The  principal  part  of  my  time  since  my  last  report  has  been 
occupied  with  the  construction  of  the  new  quarantine  station 
on  the  Beach  road,  near  Sheridan  avenue.  The  plans  for  the 
same,  having  been  approved  by  you,  actual  work  was  begun 
on  June  29th.  During  the  entire  month  of  July  an  average  of 
fourteen  men  per  day  were  kept  at  work  under  the  supervision 
of  Mr.  Morse  of  the  Public  Works  Department,  assisted  by 
Mr.  Venhuizen  of  this  office.  With  the  exception  of  the 
stretching  of  the  woven  wire  fence,  which  is  expected  to 
arrive  here  shortly,  the  station  can  now  be  considered  90  per 
cent,  finished.  From  the  beginning  of  the  present  month  only 
two  men  are  kept  at  work  constructing  and  hanging  gates. 
There  still  remains  to  be  built  three  feed  rooms,  shelter  in  the 
pig  pens  and  feed  racks  in  the  box  stalls  and  isolation  stalls 
and  the  fence  fronting  on  the  Beach  road. 
The  quarantine  station  in  Kalihi  has  been  abandoned  after 
the  removal  of  all  the  new  lumber,  which  had  been  used  dur- 
ing the  month  of  June  for  repairing  fences  and  gates.  What 
remains  on  the  premises,  that  is  fences,  troughs,  water-pipes, 
and  a large  shed  with  a small  adjoining  office,  will  be  sold  at 
public  auction. 
The  quarantine  station  adjoining  the  Union  Feed  Company's 
stable  has  likewise  been  abandoned,  the  sheds  and  feed  rooms 
taken  down  and  removed  to  the  new  quarantine  station.  The 
two  wire  enclosures  with  gates  still  remain  intact,  but  will  be 
removed  as  soon  as  convenient  unless  other  disposition  can  be 
made  of  them. 
The  various  importers  of  stock  who  have  seen  the  new  sta- 
tion express  great  satisfaction  with  it  and  I do  not  believe 
that  there  will  be  any  opposition  on  the  part  of  anybody  to 
have  their  stock  quarantined  there,  even  before  the  Board 
will  be  in  a position  to  make  its  use  compulsory. 
I am  in  receipt  of  a letter  from  D'r.  A.  R.  Glaizyer  of  Lihue, 
Kauai,  in  which  he  states  that  the  Kauai  Plantation  Associa- 
tion has  engaged  him  as  veterinarian  with  a salary  of  $200 
per  month  and  asking  that  he  be  appointed  Deputy  Territorial 
Veterinarian  by  this  Board.  Knowing  that  the  Board  is  in 
favor  of  this  step  I have  had  his  commission  made  out  and  for- 
warded to  you  for  the  approval  of  the  Board  and  for  your 
signature.  His  appointment  will  be  a great  satisfaction  to  me 
as  I have  been  working  for  more  than  two  years  for  the  pur- 
pose of  obtaining  official  representations  of  this  Board  on  the 
principal  islands.  This  will  now  be  accomplished  and  the 
final  perfection  of  the  Veterinary  Sanitary  Service  of  this 
Board  may  be  looked  for  when  a suitable  man  can  be  found 
for  the  Hamakua  and  Kohala  districts  of  Hawaii.  I have 
already  had  several  applications  for  the  place  but  all  from 
young  men,  recently  graduated,  none  of  whom  I consider  able 
to  fill  the  position.  I am,  however,  having  the  matter  con-
