Mr. ludd presented a proposed forestry plan for Ilonolnln 

 Plantation Company covered by a letter directed l)y Mr. Hosnier 

 to las. (jibb, manager of the plantation. 



After general discussion it was decided to be inadvisable to 

 contract according to the suggestions in the letter, as this was an 

 niitial undertaking. It was thought that questions of price of 

 stumpage, time for cutting and amount of timber to be cut should 

 be more carefully considered. 



The forestry committee was directed to take the matter up 

 with Mr. Hosmer, prepare a proposition along the lines suggested 

 and report back. 



On suggestion of Mr. Hosmer. David T. I'leming was appointed 

 district forester and also district fire warden for the district of 

 Kaanapali, Maui. 



Mr. Hosmer stated that it had come to his attention that the 

 thimbleberry, a pest known to be as bad as lantana, existing near 

 the volcano on Hawaii, had recently l)een brought to Honolulu 

 by certain parties and suggested that the P.oard take action to 

 prevent its maintenance here. 



By unanimous vote the executive officer was directed to draft 

 a resolution making it prohibitive to transjwrt the thimbleberry 

 from one island to another or maintain it on this island. 



Mr. Isenberg stated there were a great many rabbits at large 

 on Oahu, and after discussion it was unanimously voted that the 

 executive officer be directed to address a letter to the Board of 

 Supervisors requesting them to enforce the regulation regarding 

 rabbits. 



Mr. Hosmer stated that the i)ress bulletin of the Forestry Divi- 

 sion relative to the planting of trees had become exhausted and 

 advised a new supply. It was ordered unanimously that the bulle- 

 tin be ])rinted. the cost not to exceed $30.
