The Rejected Inspectors.
President Pratt of the board of
health wrote the chairman of the
health committee, inclosing a copy Of
the report of examinations of health
inspectors, to show that, of those EN-
ployed by the county, Isaacs and
Klemme received the required rs per
cent, while Oliviera, Kaulakukui, Ole
e pau, Parker and Lot Lane failed in
the examinations. He suggested that
cit would be an excellent plan for the
county to establish an eligible list
l the same as the territorial board now
has; that is, all persons passing Is
per cent and over in the examination
should be put on an eligible list and
as vacancies occur in the force the
ones receiving the highest percentage
: would be appointed on probation for
!, two months at the end of which time
these men would take the oral ana
field examinations which if success
fully passed they would be permanent
- ly appointed and hold their positions
as long as they proved efficient
