take actual charge of the work. It would, however, be neces- 

 sary that the various counties where this is to be done should 

 first pass a milk ordinance requiring the tuberculin testing of all 

 dair}- cattle from which milk is drawn for human consumption. 

 It should also be ascertained what financial or other support can 

 be expected from the counties enacting such an ordinance, espe- 

 cially as an automobile will be required for the use of the inspec- 

 tor and his assistant while the work is going on. The milk ordi- 

 nance in effect in this county might, with a few alterations, be 

 used as a basis for similar regulations elsewhere. 



Quarantine Stations on Other Islands. 



The selection of a site for a quarantine station on Hawaii was 

 accomplished by a trip to Hilo during the beginning of August. 

 The site is located on what is known as the Shipman slaughter- 

 house pasture, near the entrance to the Waiakea ^Iill. The plans 

 are all prepared and ready for advertising as soon as the new 

 manager of the Waiakea Sugar Company takes charge and ap- 

 proves of the arrangement. 



In regard to the Maui station, there are several locations of- 

 fered to the Board, but a visit by myself to decide on which one 

 to select will undoubtedly be advisable. The correspondence of 

 Drs. Elliot and Fitzgerald, both in regard to the respective sta- 

 tions as well as to tuberculosis testing, is herewith appended. 



I also append a copy of a report on the live stock industry of 

 the Territory' prepared at the request of Governor Frear. 



Respectfully submitted,

Territorial Veterinarian.
