 Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry. 



Gentlemen : — I have the honor to submit as follows, the routine 

 report of the Division of Forestrv for the month of November,

 is without any question good business. What has been done 

 at Waialua is a good example of what should be practiced on

 has of late taken so much interest in street tree planting — took
