GEASS CUTTING ON TANTALUS 
Owing to the complaints which have been received against the grass 
cutters who are ruining the roads on Tantalus, an etfort was made to 
eliminate all grass cutting in this region by enlisting the aid of the 
owners of private property on Tantalus. A circular letter was addressed 
to these owners asking whether they granted permission to cut grass on 
their lands and pointing out the atlvisability of discontinuing the prac- 
tice. To date replies have been received from 26 of the 37 owners and 
each reply has been to the effect that no such permission to cut grass 
has ever been given. 
MOLOKAI TEIP 
From February 8-10, I was on Molokai at the request of the Hawaiian 
Homes Commission giving advice on tree planting in connection with the 
new areas to be opened up to agricultural entry and investigating the 
needs for further forest protection to assure the continuity of the water 
supply which this commission plans to utilize from the Waihanau Stream. 
A special report on this ma-tter will soon be submitted for your con- 
sideration.

Honolulu, T. H. 
Dear Sir: The following statement of my activities during February, 
1922, is respectfully submitted: 
The entire month was spent on the island of Oahu, largely upon accu- 
mulated office work in Honolulu. Among the projects given attention were:

sideration of objections to Eule V raised at the Board's hearing on Feb- 
ruary 14, and cooperation with the Outdoor Circle of Honolulu in securing 
an expert to care for the city shade trees. 
Two short field trips were made, one on February 7, to Kunia to re- 
cover a number of forest reserve monuments which had been stored there 
some years ago; and one on February 20, with the Superintendent of For- 
estry, to inspect a forest area through which it has been proposed to build 
a military road. 
Eespectfully submitted, 
C. J. KEAEBEL,
