Coelho moved to insert $4,000 for
new buildings for Kapiolani Girls
Home.
Fairchild spoke of unnecessary ex-
penditure out of former eppropria-
! ton for decoration. He moved in
amendment that the item include fur
nishing sufficient for 100 girls
Smith suggested leaving out the
condition of numbers as It might
cause trouble with the Auditor. Fair
child regarded the objection as ridl-
culous, as if they could not calculate
ahead in providing accommodation
Smith answered that he objected fur
Their to placing so many girls in one
building Anxiety was felt on that
score regarding Kamehameha Girls
School, for fear of fire
Moore doubted the ACCESSIBILITY of
putting an expensive building on the
site, the soil of which was incapable
of cultivation.
The condition of 100 girls was
struck out and the item passed.
Coelho moved to insert 5000 for a
breakwater at Kalaupapa landing.
Quinn would like to be fair to the
Settlement but the landing was now
far superior to what it was two years
ago. Six thousand dollars would not
begin to build a breakwater.
Fairchild understood that the Fed
eral government was considering the
building of a wharf and landing Ell
Their at one side of the island or the
other, and it would be unwise then
for the Territory to expenu money
there now.
Harvey told of extreme perils al
the landing and case of a broken
arm sustained there lately. Smith
held it would be waste OF money tc
eXpend an insufficient amount ON the
work.
Coelho withdrew his motion.
Hospitals: Queens Hospital, $24,.
900.
Baker moved to make it S14 900 fol-
Queens Hospital and insert $4,000
for Palama Hospital. He went on t
find fault with the usage of opor pa
tients at the Queens and with tn,
tavoritism to certain doctors in tn
use OF its operating facilities. HI
praised the work being done by tn
Palama Hospital, which was maintain
ed by Mrs. Anterior.
, smith gave the information tina
q DR.. ODay's letter received the othe
q day on behalf of the Palama Hospita
was entirely unauthorized A grea
many children went there instead O
( coming in to the city dispensary. II
/ praised the work of the Queens Hos
/, pital.
: Mccarthy said the $4,000 given t
= the Queens Hospital did not pay
for the free patients taken in.
Chhli ngworth stated that nobod
was more competent to speak of tn
: Queens Hospital than he from his eH
+ perience as deputy marshal and core
f ner for several years. The institutio
4 was regular haven for those pickle
UP from starvation and accidents II
} mentioned two recent cases of pa
tients being treated there by their ow
- physicians, he could name twent
a physicians who had the privileges {
g the hospital. (Coelho-"They beon
e to the ring.'O The $4,000 did ne
s begin to pay the Queens Hospital &c
the care and treatment of indiger
q persons sent thither.
= Coelho was declaiming on a cas-
sent by Senator Brown and turne
n away when it was suggested thu
i the honorable gentleman could spea
for himself.
If Brown in Hawaiian told of the ca!
Ia of his nephew (Mr. Lowe, who int
+ preted his remarks) as one refused a,
is mission as a free patient.
id Chillingworth said Lowe did n
N come within the meaning of the ter
Or INDECENT person. If he was to be co
ID sidered such, with his physique al
D. abilities, he was not fit to be the a
sistant clerk of the Senate.
n Knudsen told of a poor man with
Id broken jaw he had sent to the Queer
/. Hospital, accompanied with a nc
s. stating that if he were unable to ID
A. the fees the writer would be respo
" sible therefor. The man was lie
IN for two months and discharged wi

de er charged a cent
