Mr. von Holt moved that he be allowed not to exceed $25 
each month, to spend as he sees fit, for traveling expenses 
in connection with his work of inspection for the Division 
of Entomology or also special forestry work ; this allotment 
of v$25 to be in addition to his salary and other amounts he 
receives at present for various purposes, it to be made clear 
to him that the allowance is not accumulative and that for 
every expense incurred he is to secure a receipt and submit 
bill for payment on the usual official forms, by the end of 
every month. The motion was seconded and carried. 
It was also voted that Mr. Ehrhorn be authorized to in- 
struct Bro. Newell that on receipt of his orders for such 
materials as he may be in need of to carry on his work, as he 
has been charged excessive retail prices, if it is at all possible 
to procure the same here in Honolulu, they will be honored

Mr. Ehrhorn reported that Bro. Newell has been doing 
very hard work and has accompished excellent results with 
what little money he has had available, and the Board con-

the animals brought together and the testing done at one and 
the same time and place — taking them here or there as re- 
quests come in requires ten visits at each place and means 
a lot of time consumed in traveling back and forth, but he 
has accepted all cases and attended to each as soon as he 
could. It takes really three people to do the testing, and a 
great many cases take him away from Honolulu, and the 
Doctor added that this means extra expense in the way of 
transportation and subsistence in cases where he or his rep-

Mr. Waterhouse made motion that, even though the Board 
cannot at the present time get the cooperation of the Board
