Last year a plantation of certain species of eucalyptus new to 

 Hawaii, considered to be of economic value, was started in Nuu- 

 anu Valley with a part of the money. 



Considering that the forest service appropriations were very 

 materially cut this year by Congress, the fact that the allotment 

 for Hawaii was continued is significant of the importance that is 

 attached to this type of work by the forest service. For the 

 coming period it is proposed to expend the forest service money 

 in continuing the work on the high mountains and in extending 

 the eucalyptus plantation in Nuuanu. 



Forest Fire Notes. 



On the afternoon of April 11, members of the division of for- 

 estry staff responded to a call for a grass fire on the slope of 

 Punchbowl. On the evening of April 30, Mr. Hauglis hastened 

 to Kalihi \"alley on a report of a forest fire there. Fortunately 

 this report proved to be unfounded. 



Very respectfully, 



Ralph S. Hosmer, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
