Mr. Campbell said that he had been called before the Public 
Lands and Improvement Committee on this proposition and 
the question of accepting the gift was talked over at some 
length. If this is taken over by the Territory, the department 
without doubt will be worked up so that anybody in the 
islands may well be proud of the place. 
ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 
A report of the work accomplished to date by the Terri- 
torial Veterinarian, dated March 17, was read by title, and 
ordered approved and placed on file. 
Dr. Norgaard said that beef must be imported either from 
the States or from the Colonies in order to provide for the 
many soldiers that are being stationed here. C. Q. Yee Hop 
wants to make one trial importation of beef on the hoof. 
Dr. Norgaard further stated that it has become more and 
more evident that this Territory will not be able to supply its 
own beef, and that sooner or later the resolution he submitted 
must be made a standing rule, as all of the States which have 
regulations requiring the tuberculin test of milking and breed- 
ing stock have a clause providing for the admission of cattle 
for immediate slaughter without the tuberculin test. He read 
the following resolution in regard to the importation of beef 
cattle without the tuberculin test, Avhich is to have the same 
effect as a rule : 
''Resolved, That cattle intended for immediate slaughter 
shall be admitted to the Territory when accompanied by a 
certificate of inspection, showing that they have been subject- 
ed to a careful physical examination and found to be appar- 
ently free from disease, or disease-producing parasites (Texas 
fever ticks). And the said examination must be made, and 
certificate issued by the same authorities as required by Rule 
III of the Rules and Regulations pertaining to the importation 
of live stock to the Territory of Hawaii, except that no cer- 
tificate of tuberculin test will be required, but that the in- 
specting officer be requested to provide each animal with an 
ear-tag for identification. 
''Such animals upon arrival shall be placed in quarantine on 
premises approved of by the Territorial Veterinarian and in 
the immediate vicinity of the slaughterhouse, and kept there 
until slaughtered. The owner or consignee shall notify the 
Territorial Veterinarian when he intends to butcher such im- 
ported cattle and shall keep a careful record of the number of 
the ear-tags, which, after slaughter, shall be removed together 
with and attached to one-half of the ear, and turned over to 
the local meat inspector or to the Territorial Veterinarian, 
who in turn will issue a receipt and certificate of slaughter."
