George Holts dairy has again shown a numher of diseased 

 animals. Only two months ago nine cows were condemned and 

 branded out of a total of 17 head. This brings the total number 

 of recently condemned animals from this dairy up to 13 head, all 

 of which have been sent to Mr. Holt's ranch at Alaili, where they 

 can wander unrestrained and spread the infection all over the 

 district. On a recent trip past Maili, three of these condemned 

 animals were noticed grazing along the road. It would seem 

 that the time is now at hand when this division should be given 

 absolute authority and control over all condemned animals in 

 order that they may be disposed of at once through the different 

 slaughter-houses and not allowed to disseminate the disease 

 throughout the island. It is our opinion that without such au- 

 thority, control and eventual eradication of bovine tuberculosis 

 within this Territory is practically impossible.
