did not agree. He knew the
inspectors visited the houses of the
white people regularly He did not

either.
KANIHo'S DIRTY LODGING.
Kaniho seconded the cut. He was a
stranger in Honolulu yet he knew the
inspectors were not doing their work.
The very place where he was living
needed to be cleaned up but no inspec-
tors had come around. He proposed
pointing this out to the inspectors as
soon as he had time.
The honorable gentleman from Ko-
hala did not explain why he did not
have his lodgings cleaned up without
official interference.
'Inasmuch as these officials show
slothfulness and carelessness in their
work think $15 a month is enough for
them," concluded Kaniho.
Rawlins vouched for the efficiency of
the inspectors. speaking as kamaai-
ma and as a property-holder. Consid-
ering their work and the dangers they
face the pay of $3.50 was little enough
for them. He know what took place IN
1895 and 1900 and since, when there
have been threatened outbreaks.
Pail wanted the item deferred and
Sheldon wanted to make the item $50.
$780,
Hughes said he was in favor Of the
raise in salary and was glad to be for
once on the popular side, that favoring
a raise. The result of the work of the
men should speak for them stronger
than words.
The motion to defer carried.
WANTS TRAVELLING ANALYST,
Kaleiopu also moved to defer the
item regarding the salary of food COM
missioner and analyst because he new
er travelled around and found out what
was being done on the other islands.
Rawlins explained that he was not
a man to travel around and taste the
food. nor did he have an office that he
could carry around on his back He
analysed food and had to work in his
laboratory
Pail thought that this matter had
as much right to be deferred as the
Hilo item. II Rawlns wanted to see
the Hilo assistant sanitary Inspector,
he, too wanted to have a look at this
analyst.
BACTERIOLOGY AND BUGS.
Kaniho baked at having to pay a
bacteriologist and pathologist.
Il know a lot of bugs this man is
not looking AFTER" he remarked and
wanted the item stricken out alto
gether.
A MENACE TO ALL.
Pail also had bug. He said he
had seen people at Kalaupapa whom
he knew had no leprosy. What was
the use of giving money to this man
who pretended that some people are
infected with leprosy? Any man can
tell whether person is afflicted with
leprosy or not by simply looking at
him. In mercy to ourselves we must
do without this officer, for he will be
threatening us all with the leprosy.
He is a menace to us ALL" said the
Maui statesman.
The motion to strike out the item
passed.
GOVERNMENT PHYSICIANS.
A new item calling for $2S,20O for the
pay OF government physicians under
the Board of Health. was inserted in
the bill on motion of Coney, seconded
by Rice.
AUDITOR AUDITED.
The pay OF the Territorial Auditor
dropped down to a level with the other
departmental heads. to $3.50, and the
item for his clerical assistants was held
up for more information.
The committee rose at 4:15 o'clock.
which is the latest the comittee has
sat so far this session.
