to the allotment for the coming fiscal period. On May 12, 1911, 
the Conservation Fund Apportionment Board rescinded the sched- 
ule of allotments under which the Board was working and reap- 
propriated, for the period of 15 months from April 1, 1911, the 
following amounts : 
For the general use of the Board, $52,500. (This is $3,500 
per month, a continuance of the existing arrangement.) For 
completing the forest planting in the Pupukea Forest Reserve, 
now in progress, $815. For planting and fencing the Kohala 
Mt. Forest Reserve, $65,000. For inspection of fruits, plants, 
etc., for transportation between the islands, $6,000. 
The several chiefs of Division having been directed to submit 
reports, filed statements showing that to carry on the work of the 
Board as it is at present organized, would require $60,949, as 
against the allotment by the Apportionment Board of $52,500. 
oted that the members of the Board take up the matter with the 
Governor and Board of Apportionment to see if it is not possible 
in some way to increase the Board's allotment. 
The Acting President announced that Mrs. C. H. Brown had 
tendered her resignation as secretary of the Board. Voted that 
this resignation be accepted as of May 31. An application from 
the Hawaiian Agricultural Co. for a license to maintain flume 
lines in the Kau Forest Reserve was referred to the Superin- 
tendent of Forestry for recommendations. 
An application from the California Cultivator for the use of the 
plates appearing in the last report of the Board of Agriculture 
and Forestry was refused, it being the sense of the Board that it 
was inadvisable to permit such use of the Board's plates unless 
the article to accompany them could be prepared under the super- 
vision of the Board.
