Regulation  No.  6. 
Whereas,  by  order  of  the  Commissioners  of  Agriculture  and  Forestry, 
dated  September  1,  1903,  owing  to  the  prevalence  of  a serious  plant  disease 
on  pineapples  in  the  Australian  Colonies  further  importation  into  the  Ter- 
ritoy  of  pineapple  plants,  shoots  and  suckers  was  prohibited,  and 
Whereas,  there  has  been  established  at  the  Port  of  Honolulu  sufficient 
facilities  for  the  proper  disinfection  and  quarantine  of  such  plants. 
Now  Therefore,  by  virtue  of  the  powers  conferred  upon  us  by  law  and 
with  the  approval  of  the  Governor  of  this  Territory,  we,  the  Board  of  Agri- 
culture and  Forestry  of  the  Territory  of  Hawaii,  at  a regular  meeting 
assembled  hereby  order  that  entry  of  importations  of  pineapple  plants, 
shoots  or  suckers  into  the  Territory  of  Hawaii  from  the  said  Australian 
Colonies  be,  and  the  same  is  hereby  permitted  at  the  Port  of  Honolulu, 
subject  to  such  inspection,  treatment  and  quarantine  as  the  Board  or  its 
duly  appointed  agent  may  deem  necessary  to  safeguard  the  agricultural 
interests  of  this  Territory  against  the  introduction  of  possible  pests  of  an 
insect,  fungus  or  any  other  parasitic  nature. 
This  regulation  shall  take  effect  from  the  date  of  its  approval.
