A PPE Al F D R
INDECENT
SICK
Hospital Trustees APP.
pear Before Board
of Supervisors.

An earnest appeal on behalf of the
Queen IS Hospital for funds from the
city and county was made to the Mayor
and Board of Supervisors last night by
Ex-Governor Carter, Willard Brown and
Mr.. North, representing the hospital
trustees, and their presentation of the
needs of that institution was of such
weight that many of the members ex-
pressed their entire willingness to give
financial aid, providing the apportion-
ment of the county funds would per-
nit. Senator Chillingworth was also
present and explained some of the rea-
sons why the Legislature failed to pass
the subsidy and also made an earnest
appeal for county support.
Gov. Carter traced the career of the
institution from its founding under Ka-
mehameha ~ and Queen Emma and
the manner in which it has been sup
ported during its fifty years from reve-
nues derived from estates which Queen
Emma gave, and how few years ago,
by court decision, much of its income
was lost. The hospital has been run
ming behind and it now faces crisis.
Gov. Carter said that if the county can
not subsidize the hospital then at least
half of the public service it now rem
ders to the INDECENT sick will be cut
off, and the trustees will make the in
come go as far as possible. The hospi-
tai has had few endowments other than
that from c. R. Bishop. It will require
about $4,000 to run the hospital as it
has been in the past, as fiat sum.
Otherwise per diem would be asked
of $3.50. That was as low as the hos
pital could do business with the indi-
gent sick. If there were ten patients
there that would make ten hospital
days day or SIS, a day for all.
In some months last year there were
1000 hospital days. At the per diem
rate this would be $500 per month.
If the per diem method was adopted
the county would have to deal with the
admittance of the INDECENT sick, and if
only those of the county of Oahu were
to be admitted the county authorizes
would have to inquire into the cases.
Mr.. North made very lucid state
ment as to the expenses of the institu-
ton, the method of computing the hos
pital days in month and the expenses
incident to all departments. {.
Gov. Carter spoke of the new obliga-
tions assumed by the county board and
spoke of some rumors connected with
the alleged non admission of certain
sick people which were false. The
statement that Hawaiian was refused
admission and could not be operated on
there was not true.
Mr.. North showed in his statement

An ESTIMAT {
Of F j NDS
ASKED
County fathers ,SaddIed
With Apportionment
Problem.


Much of the discussion at the meet
ing of the Board of Supervisors last
night was over the new obligations
which are to be assumed by the coun-
ty after July / in the maintenance and
repairs Of jails and the repairs of
schools, and as to how the county can
meet the cost. Supervisor Logan said
he had been trying to get figures from
High Sheriff Henry on the jails but
could not get an exact estimate. A
rough estimate of $35, 900 for payroll
and maintenance was given. Then in the
matter of repairs to schools, $4,000
were mentioned. To meet the extra
obligations Logan said that the county
is promised s1O5,oo0 for eighteen
months beginning July /.
AT various times during the meeting
the matter Of extras bobbed up and
each time there was a general super
visorial frown New officers had to be
provided for and each one with salary,

ton of license fees, to begin June l.
Then an Inspector of buildings and
plumbing in the person of j. j. Miehl-
stein, was appointed by the Mayor, and
confirmed by the board and he begins
his duties this morning.
All sorts of new things came up, re-
sulting in a resolution being passed re-
quiring the County Attorney to gather
up all new laws passed by the recent
Legislature affecting the counties, so
as to get bearings, and also requiring
the Finance Committee to get busy on
an estimate of the revenue of the coun-
-ty during the next period so that the
board may know just how much each
department can safely expend and how
much the hospital, schools and jails may
receive The board wants the Finance
Committee to report on May II, but
it is likely that progress only may be
reported then.
The board started off with a renova-
ton of its assembly room and will re-
arrange the seating facilities. Each
supervisor will have new desk and
chair all to himself and the desks will
be arranged in semicircle in front of
the Mayor. A water cooler viii be in

Mayor to See Governor.
The clerk of the House of Represen,
tatives notified the Mayor and board
that the latter s resolution in regard
to passing over the present postoffice
building to the county for city hall,
when the new Federal building is erect
ed and the present structure reverts to
the Territory, had been acted upon ia
vorably and placed in the hands of the
Governor for future developments. The
board appointed the Mayor as COM
nittee to keep at the Governor s elbow
and prevent the matter being lost
sight of.

Byron Clark and f. E. Steere, on be-
half Of the Manoa Improvement Club,
were present and addressed the mem
bers IN regard to communication from
tie club to the board in relation to the
cleaning up of streets in front of in
