BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF AGRICULTURE 
AND FORESTRY. 
On February 24, 1908, Governor Frear held a Public Hearing 
in the office of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry in Hono- 
lulu to consider the setting apart of the West Maui Forest Re- 
serve, the Makawao Forest Reserve, also on Maui, and the Waia- 
ha Spring Forest Reserve in North Kona, Hawaii. There was 
no opposition to any of the reserves. On the contrary, numerous 
statements were made and letters read endorsing the action 
taken as wise and proper. Official proclamations will be issued 
in due course.. 
As the name indicates the West Maui Forest Reserve embraces 
the entire top of the West Maui Mountain above the limit of 
the agricultural land. The Makawao Forest Reserve consists of 
a portion of the Government land of Makawao on the slope of 
Mount Haleakala. The Waiaha Spring Reserve is a remnant 
of Government land on the slope of Mount Hualalai. All three 
tracts are set apart because of their value for water conservation. 
The areas of the three tracts are as follows :
