port  from  the  Territory  and  under  territorial  supervision,  as  fully 
described  in  previous  reports. 
I have  gone  into’  this  subject  in  detail  as  it  appears  that  for 
the  present  time  at  least  the  city  and  county  government  of  Oahu 
has  dropped  the  subject  of  regulating  the  dairy  industry  at  least 
so  far  as  requiring  the  tuberculin  test  for  cows  furnishing  com- 
mercial milk,  and  as  a number  of  dairymen  and  cattle  owners  are 
anxious  to  rid  their  herds  of  tuberculosis,  I thought  it  well  for 
the  Board  to  be  prepared  to  render  assistance  along  these  lines 
when  so  requested. 
Hog  Cholera.  I append  herewith  further  correspondence  with 
the  inspector  in  charge  in  San  Francisco,  Dr.  Geo.  S.  Baker,  per- 
taining to  the  prevention  of  exportation  from  San  Francisco  to 
this  place  of  hogs  suffering  from  cholera.
