the Board of Agriculture and Forestry has promised its support 
in so far as the testing of dairy cattle is concerned, the Board 
of Supervisors promising to piovide the means for a compensa- 
tion of live stock inspectors to assist in this work. 
Regulation Concerning the Inspection of Live Stock in Inter- 
Island Traffic. 
Pursuant to a note from the President of this Board a meeting 
of the Committee on Animal Industry was held in the office of 
Mr. Isenberg on February 1. The principal cattlemen in town 
were notified that a public meeting was to be held at the office 
of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry, at 8 o’clock that 
same evening, but owing to the fact that the president of the 
Hawaii Meat Company, Mr. A. W. Carter, expressed himself 
as satisfied with the service obtained from the steamship com- 
pany carrying the majority of live stock over to Honolulu for 
slaughter, the meeting was but scantily attended and no action 
was taken. It is held by Mr. Carter that until complaint is made 
by the shippers of live stock there is no cause for this Board to 
take any action in the matter, even though the recent statute of 
the last Legislature requires that rules and regulations be made 
by this Board for the purpose of governing the shipment of live 
stock between and on the various islands. The Territorial 
Veterinarian would like further instructions from the Board as 
regards this question.
