1 the Territorial Veterinarian, concerning
/ the existence of CHAMBERS in horses and
/ tuberculosis in cattle within the Terri
tory, and certain proposed rules and
/ regulations recommended by him.
| The Department of Animal Industry
| was created by the last Territorial Leg
| islature, and made a division under the
| Board of Agriculture and Forestry
| eral Animal Inspector for the Territory,
has been appointed Territorial Veteri-
marian. He has been making investiga-
| tions as to conditions relating to live
stock in the Territory generally, and
concerning the inspection and quaran-
| timing of animals imported into the Ter
ritory. He finds that the rules and reg
ulations governing these subjects are
deficient and consequently asked that
action be taken to remedy the def
cheney. He reports that he has found
number of cases of CHAMBERS in and
around Honolulu and of tuberculosis
among the dairy herds supplying the
city with milk.
Messrs. A. w. Carter and l.. A. Thurs
ton of the Committee on Rules and Reg
ulations, presented the following rules
and regulations, which had been drawn
in conjunction with DR.. Norgaard.
The proposed rules were adopted. A
committee was appointed to confer with
the Board of Health concerning further
regulations for the enforcement of in
spection and regulation of tuberculous
cows and milk.
Following are the new regulations:
