Veterinarian went from Honolulu to that place in order to inspect 
them at the expiration of the quarantine period which occurred 
two days after his arrival. The animals were all found to be 
sound and were accompanied by the requisite inspection papers. 
Of the 70 mules which arrived on the steamship Lurline on 
April 6, 32 head were allowed to remain on board the said 
steamer to be carried to Kahului where they were kept in quar- 
antine under the supervision of Dr. Fitzgerald. 
In connection with the shipment of a horse on the steamer En- 
terprise which left San Francisco on February 12 for Hilo, the 
said horse being accompanied by a certificate of mallein test, a 
letter from the Federal inspector in charge at the port of San 
Francisco is herewith submitted. It would appear that the in- 
spector allowed the shipment of this horse as a result of misin- 
formation furnished him by the shipper of the animal. 
INSPECTION SERVICE ON MAUI. 
I would respectfully request the Board to confirm at this meet- 
ing its decision to subsidize the Deputy Territorial Veterinarian 
for the District of Maui with the sum of $50 per month from 
May 1, 1910, the same decision having been arrived at before 
the departure of Mr. Isenberg for the mainland. The Maui Live 
Stock Association which hitherto has been paying Dr. Fitzgerald 
a monthly salary of $100 for official services has practically been 
dissolved. The live stock owners of the County of Maui have 
requested this Board to contribute to Dr. Fitzgerald’s traveling 
expenses and subsistence while performing inspection work per- 
taining to the eradication of infectious and contagious diseases 
among live stock. It is understood that unless the Board can see 
its way to assist in this matter Dr. Fitzgerald’s services as Deputy 
Territorial Veterinarian must be terminated as he cannot afford 
to do the official work without compensation, even though he has 
shown a strong inclination to do so and has to my knowledge at- 
tended to several outbreaks without receiving any compensation, 
therefore, not even his traveling expenses. 
I believe that the members of the Board are in receipt of com- 
munications pertaining to this subject and would therefore ask 
the Board to take action in the matter at the present meeting. 
In my opinion it would be very unfortunate if the office of Deputy 
Territorial Veterinarian for Maui would have to be abolished, as 
glanders undoubtedly prevails on this island to a greater extent 
than on any of the other islands. 
TUBERCULOSIS. 
Considerable time has been given to the investigation of the 
prevalence of tuberculosis among the dairy cattle of the City 
and County of Honolulu. In order to enforce the milk ordinance 
passed by the Board of Supervisors it became necessary for them
