During my presence in Hilo I paid close attention to the erection 

 of the new fumigating building near Kuhio wharf, and when I left the 

 building was almost completed. The Executive Officer no doubt has 

 carefully gone over the building while at Hilo.

Gentlemen: 



I have the honor to submit the following report for the 'month of 

 August: 



TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL. 



The testing during the month was Confined to imported cattle at the 

 Quarantine Station. Out of a total of 68 head, 4 were condemned. These 

 four animals exhibited definite and in one case advanced lesions of 

 tuberculosis on autopsy. 



HEMORRHAGIC SEPTICEMIA. 



Four distinct outbreaks of hemorrhagic septicemia of a very viru- 

 lent type occurred in dairy cattle during the past month. One out- 

 break occurring in Kaimuki and three in Kapahulu. 



Vaccination was resorted to with uniformly good results; only two 

 deaths occurring after vaccination. All cattle in the surrounding neigh- 

 borhood were immunized, and the outbreak may be considered entirely 

 checked.
