Hilo Qiiaraiitiuc Station. 



The surveyed plan of the site of the Hilo Quarantine Station 

 was received from jNIessrs. T. H. Davies & Company during the 

 past month, and in accordance with instructions received, a re- 

 arrangement of the enclosures, chutes and feed-rooms, as planned 

 in the original blue print, has been effected. A copy of the same 

 has been sent to the Deputy Territorial Veterinarian at Hilo for 

 his approval or for such alterations as he may wish to suggest 

 after examining the general topography and surface of the new 

 site. When returnecl to this Board the final plans and specifica- 

 tions will be prepared and tenders advertised for. 



Kahului Qiianiiitiiic Station. 



During the past month the chairman of the Committee on Ani- 

 mal Industry visited Kahului, Maui, and selected a piece of land 

 which Messrs. Alexander & Baldwin had been good enough to 

 offer to transfer to this Board for a nominal consideration, for 

 the purpose of the establishment of an animal quarantine station 

 for the island of Maui. Messrs. Alexander & Baldwin have 

 promised to have this piece of land surveyed, and when a plan of 

 same is received a sketch of pens, chutes and enclosures will be 

 made so as to come within the allotted appropriation of $1,000.00 

 set aside by the Board for this purpose. 



Attempted Illci^al hnpovtation of Dog. 



In regard to this subject, it appears that owing to the indis- 

 position of the County Attorney, it has been impossible for the 

 Attorney General to take any further steps in regard to the prose- 

 cution of Mr. Brasch for attempting to import a dog in circum- 

 vention of the regulations of this Board. The steamship "Ven- 

 tura" will return to this port from Australia on November 1, 

 1912, when it is the Attorney General's intention to prosecute the 

 master of that vessel in connection with the same case. 



Tuberculosis Control JVork. 



According to instructions received from the President of this 

 Board: a letter was addressed to the deputy Territorial veteri- 

 narians at Hilo, Kahului and Lihue, requesting them to take the 

 necessary steps to ascertain in how far it would be advisable or 

 feasible to extend the tuberculosis control work to the Islands 

 outside of Oahu, at the present time. The respective answers to 

 these letters are herewith appended, and while there seems to be a 

 certain desire to have all dairy animals tested for tuberculosis, it 

 appears to be a question whether so important a subject should be 

 presented for action by the respective Boards of Supervisors at
