Exhaustive
Report On
Tree Life
SUPERVISORS WILL HAVE SUB
REPORT OF FORESTRY.

The Board of Supervisors when they
meet on next Monday evening will have
submitted to them a most exhaustive
report on the tree life of the District of
koolau. 1t was prepared by Secretary
of Forestry James Cullen Of Waiahole
under the direction of Supervisor Paele.
incidentally the county paid for the
compilation at the rate OF 81 so per day
and the report contains the names and
it was passed. Then one day Paele ask
in that district.
At the first of the present year the
Board of Supervisors received from the
East request from some person for
information i'm regard to the tree life
i'm these islands. Chairman Smith gave
instructions to the members of the
Board to each of them prepare a report
on their district and submit it to Sup
ervisor Lucas who would forward it to
the party desiring the information.
Nothing further was thought of the
matter and the time went on. When
the payrolls came up to be passed there
was the name of James Cullen as For
ester and his amount due from the
county was figured at the rate of 50. so
per day Paele said it was alright so
it was passed. Then one day Paele asg-
ed for a typewriter and he got that
Chief Clerk Buffandeau of the County
Clerks office endeavored at different
times to find out from Paele just what
the man, named as a forester was do
ing. Paele always replied "Oh, he is
working"
After two or three months Lucas got
to looking for some way to cut down
expenses and his eye fell upon the name
of James Cullen. He pressed his in
quiries upon Paele and the truth came
out Cullen, who signed himself as
Secretary of Forestry" had with great
pains gone over the district and count
ed every tree and taken notes of their
kind and was preparing a report on
the tree life of that district for the
board. The board had a good laugh
over the matter and then forgot about
it after they stopped the man from
drawing more warrants.
The matter might have been forgotten
but it seems that the Secretary" had
just completed his typewriting of the
report and it is to be submitted to the
board on next Monday evening.
