Motion was made by President Campbell that all matters in 
connection with the Kohala forest reserve be deferred awaiting 
adjustment of the question of water rights between the Kohala 
Ditch Company and the Kohala interests, the subscribers to the 
fund. Carried. 
President Campbell further reported that Mr. McCrosson of 
the Kohala Ditch Company had guaranteed a contribution by the 
company as follows : 
That they will police the forest reserve in the district through 
which the Kohala ditch passes and keep the fences in repair. 
This means a contribution which continues for the entire life of 
their franchise — for fifty years, and will lessen the Board’s ex- 
pense by about $60 per month. While it will cost the Kohala 
Ditch Company nothing, as they have their men there, it would 
be a great expense to the Government, and if the Kohala Ditch 
Company does not do this, the Board must. Mr. Campbell said 
that this would be equal to a contribution of $720 per year for 
fifty years. 
Any action in regard to the fencing and planting of the Kohala 
forest reserve was deferred until next meeting of the Board, at 
which time the Superintendent of Forestry is requested to be 
present. 
Forestry Substations. 
The Superintendent of Forestry submitted a special report to 
the Board outlining a scheme for the establishment of substa- 
tions on the dififerent Islands — this work of extension to.be car- 
ried on as soon as there is on hand sufficient funds, also an out- 
line for tree planting to be undertaken by the Territorial Govern- 
ment in the different localities. 
Mr. Waterhouse stated that he approved of such recommenda- 
tions, but before any action was taken the question of expense 
should be thoroughly gone into. 
Mr. Campbell stated that the subnurseries and points of dis- 
tribution they had already established were costing but little, as 
most of the work accomplished had been carried on by co- 
operative arrangements with several of the planting managers 
and others. He suggested, when this matter is ready for seri- 
ous consideration, that the new substations be established with 
the idea of cooperation for bearing the burden. 
Mr. Campbell said that by cooperation last Arbor Day, Novem- 
ber 12, 1909, sixty thousand trees were distributed free of charge 
among individuals and corporations, on their application for same.
