WAYSON NAMED
CITY PHYSICIAN
BY SUPERVISORS

The City and County. Supervisors
have taken fresh grip upon the
health and sanitation problem In Ho-
nolulu.
Last night they appointed DR.. J. T
Wayson. City and County physician at
a monthly salary of $3.50.
They approved of the appointment
Of DR.. w. l.. Moore, as assistant City
and County physician at a monthly
salary of $3.50
They favored the appointment of a
trained district nurse whose duties II
will be to attend to such INDECENT
cases as do not require hospital treat
ment.
They considered the increase In the
force of sanitary and health inspec-
tors by the addition of all members
Of the police force. the latter being
made ex-oficio sanitary inspectors.
without argument but with abso-
lutte unanimity, the Supervisors de-
clare for sanitary city and propose
to have II so.
DIR. J. T. Wayson. City and County
physician. with Or. w. l.. Moore, his
assistant new apLointees by the Board
of Supervisors today have taken over
tne duties OF once.
DIR. N. b. Emerson, temporary In
charge OF the city health department
pending the appointment Of a success
sor to DR.. Bruce V. Mackall was in
structed through a resolution, to turn
over that Office to Drs. Wayson and
| Moore, ut a meeting of the Supervisors
and following the appointment of the
new city health officers.
The City and County Supervisors
gathered the reigns OF government
with much firmer hand last night
and before they adjourned the NUM-
cipal chariot was driven rough shod
over q number of heretofore consid-
| cred impossible barriers In the high
way OF progress leading to city sani-
| tary.
The services of trained nurse will
| be drawn upon by the city In dealing
with cases that do not require the
attendance OF the patients at the hos
| pital.
Another rather radical move and
one that is believed Is along the right
direction will be the appointment Of
police officers as ex-offlcio members
J of the sanitary corps to serve as In
| spectors.
Supervisor Mcclellan, an active
member of the sanitation and health
committee was outspoken for a
change of system. He argued for
| general shaking up of dry bones. Nc
| Clellan spoke OF the advantages deriy-
| ed from the appointment of two city
| physicians.
A motion made by Supervisor Kru-
ger for the appointment OF DIR. j. T..
| Wayson received speedy second and
passed by n unanimous vote.
Next came letter from DR.. Way
son as City and County physician,
asking that he be given the services
Of nm assistant. Murray passed the
buck to Mayor J. j. Fern. Some lit.
tie hesitation upon the part of His
Honor, and brief consultation OF
city ordinances, resulted In Ferns
agreeing to the appointment. of DR..
w l.. Moore as assistant City and
County physician.
BY resolution. the monthly salaries
Of both City and County physician
Wayson and his assistant DR.. Moore
were placed at $3.50 each.
with an increase Of fifty dollars a
month over the sum paid DR.. Mac
kali the board figure that the NUM-
cipality will still be the gamer In the
end.
| Mcclellan touched upon this phase
of the matter last night by stating
that the city would now have tho
services OF two men. He outlined
the plan of doing away with large
amount of expense of maintaining pa
