it is really surprising some deaths
have not occurred before this among
the cattle that were left in the
herd
The board is still trying to secure
a piece of ground to which the Farm
herd may be removed, and it was
stated that a place might be secured
this afternoon or tomorrow. DR.. Nor

the herd is taken from its present To-

A letter received this morning from
DR.. L. N. Case, assistant territorial

as the entire herd there hasSbeen vac

CITY'S.
HOSPITAL FEES

In explanation of story In the Star.
Bulletin Saturday that the Queens
hospital during May cared for 81 city
and county patients for which the
city and county was called upon to-
pay $1S9750. including X-ray pictures.
Werner Roehl, superintendent of the
Queens hospital, states that this sum
might look big TO the general public,
but is in reality quite low. He says:
The city and county is charged
$3.50 per day for each patient. There
have been 1910 hospital days for 81
patients, or an average Of IL days to
each patient. 1872 ~
The city and county pays the
hospital $3.50 for each and every x
ray picture no matter how big or how
small. The average charge for an x
ray picture in this city is about $3.50
per plate and the charges range from
S. to $50. This work the city and
county gets for $1.50. In the past two
years and also previous to that time
the Queens Hospital has lost from SO
cents to SO cents per day on each
city and county patient, and If 1t
were not for the Queen Emma En-
dowment, the hospital would have
closed its doors long ago.
1T also must be considered that IN
the past two years everything has
gone up and especially is this the case
In the hospital line, as we need mostly
things such as game and cotton, rub
Der goods, instruments, medicines,
ct eetera. All those articles mentioned
have gone up from Is to 100 per cent
and even more It must be readily
seen that under the circumstances the
hospital must be managed very eco
nomically In spite of the fact that,
honolulu has an emergency hospital,
the Queens Hospital is called upon
daily to treat those cases for which
the hospital does not get paid by the
city and county. Besides, he hos
pital Is doing always its share for
charity and certainly is always glad
to do so and assist In any way pos
sib1e those who are unfortunate
enough to have to ask for It.
All doctors give their services free
to all city and county patients as well
as charity cases and certainly deserve
q good deal of credit.

Of sugar. an increase Of 81 acres and
ilS5 tons over 1916. For the 1918
crop, 40S more acres will be under cnl.

With satisfactory weather conditions

ing Manager Naquin states: n
cit might be well TO bear in mind
the fact that labor and material have
advanced in greater ratio than the
price Of sugar. The laborers Of the
Honokaa, Sugar Company received a
liberal bonus which, although &c had
compensating features, increased the
cost Of this commodity. Material ad
vanced all the way from twenty FIVE
per cent TO two hundred per cent, and
in some cases even more, all of which
has had and will continue TO affect the
cost Of producing a ton Of sugar. 4
