Also it was the sense that the en-
ploYment Of police surgeons to be on
duty at all times would provide that
every case taken to the emergency hos.
Iisal by the ambulance would be ex-
Rmined by the police surgeon before
the case was turned over to the hos
pital authorities and in that way both
1.-THE city and the hospital would be
4 he'd in their own field of responsibility.
l. Provision was made, however, that in
case of the absence of the police surg
con the hospital surgeons give first aid
treatment and then notify the police
| surgeon. II was also agreed that
Itrained Hawaiian nurses be assigned
TO Hawaiian cases aud that pulmotor
| be ALWAYS carried in the ambulance.
