On December 8, during a visit to the Kuliouou Forest Reserve 

 in which six goats were killed out of a flock of nine, which was 

 found at the edge of the forest in the reserve, itj was' ascertained 

 that the Club Stables, Ltd., holder of General Lease No. 837, had 

 not done anything toward constructing the required fence which 

 the lease specifies to have been built on November 4, 1914. This 

 default has been repeatedly called to the attention of the Land 

 Commissioner and I once more notified that official that this re- 

 quirement had not yet been fulfilled. I also notified him that L. 

 L. McCandless, holder of General Lease No. 730, had not yet 

 built the required fence on the boundary of the Makua Forest 

 Reserve which should have been completed on June 4, 1914, and 

 he reports that the lessee has promised to begin the construction 

 of this fence early in January. 



During the month Ranger Lovell, in addition to planting trees, 

 has been repairing a few sections of the fence on the boundary of 

 the Kealia Forest Reserve, Kauai, which were damaged by storm.
