huku, Kau, and the public lands of Waiohinu and Hionaa 

 and to connect with the present fence of the Hawaiian 

 Agricultural Co. at the N. W. corner of the land of Kaa- 

 laiki." 



The matter was first called to the attention of the Commis- 

 sioner of Public Lands on September 24, 1917, and again on 

 April 17, 1918, but the latest report from my forest ranger, dated 

 July 1, 1918, is to the efifect that this fence has not yet been re- 

 paired. Proper fencing in this region is important because of 

 the fact that the water supply of Waiohinu Village is involved 

 and should be protected from damaging- stock. 



Enclosed herewith also is a copy of a reprint which gives the 

 basic reasons why the native forest in the reserve should be pro- 

 tected from stock, and why this Board is so vigorously insisting 

 on the compliance by the holders of government leases with 

 fencinq; clauses contained therein.
