in 1907 and 1909, when the Board decided each time that the 

 boundary of the reserve at this point should not be changed, and 

 that the upper edge of the forest should not be opened up. The 

 Governor was informed that the Board saw no reason at present 

 why its former stand on the matter should be changed. 



FOREST FENCING. 



On March 18 the Governor allotted $20,000 from the water 

 license fund for the construction of forest fences. Since the 

 money is immediately available I have already made inquiries 

 concerning suitable fence wire and with Mr. von Holt's advice 

 have decided to use No. 8 galvanized wire and to call for bids on 

 a sufficient amount to fence 20 miles of boundarv, for a begin- 

 ning. During April I plan to visit Kauai to secure data for 

 specifications to construct the fences needed on that island. 



SEED FOR CHINA. 



The appended report of the forest nurseryman shows the activi- 

 ties in his department during March. To assist in colonization 

 work in China one-half pound of algaroba seed and small packets 

 of seed of VJ other varieties were sent to Professor Joseph Bailie 

 of the University of Nanking, Nanking, China. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. S. JUDD, 

 Superintendent of Forestry.
