whole on the Territorial salary bill.

boys and girls industrial schools
passed without comment, the first dis
cussion coming up through Kahana

f1cers on the payroll. The total sala-
ries Will amount 10 s15,4O0 and TO a
request for information as TO why SO
many were needed he said he thought
there should be plenty. During the
course of the discussion there was a
tilt between Silva and Long, the for
mer wanting 10 know why the Educa-
ton committee had held his bill on

PINKHAM A VICTIM.
The salary of the President Of the
Board of Health dropped from $500 10
$3.50 without any effort TO save it and
his janitors pay was given a % per
cent. raise, which is the usual amount
of give and take that has been shown
throughout the whole bill. The item
of 1920 for office clerks was held up
for more particulars.
SANITARY INSPECTORS DIS
CUSSED.
Kaleiopu tried his knife on the sani- |
tary inspectors. He did not so much |
object TO 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 We're work |
ing day and night, fumigating and in |
specting. Kalana 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.
kaleiopu said that might be but 1
there were other places they never
visited. II was not always enough to 1
visit the Chinese, japanese and Ha-
waiians. Other places need it 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
think il was up to the inspectors TO
10 the housekeeping for the people
either.
KANIHO'S DIRTY LODGING.
Kaniho seconded the cut. He was a
stranger in Honolulu yet he knew the
were not doing their work.
The very place where he was living
needed to be cleaned up but no inspec-
ors had come around. He proposed
pointing this out TO the inspectors as
Don as he had time.
The honora bic gentleman from Ko-
lala did not explain why he did not
lave his lodgings cleaned up without
'fhcial interference.
'Inasmuch as these officials show
and carelessness in their
work. 1 think SIS a month is enough for
hem," concluded Kaniho
Rawlins vouched for the efficiency of
he inspectors, speaking as kamaai-
Ia and as a property-holder. Consid-
ring their work and the dangers they
ace the pay of $3.50 was little enough
or them. He know what took place IN
S95 and 1900 and since. when there
ave been threatened outbreaks.
Pail wanted the item deferred and
heldon wanted to make the item $50.
