According 10 the figures obtained
from the Territorial Auditor. the city
and county will receive an additional
revenue of $7o0S5 year, which would
be for eighteen months, $105,127; de
duet increased expenses. $62, $40; bal
ance to be apportioned between schools
and hospitals, $42,21T.
Suppose the hospitals at $3.50 per
diem services rendered should amount
to $1,000 a month. there would be left
for schools, including pay of janitors.
S24.117. which is at the rate of $4,000
or $4,000 less than what had been esti-
mated for the Territory TO pay for
those objects before they were turned
over to the counties.
The increased revenue per month is
s5S4o, and the increased obligations
other than for schools and hospitals
amount to $3.50 leaving a surplus OF
s2s45 a month for schools and hospi-
| tails. This is allowing nothing for in
creased clerical assistance which may
be needed in handling additional SER
vices. excepting the salary of the IL
cense clerk, but which the board
should endeayor to avoid by a dis
tribution Of new clerical work among

With the extraordinary expenses at

Some of the foregoing figures are

/ It would be well for the particular
committees that win have the over

4 full estimates therefor. Therefore, SO
that we may have exact data for the
next Ealf-year1y estimates, your COM
/ Tnittee would recommend that matters
herein mentioned may be referred to
committees as follows, to report
/ schedules of necessary expenditures
respectively before May 81:
Meat inspector. milk inspector and
T building inspector, to the health COM
/ lnittee
| Honolulu Jail and morgue attendant,
[ 20 the police committee.
Schools and hospitals, to the full

The police committee will require "a
ascertain what repairs and furnish
ings are required for the Jail, and pre-
| Fare a salary and payroll therefor;
! also devise systems relative to cook
ing tailoring, shoernaking, making OF
hammocks, etc, to meet the separa-
ton Of the jail from the Territorial
prison. High Sheriff Henry has kind
/ ~ offered to assist the board with in
formation on these matters.
The health committee should report
/ on the salaries mentioned herein, one
matter of inquiry being in regard &c
/ the milk inspectors compensa ton. He
is now getting s75 a month and trans
portation paid by the Board Of Health
! but the health officials advise your
/ committee that it viii be more eco

find his own transportation. Another
| matter for this committee to ascertain
is whether the Board OF Health, which
has appropriations for pay Of tbs
1 transferred officers until the end Of
June, win not use them for that pur
/ pose in any cases where the actua
services are assumed by the Board d
supervisors before that date. of which
there seems to be no necessity except
in the. case of the building and plumb
ing inspector. Respectfully submitted
