DIVISION OF FORESTRY. 



Honolulu, August 12, 1915. 



Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry. 



Gentlemen : — I respectfully submit the following routine re- 

 port for the Division of Forestry for the month of July, 1915 : 



ANNUAL FISCAL REPORT. 



The first two days after my return to the office early in July 

 were spent in writing a report on the work of this division for the 

 fiscal year ended June 30, 1915. This with similar reports from 

 the other divisions has been forwarded to the Governor for use 

 in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior. 



APPLICATION FOR DEAD TIMBER. 



An application was received from Mr. lulwin C. Moore in 

 behalf of homesteaders in Kula, Maui, to remove and use for 

 fence posts dead mamane trees from the Kula forest reserve. 

 Reference of the application to the local district forester brought 

 back the recommendation that the application be not granted. He 

 informed me that, so far as he knew, similar i)ermission had 

 never been granted in the past, and he believes tliat to grant it 

 now would lead to complications. Pending the time when I can 

 become personally familial' with the- situation, the permission has 

 not been granted.
