(From Thursdays Advertiser
II the police cou. needs a Spanish
interpreter after today such person
will be employed at a per diem rate,
the Board Of Supervisors at last night s
session deciding that Spanish inter
prefer in the list of "District Court
Employees was unnecessary at least
at regular s75 per month salary.
Supervisor Cox, chairman of the po-
lice committee, stated that some time
ago he was doubtful about the need of
a Spanish interpreter, and he was in
no less doubt last night. Mr.. Kane
supported Cox's view. Deputy At
torney Milverton VIII asked to give
his views stated that was true that
there was very little work for such
an officer, but it would be difficult, he
argued, when a Porto Rican or Spanish
came up in the police court, to de-
pend on the services of an interpreter
for that case. He could not afford to
hang around the station waiting for a
case to turn up. Therefore, it would
be better to have him on the payroll
at the monthly salary. As the item of
$3.50 for six months was in the appro
priation bill passed Monday night, the
Supervisors decided to allow the total
amount to remain in the bill as a fund
upon which to draw for per diem ser
vices, but the "'Spanish interpreter
was eliminated.

Physician DR.. Mackall to visit the
Queens Hospital and obtain list of
the INDECENT sick being treated there

days. The Board wants to know
where it is at so that it can begin to
estimate how the funds shall be paid
to the Queen S Hospital at the per
diem rate established by the Board.
Kane wanted to know if there had
been meeting of the health commit
| tee at four o clock. He as q member
of the committee would like to know
what was done. Logan stated that he
had sent a note to the chairman Jay

ty offices, but heard nothing from him.
He had requested the chairman to call
| a meeting of the committee in order
to meet the hospital trustees. How
ever, he had met with the trustees and
talked hospital matters over with
them. AS it was not an official meet
| ing nothing was decided upon, but at

Logan said he was tring to save and
gain time as the new system goes into
effect today.
