303 



report of the board to the next Legislature. In it, after recount- 

 ing briefly the happenings of the last twenty months, I have sum- 

 marized what I feel to have been the important accomplishments 

 of the Division of Forestry during the past decade, with certain 

 recommendations for the future. I believe the suggestions there 

 made are pertinent and worthy of adoption. 



In concluding my work as superintendent of forestry and chief 

 fire warden of Hawaii, I wish to express to the board my cordial 

 appreciation of the support which the forest work has always re- 

 ceived from the several commissioners, past and present. On 

 very many accounts I go away from the Territory with regret. 

 I trust I may still find many occasions to be of service in Ha- 

 waiian affairs. For wherever I may be located I shall always 

 look back with aloha to my ten years of service in Hawaii Nei. 



Very respectfully, 



Ralph S. Hosmer, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
