completed will be .85 mile long, and in addition an existing fence 

 will be repaired so as to keep cattle from getting into the reserve. 



On the makai boundary of the Waianae-kai Forest Reserve, 

 Oahu, a fence .22 mile long was completed during the month 

 so as to keep the George Holt cattle from getting into the re- 

 serve. This work included the placing of a gate across the road 

 at the power house, permission for the erection of which was 

 iirst obtained from the Board of Supervisors of the County. 



The attention of the Land Commissioner was called to the fact 

 that the fence at Kiolakaa on the boundary of the Kau Forest 

 Reserve, Hawaii, required to be kept in good repair by General 

 Lease No. 550 to the Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Co., had, on 

 advice received from Ranger Mackenzie, not yet been repaired. 



The makai boundary of the Kuliouou Forest Reserve, Oahu, 

 was located on the ground with the aid of a government sur- 

 veyor and forest reserve monuments were placed on the two 

 corners between which a fence is required to be built by General 

 Lease No. 837 to Club Stables, Limited, but which has not yet 

 been constructed. 



As instructed at a recent meeting of the Board, I called on 

 Governor McCarthy and laid before him the present situation in 

 regard to fencing requirements in general leases of the Territory 

 which had not been fulfilled. He appeared to be disposed to 

 correct the situation and said that if a few of the leases were can- 

 celled for non-compliance with the fencing clause the other lease- 

 holders would promptly come to time. In accordance with his 

 request, I set forth the present situation in the form of a letter, a 

 copy of which is herewith presented. 



NEW RESERVES. 



Several days were spent with a government surveyor running 

 out the line of the proposed new Hauula Forest Reserve, Oahu, 

 where it crosses the private lands of Kahana. This completes 

 the field work on this project which will he presented for ap- 

 proval at an early date. 



A government surveyor has been running out the makai bound- 

 ary line of the Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve, Kauai, where it 

 crosses the government land at Wailua to determine the location 

 of the forest fence and the official boundary with a view to chang- 

 ing the latter to the actual fence line. 



TREE PLANTING. 



On Kauai, Ranger Lovell planted 298 swamp mahogany and 

 97 silk oak trees on the Kamalomaloo flats. 



The Mikilua nursery house in the Lualualei Forest Reserve, 

 Oahu, was completed during the month and preparations were 

 completed for beginning the planting work early in August.
